Motorhead LP

Album Details

One of the greatest heavy metal records of all time by a band that has come to epitomize the genre, Motörhead's eponymous 1977 debut sounds as relevant today as it seemed abrasive and genre-bending in its year of release. With this record, Lemmy and company reinvigorated a style of music that was quickly losing its bite. By filling these songs with the fast, driving rhythms of the burgeoning punk movement, yet keeping the dark elements of Ozzy's Black Sabbath, Motörhead created the first crossover (hybrid of metal and punk) album and made metal scary again by bringing it back to where it originally belonged. Home to the early classics "Born To Lose," "Vibrator," and "White Line Fever" and marking the the first use of the band's classic War-Pig symbol/logo!
