Big-rig head crushers such as&nbsp;\u201c<strong>Thunder &amp; Lightning<\/strong>\u201d and&nbsp;\u201c<strong>Teach Them How To Bleed<\/strong>\u201d brought such people to their knees begging for forgiveness, as the&nbsp;album unfurled into their toughest, leanest, meanest and most uncompromising album in aeons. Much of this came down to long-time producer&nbsp;<strong>Cameron Webb<\/strong>&nbsp;getting the band to record live at NRG&nbsp;<strong>North Hollywood, Maple Studios and Grandmaster<\/strong>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<strong>California<\/strong>&nbsp;together for the first time in the&nbsp;<strong>Kilmister\/Campbell\/Dee<\/strong>&nbsp;era, and from the crackling punk energy of&nbsp;\u201c<strong>Electricity<\/strong>\u201d to&nbsp;<strong>Brian May<\/strong>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<strong>Queen<\/strong>\u2019s scintillating guest-appearance on&nbsp;\u201c<strong>The Devil<\/strong>\u201d, a vast wealth of aggression, attitude, and excellent songwriting was cultivated in that furious working environment.&nbsp;<strong>Phil&nbsp;Campbell<\/strong>&nbsp;didn\u2019t just record possibly his finest guitars, he threw down most certainly his best solos for decades, while&nbsp;<strong>Mikkey Dee<\/strong>\u2019s drumming found new tribal resonance with the&nbsp;<strong>Mot\u00f6rhead<\/strong>&nbsp;sound he had helped nurture. There was also one of&nbsp;<strong>Lemmy<\/strong>&#8216;s rawest lyrical life reflections on&nbsp;\u201c<strong>Till The End<\/strong>\u201d, and a cover of&nbsp;<strong>The<\/strong><strong>Rolling Stones<\/strong>\u2019&nbsp;\u201c<strong>Sympathy For The Devil<\/strong>\u201d which made the song feel like&nbsp;<em>one&nbsp;<\/em>of their own.&nbsp;<a>One of the hidden gold-dust additions to&nbsp;<strong>Bad Magic:&nbsp;<em>SERIOUSLY<\/em>&nbsp;BAD MAGIC<\/strong>,&nbsp;<\/a>is&nbsp;<strong>Mot\u00f6rhead<\/strong>\u2019s famous,&nbsp;<a><\/a><a>and internationally acclaimed, version of&nbsp;<strong>David Bowie\u2019s<\/strong>&nbsp;classic&nbsp;\u201c<strong>Heroes<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.&nbsp;Originally slated for inclusion on the last release only to be withdrawn at the last minute, it was a cover version which&nbsp;<strong>Lemmy<\/strong>&nbsp;had a great affection for, and as such its inclusion here is both fitting and just.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a>As the title says, this is\u00a0<strong>Mot\u00f6rhead<\/strong>\u00a0delivering some<strong><em>\u00a0SERIOUSLY BAD MAGIC.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br><br><strong>Bad Magic:\u00a0<em>SERIOUSLY<\/em>\u00a0BAD MAGIC<\/strong>\u00a0will be released on Double 12\u201d Vinyl, CD Digipak with Bonus Disc, Limited Edition Boxset, Digital Download and Streaming.
