BEATALLICA To Release 'Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band' In July

Although THE BEATLES certainly had some "heavy" moments ("Helter Skelter", "Revolution" or "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", anyone?),they are certainly not considered a metal band. And on the other side of the coin, METALLICA is not considered a pop band. But then along comes BEATALLICA, and the line...

Jack Knife Rendezvous

Dunderheaded German metal with a clunky punk attack, like a more low-rent version of the first MAIDEN record, complete with endearingly off-key vocals, rudimentary twin leads and titles like "Bleed For My Strings" and "Witch of Death" to ensure maximum metal cliché goofiness. The end result is somew...

Kiss of Death

At 61 years old, Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister isn't about to go out of his way to win over those few, pathetic, soulless bints who don't like MOTÖRHEAD. The band has a well-worn groove, and they've settled into it, releasing a string of albums over the last decade so consistent, it's easy to forget someti...

The Mystery Spot

Slinky, sleazy blues-and-booze rock from the Rust Belt of the USA, lumped in with the stoner rock crowd because there's really nowhere else for 'em to get lumped (at least not until you all wise up and go buy some TENDERLOIN records). Ohio's prodigal drunks get a lot more love in Europe than they do...

Orgasmatron

Having survived the "Robbo" phase that resulted in 1983's often unjustly derided "Another Perfect Day", 1984's double-LP compilation "No Remorse" introduced the world (by way of four new songs) to another revamped MOTÖRHEAD lineup. Ex-SAXON drummer Pete Gill replaced Philthy Animal Taylor and Brian...

MOTÖRHEAD Classics To Be Reissued

MOTÖRHEAD is rightfully regarded as a legend. More than 30 years of turning fans' eardrums and brains into a bloody pulp will do that. Iconic vocalist/bassist Lemmy wouldn't have it any other way. Three of MOTÖRHEAD's most important albums — 1983's "Another Perfect Day", 1986's "Orgasmatron" and 198...
