"13 tracks of euphemisms in stories of drinking, fighting and sex."

More Motorhead More Motorhead

Now on their 22nd studio album, Motorhead bring us Bad Magic, 13 tracks of euphemisms in stories of drinking, fighting and sex, all punched into a soundtrack of roaring guitar drivers.

Motorhead have far from broken new ground, but while their formula stays the same the tracks have sharpened significantly from recent records. Keeping producer Cameron Webb at the helm and letting the band step back into ball-busting double kick thrash style with gruff blues bass and the unmistakable Lemmy Kilmister vocal has birthed an album that Motorhead and metal fans alike will lap up.
