About this deal

This isn't the song that'll make your lawn die, but this is still completely as MOTORHEAD as it gets. 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. This created an issue during recording and when Webb complained to manager Todd Singerman, he said, "dude, your ears are different. on a lot of the songs the production is a lot more guitar-oriented than some of the previous Motorhead works.

Fight", "The Terminal Show", "Killers" and "In The Name Of Tragedy" are especially ass-whomping tracks on a seriously murderous album.

Indeed, the man who seemed to be blessed with the power to live a rockstar life eternally, died exactly six years ago. you'd think it makes no sense, but here it is another tribute to the absolute BRILLIANCE of Lemmy and pals. The band explained that they made Inferno the same way as all their other albums – at the last minute – by renting a big rehearsal room in Los Angeles and writing songs for about six weeks and, after a week break, recording them while they're still fresh. Oh yeah, but the lyrics for "In the Name of Tragedy" are a little dumb (but hearing Lemmy rhyme "funky" and "monkey" is kind of funny). One also can’t forget about the closing “Whorehouse Blues” as Mikkey Dee trades his drums in for another guitar and Lemmy breaks out the harmonica for a rousing acoustic jam that makes you wonder how many of these the band had left in them.

I know, it’s no new finding that Lemmy was always an expert in reducing music to its essentials and this song shows once again that conventional song patterns are no indication for a stale overall picture. Lemmy, Phil and Mikkey offered a few extremely catchy yet absolutely heavy tracks on their album from 2004.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? While they didn’t stray too far from the template that was laid down by Lemmy’s bass distortion and gargled wheeze, their sound did evolve over time as they discovered variations to their tried and true formula. Every now and then, a song walks the thin line between “okay” and “meaningless”, for example “In the Year of the Wolf”, but after all, there is no reason to skip a song. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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.
