THE BEAST

MOTIVIK - Death Of The Gunmen - Reviewed by KOBZR ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.kobzr-magazine.de/cd-reviews/m/motivik-death-of-the-gunmen/

Each of the eight tracks is a hell of a destruction hammer that almost makes you take off from the sheer propeller banging. Prepare frocks, rivets and beer and off with your fists in the sky! The lion's share of the blast is good Thrash Metal. The riffing doesn't sound dusty or old-fashioned. On the contrary, extremely handy, fresh and carefree, the ax faction dismantles any neck area and beer garnish without getting stuck on the dominant Thrash boot. Modernity and boredom are foreign words for MOTIVIK, instead they prefer to focus on speed and razor-sharp riffing. But as it is, the massive wrecking balls mowed over everything mercilessly. If you listen to the disc with an open mind, you immediately feel like you've been transported back a few years - but you shouldn't mourn the past, because thanks to bands like MOTIVIK, the flag of metal will never sink to the ground. Be sure to check it out - it's worth it.

Well we made it to the end of the year, and what a crazy year it has been. Aside from all the craziness, Roxx Records still kept the music coming with almost 40 new releases this year. Many of which have been brand new artists and brand new music. And we are not quite done yet….

Roxx Records is excited to announce our last full release for 2020 the brand new release from Atlanta’s very own Motivik. How do you say Motivik? (MOE-TEE-VICK) what does Motivik mean? Motivik is derived from the word Motive. And what is the Motive of Motivik? To rock you hard with a message of hope and encouragement for a lost generation.

Motivik features Ryan Roebuck handling the music and vocals and Courtney Simmons on vocals. That’s right dual vocalists, modeled in a way much like Gary Lenaire and Guy Ritter from Tourniquet except they pretty evenly share the vocal duties. If you ask Motivik what there sound is like or what their style is they would say they are ‘Melodic Groove Thrash’. A little more on the thrashy side if you ask us, especially when you listen to the bands cover song from Sacrament ‘Souls in Torment’ featuring a guest appearance from Sacrament’s very own Robert Wolfe. Check out a sample of the track here.

Well we are happy to be bringing you the bands debut full length effort entitled, “Death of the Gunman” and it will be coming your way before the end of 2020! If you love thrash, groove, doom and rock all spun together and cooked up with catchy hooks be sure to pick up a copy!

The first single and lyric video are out now and have recently been serviced to magazine and radio. Check out the first single ‘Away’ and request it wherever they play hard and heavy Christian music.

This one is right around the corner and releasing officially on December 18 just in time for Christmas. Pre orders are live now and at the incredibly low introductory price of $9.99 Pre Order Here! https://roxxrecords.com/
