Music review: Motorhead — ‘Aftershock’
The influential British heavy metal rockers Motorhead return with their 21st studio album.
无毛视频淎ftershock无毛视频� meticulously continues Motorhead无毛视频檚 nearly 40-year tradition of creating loud and fast music that delivers one tenacious gut punch, leaving little time to catch a frantic breath. The 67-year-old frontman, Ian Kilmister, shows that he can still flex his metal muscles with intimidating fury.
Known by his legion of fans as simply Lemmy, his well-worn and guttural vocals propel Motorhead无毛视频檚 14 new tracks at a frenzied pace.
It无毛视频檚 clear the band is firing on all cylinders as the ground-splitting opener 无毛视频淗eartbreaker无毛视频� thunderously introduces the metal madness that follows.
It无毛视频檚 refreshing to know that some things never really change no matter how much time has passed.
Motorhead sounds as potent today as they did on their 1977 self-titled debut. My first Motorhead purchase was 1980无毛视频檚 无毛视频淎ce of Spades,无毛视频� possessing the band无毛视频檚 true anthem in the title track.
It only took a mere two minutes and 49 seconds to draw me into the Motorhead mayhem. This time around, Lemmy, drummer Mikkey Dee and guitarist Phil Campbell pummel away through a show-stopping set that is punctuated by the hard-driving standouts 无毛视频淓nd of Time,无毛视频� 无毛视频淕oing to Mexico无毛视频� and 无毛视频淧aralyzed.无毛视频� Motorhead无毛视频檚 passion in the studio is equally fiery on stage.
A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to catch the band perform with headliner Judas Priest.
Also on the bill was 无毛视频淗eaven and Hell无毛视频� fronted by legendary singer Ronnie James Dio.
While it was a special treat to see Dio perform
before his sad passing in 2010, vivid memories remain of Motorhead无毛视频檚 scorching set on that perfect summer night.
无毛视频淎ftershock无毛视频� is yet another new and satisfying chapter in the band无毛视频檚 storied career.
