Clearly we made a decision not everyone liked, but back then we were damn proud of our sound because we regarded it as original and pure! We recorded the Album with Davide and Ian love in NYC. I think this record went over lots of peoples heads, including Wreckage, who hated our guitar solos and metal parts hahaha!. We injected a huge new influence of technical and progressive metal guitar riffs and drumming with strong and increased dark texture topped off with depressing words of isolation screamed as intensely as possible by Atif. This happened to coincide with the release of “I Vs.
#Ricochet lost worlds music rips free#
We were eventually tempted by the poisons and Atif and I “sold out” to our drug free life style. The sound was solidfied with a new bassist “Ballpoint” Pete who previously played with the LIHC band “the Motoba Erehwon Conspiracy”.Ĭonstant intense live shows followed and we kept writing more intense songs. Atif took over on vocals and unleashed this insane roar that I swear could be heard without a fucking PA! What followed was a return to Outeast Studios and 3 new songs that were regarded by most as Motives finest hour: “A Doctrine of Scripted Torture”. Somewhere around this time, we were picked up by the NYC label Exit/Wreckage. Unfortunately Al Carter (RIP) didn’t work out (long long story) with our increasing taste for darker and acidic music and we decided to part ways with him. The recording showcased the first sign of our advancing sound with dissonant chords, a boost of chaotic energy and Jay May at the helm at Outeast Studios. Next was an ill-fated 7” “Underneath The Principleless Terrain” on the instantly defunct label Bittersweet Records where only 100 copies are said to have made it out into circulation. Shortly after we also recorded 2 songs for the “516 Comp” on None of the Above Records and we instantly were playing shows in the thriving Long Island Hardcore Scene. We recorded the first demo “Demonstration” at the old ARTI studio. AL brought with him a wealth of knowledge and hardcore ideology on vocals that immediately fit in with our newly formed “straight edge” version of Motive. At first, we tried out friend Macky, but eventually decided to not work with him and kept looking for a vocalist… The sound was a mix of old school hardcore with a biting metallic tinge. I remember early on, we rehearsed in the Northport basement of of “Maxx the punk” and wrote most of our early tunes.
So it was great to meet someone new who was already a good drummer and start up a brand new project. Before playing with Pete, Atif and I played in a violent metal band Crooked Stick who unfortunately broke up. Also he was already playing out the short lived LIHC band Derailed.
We instantly clicked with Pete and he really was the perfect drummer as he was tight and played like a machine. Atif and I were looking to start a new hardcore band after being exposed to hardcore music in the senior year of our dead end william floyd high school senior year.
