MOTORHEAD: "Bad Magic: Seriously Bad Magic" To Be Released By Silver Lining On February 24th 2023
November 30, 2022
Motörhead, the iconic Godfathers of heavy metal, released their 23[sup]rd[/sup](and final) studio albumBad Magicin 2015. Instantly hailed as one of the best the beloved trio had recorded in many years,Bad Magic:SERIOUSLYBAD MAGICenjoys a bonus-packed refresh, adding two previouslyunreleasedtracks from those furious sessions:
"Bullet in Your Brain"and "Greedy Bastards" as well as a snarling, fangs-out live performance from that subsequent tour at the giantMtFuji Festivalin Japan in 2015. Fans will also get "War, Love, Death and Injustice", an audio interview withLemmyconducted byMotörheadexpertRobert Kiewikduring the tour, and should the desire to have a chat withLemor anyone beyond this mortal coil arise, the box-set will exclusively contain aMURDER ONEouija board (complete with theAce of Spadesplanchette to spell out the conversation).
A new video for"Bullet In Your Brain", featuring exclusive, never before seen footage ofMotörheadin the studio for theBad Magicsessions, is available right now.A foot-down, fist-pumping,Lemmy-bass-driven stomper with a deliciously dirtyCampbellriff, andDee-driven dynamics, both the song and footage are a tremendous treat for fans who have craved new Motörmaterial.

At thetime of its release back in 2015,Bad Magicarrived as a massive kick in the teeth for anyone who believedMotörheadwere going to amble along into a peaceful little pasture containing fluffy little lambs, folk music and perhaps the odd medieval lute here and there. Big-rig head crushers such as"Thunder & Lightning" and"Teach Them How To Bleed" brought such people to their knees begging for forgiveness, as thealbum unfurled into their toughest, leanest, meanest and most uncompromising album in aeons. Much of this came down to long-time producerCameron Webbgetting the band to record live at NRGNorth Hollywood, Maple Studios and GrandmasterinCaliforniatogether for the first time in theKilmister/Campbell/Deeera, and from the crackling punk energy of"Electricity" toBrian MayofQueen's scintillating guest-appearance on"The Devil", a vast wealth of aggression, attitude, and excellent songwriting was cultivated in that furious working environment.PhilCampbelldidn't just record possibly his finest guitars, he threw down most certainly his best solos for decades, whileMikkey Dee's drumming found new tribal resonance with theMotörheadsound he had helped nurture. There was also one ofLemmy's rawest lyrical life reflections on"Till The End", and a cover ofTheRolling Stones'"Sympathy For The Devil" which made the song feel likeoneof their own.One of the hidden gold-dust additions toBad Magic:SERIOUSLYBAD MAGIC,isMotörhead's famous,and internationally acclaimed, version ofDavid Bowie'sclassic"Heroes".Originally slated for inclusion on the last release only to be withdrawn at the last minute, it was a cover version whichLemmyhad a great affection for, and as such its inclusion here is both fitting and just.
As the title says, this isMotörheaddelivering someSERIOUSLY BAD MAGIC.
