Five Finger Death Punch’s Ivan Moody Addresses Motograter Reunion Rumors

UPDATE (01/14/26): Ivan Moody has clarified his actual role with Motograter, confirming he is not rejoining the band but is instead overseeing the band’s legacy behind the scenes. You can read the full details here.

Speculation surrounding a potential Motograter reunion with former frontman Ivan Moody continues to build, with new comments from both Moody himself and drummer Noah “Shark” Robertson suggesting that discussions are actively unfolding behind the scenes.

The renewed buzz first emerged after former Motograter member Michael “The Kidd” Stewart hinted on social media that the band had reconnected with Moody. While no official announcement has followed, Robertson has since offered the clearest indication yet that the situation goes beyond casual hangouts.

When asked whether Moody was simply visiting, collaborating, or back with the band in a more formal capacity, Robertson explained:

“Everything is a conversation right now. To what extent he is involved is yet to be determined.”

Those remarks stop short of confirming a full-scale reunion, but they do acknowledge that Moody is actively involved in discussions — leaving the door open for multiple possibilities.

Moody himself has since added fuel to the speculation by posting on social media, noting that he plans to spend time with members of Motograter in the coming days and accompanying the post with the hashtag #bestisyettocome. While his comments did not explicitly confirm a return, the message aligns with Robertson’s remarks and suggests that something is actively developing.

Moody originally fronted Motograter during the band’s early 2000s run, helping establish their abrasive, industrial-tinged nü-metal sound before departing and later achieving massive success as the vocalist of multi-platinum groove metal act Five Finger Death Punch.

At present, neither Motograter nor Moody have outlined concrete plans regarding new music, live performances, or lineup changes. However, with both the band’s drummer and its former frontman now acknowledging ongoing communication, the possibility of a reunion appears more tangible than ever — even if its final form remains undefined.
