Since forming in 2005, Sarajevo's Motherpig have taken a career path that might be better represented by referring to them as Motörpig from now on. Evolving out of more gore/noisecore orientated beginnings – look to Malignant Tumour and Blood Duster for proof that there's life after death – even in their Murderpig phase there was a streak of punk rock discontent that prevented them settling on typical taboo-busting noisecore provocations. Eventually even the vilest toddler has to stop playing with his poo (or in this case appearing on '100 Way Splatter Fetish' compilations) and grow up, or get institutionalised in some sort of home for the dangerously insane (incidentally, where the cover art for the '100 Way Splatter Fetish' compilations was drawn).Receiving a jolt of Motörpowered energy in 2008, the band chopped the sleeves off their denim and (dis)charged into their Motörpig era at full-throttle. Armed with broken glass gargling growls, throbbing drums and hard rocking riffs, they released 'The Underdog Philosophy, a split with politically active Belgian grind veterans Agathocles, penned a take on 'Largactyl' for a Balkan Amebix tribute album, played a whole bunch of grind and punk shows, and even opened for the legendary Napalm Death in Sarajevo. With one song up already from their eagerly awaited bastard of a full-length, 'Nojev Let', they promise "influences from all around the world because we've begged for it - dirty South American thrash, harsh Japanese '80s sound, bulldozing kind-a-Nyctophobic-grindish wall of sound. We're proud. We love it. You'll learn to love it."
