Motorpsycho is a Norwegian rock band that was formed in Trondheim in 1989. The original line-up consisted of Bent Sæther, Hans Magnus Ryan, and Kjell Runar Jenssen. They derived their name from a Russ Meyer film and released their first album "Lobotomizer" in 1991. After the departure of Jenssen, Håkon Gebhardt joined as the drummer and remained with the band for 14 years until his departure in 2005 to pursue other projects.
Their music is characterized by its diverse range of styles, incorporating elements of progressive rock, psychedelia, and alternative rock. Over the years, Motorpsycho has gained a loyal following with their unique sound and experimental approach to songwriting.
With numerous albums under their belt, Motorpsycho continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide with their dynamic live performances. Their enduring presence in the music industry is a testament to their talent and dedication as musicians.

Considering the tight run of albums since the first part of the Gullvåg Trilogy in 2017 – three double and a single album in less than four years – the 16 months wait for Ancient Astronauts must feel like an eternity for the fans. Much of the music continue in the manner of the band’s popular long form “N.O.X.” suite from “The All Is One” (2019) album, including “Mona Lisa/Azrael” and “Chariot of The Sun”, the latter clocking in at 22 minutes, being the band´s longest instrumental track to date. Most of Ancient Astronauts was recorded in Amper Tone studio in Oslo during five days in August with old compadre Deathprod at the helm. All four tracks are basically the band playing live in the studio, with the odd keyboards, some guitar and the vocals added afterwards. Some of it is in turns pretty frantic and angular or grandiose and hypnotic and is mined from the same sources as the band’s more explorative music from recent years. Meaning there aren’t many choruses to hang on to here, but plenty of mouthwatering music for the progheads. The album was mixed by Andrew Scheps.1/The Ladder 2/The Flower Of Awareness 3/Mona Lisa/Azrael 4/Chariot Of The Sun – To Phaeton On The Occasion Of Sunrise (Theme From An Imagined Movie)
