About this deal

Lemmys bass work is pretty standard "play along with the guitar" stuff, which is for the best since Motörhead plays as a three piece. The bass just needs to "fill things out". Speaking of fills, Lemmy throws some nice little bass fills in, especially in "Killers". Good touch.

Review Summary: If Inferno isn’t the best album that Motorhead ever put out, then it’s a surprisingly powerful addition to their extensive discography at the very least. About Joe Petagno – interview section with Joe Petagno, bonus DVD with Inferno 30th Anniversary edition SPV69748. Of course, the sing-along hooks still offer plenty of melody and there are some slower moments that keep things interesting. “Suicide” may be the most accessible song on here thanks to its building guitar work and surprisingly catchy vocal layering and “Keys to the Kingdom” also stands out for its mid-tempo shuffle. One also can’t forget about the closing “Whorehouse Blues” as Mikkey Dee trades his drums in for another guitar and Lemmy breaks out the harmonica for a rousing acoustic jam that makes you wonder how many of these the band had left in them.Motorhead have been releasing albums for about 30 years now and Inferno is their 21st studio album. Although even their most die-hard of fans will confess all of their Motorhead albums sound the same, they will proudly declare their exciting stage-act is something that no metal fan can afford to miss.

Guitar riffs are at best catchy as hell and at worst slightly annoying. None of the solos are anything to write home about but they're generally short and don't really get in the way. Guy Strachan praised Inferno in Terrorizer as "the best album that Motörhead have ever recorded". [9] Crew [(They Are) The Road Crew], Tour Manager [Tour Coordination & Production: For ..., Los Angeles] – In Time TouringInferno is the 17th album by Motörhead and was originally released on 22nd June 2004. The first of many of the band’s albums to be produced by Cameron Webb, Inferno became Motörhead’s heaviest album in years, although the final song on the album, ‘Whorehouse Blues’ was something of a departure with its country blues style and Lemmy on harmonica. The album was heralded as their best in a decade. BMG are reissuing this album as a double orange vinyl and digipak. It's now been made clear that Motorhead can write, record and tour for 30 years and still complete the list almost incident free. I suppose it would be rude not to buy this album in a sense. If you're an established fan of Motorhead, you should probably add this one to your collection if you haven't already. Otherwise, this wouldn't be a bad start, although you would probably be better off with Overkill. Motorhead first appeared in 1975 when the NWOBHM had first appeared, their rapid high-energy riffs and aggressive vocals had them recognised by both the Punk and Metal community to cause an almost over-night sensation.

But when it comes down to it, Inferno stands out thanks to its more ambitious scope. You won’t find any fancy frills on here but moments like the building intro on “Killers” and the lyrical imagery on “In the Year of the Wolf” give things a more noticeable weight than usual. Albums like 1916 had attempted this sort of thing before but it’s never sounded as natural as it does here. Fight... "Turn the bass up, will ya?" Another speedy burner... then the last few songs are a bit slower, but still effective. They're not QUITE the one-two-three punch of the opening trilogy (which may be the best opening trilogy of any Motorhead studio album!)... still, they are excellent. Year of the Wolf is melodic speed metal, but still sufficiently aggressive to not be mistaken for Stratovarius. A simple, catchy melody line, accentuated by riffs and vocals. The classic Motorhead formula. Then, throw in Keys to the Kingdom, which is a midpaced blues-metal number that somehow reminds me of Saxon... a triumph of midpaced crunch. But Lemmy has more aces (of spades) up his sleeve. His lyrics have always reflected his special view on the world. He delivers his potpourri of angry, cynical, ironic and laconic (“Life is not a TV dinner”) poetry which makes the musically strong songs even more enjoyable. A few times he also reflects on his own past (“Our badge the ace of spades”, “Eat the rich, life’s a bitch”, “Stay clean, be true”). And so he and the other two ruffians create a cool album that avoids almost completely lukewarm stuff. This does not mean that each and every song provides an overdose of excitement. But I guess that no Motörhead tune ever did this after “Ace of Spades” – and this is no problem at all, because this band offered other values: permanent reliability, dirty humor, powerful chords. That’s what made them a constant, well-appreciated factor in the metal community.Other [Web Team] – Alan Burridge, Bernd Klooss, Chris Hamilton (19), Eric Massicotte, Ernie Sheldon Jr., Paul May*, Harold Taylor (4), Johnny Million, Mario Anfang, Mark Jakeway, Paul Higgins (8), Sarmad Sheikh, Stefano Loi (2), Tayva Martinez, TobiasKuehne* The first half of the album is truly perfect, and the second half still is a lovely slab of high-octane Motörhead noise. It may be the most "in-your-face" album, and it's one of their best-produced. There are some subtle hints of loudness war raging, but really, Motörhead's sound is not something that suffers much from that. However, James Monger of AllMusic chided the band for "churning out the same record over and over again". [6] Fans and newcomers alike who have learned to love that signature Motorhead groove will not be disappointed, with "Terminal Show,""Smiling Like A Killer," and "Fight" all delivering the fix. "Fight" deserves particular attention here as far as quality, and one wonders just how Lemmy, now pushing 60 years old, can still play this fast and this heavy. It goes to show any doubters that Motorhead have not lost any of that drive they've had the whole time.
