MOTÖRHEAD · Aftershock (Re-Release) | CD

CD reissue.

Background information about ''

When you put on Aftershock, you know within seconds — this is Motörhead in their purest, most uncompromising form. The 21st studio album from the loudest band on the planet, released in 2013, is a sledgehammer of an album that proves once again why Lemmy and his crew were untouchable. From the opening riff of "Heartbreaker" to the final note of "Paralyzed," this record grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. It's rock 'n' roll stripped to its bones, drenched in distortion, and delivered with that trademark swagger that only Motörhead could pull off.

What makes Aftershock so remarkable is the sheer variety tucked inside the wall of sound. "Lost Woman Blues" is a slow-burning, smoky blues number that shows a side of the band many casual listeners might not expect — Lemmy's gravelly voice carrying a surprising amount of soul. Then you've got barnburners like "Death Machine" and "Coup de Grace," where Phil Campbell's guitar work slices through the mix like a chainsaw while Mikkey Dee demolishes his kit with surgical precision. "Dust and Glass" and "End of Time" carry that reflective weight, almost as if Lemmy knew time was precious. There's a beautiful, ragged honesty running through every track — this isn't music made for charts or accolades, it's music made because these three men simply couldn't stop. And thank the rock gods for that.

For fans of:
Saxon, Judas Priest, Girlschool, Tank, Raven
