"Bad Magic," the 23rd and final studio album from the legendary heavy metal band Motörhead, roars into existence with a raw, unapologetic energy that cements their status as the godfathers of the genre. Released on January 1, 2015, under their own label Motörhead Music, this 42-minute powerhouse is a testament to the band's enduring spirit and musical prowess.
With a tracklist that includes thunderous anthems like "Victory Or Die," "Thunder & Lightning," and the title track "Bad Magic," the album is a relentless assault on the senses. Standout tracks such as "Electricity" and "Evil Eye" showcase the band's signature speed metal aggression, while songs like "Fire Storm Hotel" and "Shoot Out All of Your Lights" deliver hard-hitting rock 'n' roll with a heavy metal edge. The album also features a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil," proving that Motörhead can put their own unique spin on classic rock.
"Bad Magic" was hailed as a true return to form for Motörhead, following the success of their previous album "Aftershock." The album's release was bittersweet, as it came just months before the passing of founding member and rock 'n' roll icon Lemmy Kilmister. Despite the tragic loss, "Bad Magic" stands as a powerful and enduring legacy of Motörhead's unyielding spirit and musical genius. Fans of heavy metal, speed metal, and hard rock will find plenty to love in this electrifying collection of songs.
