Inferno

Product Information

You won’t find any fancy frills on here but moments like the building intro on “Killers” and the lyrical imagery on “In the Year of the Wolf” give things a more noticeable weight than usual. Ten songs like this would make a competent Motorhead album, but the thing with Motorhead is that despite the fact that all their songs are instantly recognisable as Motorhead, they don't pull an AC/DC and sound all the same - this one sounds more like something off Sacrifice or Burner, and that is the contribution to the album. Suicide” may be the most accessible song on here thanks to its building guitar work and surprisingly catchy vocal layering and “Keys to the Kingdom” also stands out for its mid-tempo shuffle. Already the voluminous up-tempo opener “Terminal Show” leaves no doubt that the album gives no reason for concern in terms of the mix. About Joe Petagno – interview section with Joe Petagno, bonus DVD with Inferno 30th Anniversary edition SPV69748.

The rest of the album truly moves at breakneck speeds and overshadows many of Motorheads past accomplishments. Overkill and Ace of Spades are more influential and were ungodly vicious for their time, but Inferno just might be the heaviest album Motorhead ever put out. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. if they can crank out the filler material, and even the filler material is pretty fucken good, more power to 'em. There are these soldiers coming in from the sides, which is very much like Iraq or any other hotspots in the world.The riff of Terminal Show kicks in immediately, and the album just does not fucking let up with the thrash/speed madness through the extended solo, and then the song Killers, and then. In the Name of Tragedy” is a bit darker, but it also profits from a fantastic flow, a memorable chorus and its simple construction that invites you to bang your head. But I wanted to take the original three chrome heads I had created two years earlier and show it in the process of being formed at the foundry.

Suicide's a six minute epic slow-burn, and then "Life's a Bitch" starts off with a blues-punk lick before going into - what's this, more fucking speed metal? Inferno” bursts out of the boxes with lots of self-confidence and so the right frame is set for the songs.Needless to say that the number does not only provide solid heaviness, but also the casual touch that has given a lot of Motörhead’s tracks its special flavour. In an interview for the bonus Inferno DVD, drummer Mikkey Dee states that Webb "pushed us a little more. it is tempting to think that they sold out, pussied out, and made generic shit metal like so many power/speed/thrash bands of the mid-80s, each more generic than the last.

That's right, In the Name of Tragedy is a punk/thrash number with a bit of Laaz power, but with Lemmy and Motorhead doing their thing as only Lemmy and Motorhead can. not fucken Shania Twain, I mean real tr00 country, with shootin' men in Reno (just to watch them die). Right, and it still works and has integrity because of its rootsy feel and downhome sensibility--this is no cheesey acoustic ballad.

The vocals are well done, and there's plenty of subtle harmony to thicken the vocals and bring them out without making them too loud.

Inferno" became Motörhead's heaviest album in years, although the album's final song "Whorehouse Blues" was something of an exception with its country blues style and Lemmy on harmonica.However, James Monger of AllMusic chided the band for "churning out the same record over and over again".
