After so many patchy releases through the decades, Motorhead finally visit the depths of Hell and produce their nastiest record to date, a truly terrifying demon that rattles, crashes and lashes like no other. Motorhead border on a new wave of black heavy metal insanity, Lemmy's throat takes on more razor blades and the music is far less polished, promising rust and oil spillage, an outpouring of utmost evil as the title kicks in, Lemmy gurgling through the white hot speed, and although 'Sex And Death' might be formula, the punishing stomp of 'Over Your Shoulder' is quite simply breath taking, and coupled with the black evil of 'War For War' you wonder where Motorhead have found this second breath from, the chorus of this beast is just massive, and it doesn't let up, track after track of blazing metal, Mikky Dee on the drums breaking down walls, but its Lemmy and his vocal delivery which truly terrifies. 'All Gone To Hell' is awesome, the warted one reaching deep into his larynx, 'Make Em Blind' a creeping, ominous threat of a record. Eleven tracks, probably the band's finest and thickest work.
8.5/10
