BAD MAGIC (VINYL)

After 40 years rattling teeth, bones and ears with their legendary rock'n'roll, you might excuse Motorhead if they wanted to ease off, put their feet up, and relax a little. But that's not happening... this is Motorhead !
So instead, Motorhead gleefully say a loud and hearty 'bollocks' to that sort of feeble-minded thinking with their 22nd studio album, 'Bad Magic!'
Bristling with thunderous attitude, pioneering spirit and some of the fiercest rhythms riffs that'll beat your ears into submission this year, 'Bad Magic' is a massive kick in the teeth for anyone who dared believe it might be otherwise.
Drawing on their own vast catalogue of road-warrior freewheeling rock'n'roll spirit, 'Bad Magic' also strides confidently into some of the earlier attitudes Mot rmusic. Written and recorded in the studio together, for the first time in the Kilmister/Campbell/Dee era, the more "live" approach to creating 'Bad Magic' has obviously paid dividends in this regard. The boys even enjoyed a guest appearance from Queen's Brian May on "The Devil," adding a scintillating solo on this thunderous Motorstomper.
Produced at NRG Studios with long time producer Cameron Webb, 'Bad Magic' came together after a couple of years which saw Motorhead enjoy their most successful international era in over two decades off the back of their last release 'Aftershock.' Lemmy also finnally decided to face the fact he is a flesh and blood mortal like the rest of us, adjusting his lifestyle to kick the arse of health-issues and re-emerging stronger, leaner and meaner than ever. His own personal performances on 'Bad Magic' rank as some of the most wide-ranging and unique he has delivered in years, it will be clear to anyone with a pair of ears that 'Bad Magic' is Motorhead 's finest work in over two decades.
