Motorpsycho has its origins way back in the mid-1980s, when teenage Norwegian metal heads Hans Magnus ’Snah’ Ryan and Bent Sæther met. Agreeing that Rainbow Rising was the finest album ever recorded by anyone (a statement often thereafter and still to this day often amended and adjusted), the two later attended the same high school and played together in their first bands in the central Norwegian town of Steinkjer. Line-up:

• Bent Sæther – voce, basso, chitarra, tastiera, batteria
• Hans Magnus Ryan – chitarra, voce addizionale, tastiera, violino
• Tomas Järmyr -
