Motörhead: Lemmy Kilmister (vocals, electric bass); Phil Campbell (guitars); Mikkey Dee (drums).
It's been said that the only things certain in life are death and taxes. One can safely add Motorhead to that adage. The famed trio led by the iconic Lemmy Kilmister released its 23rd album with 2006's KISS OF DEATH. Giving the people what they want straight and true, Motorhead unleash their patented blend of blazing speed-metal riffage and punk-rock attitude across the album's 12 songs. And while KISS OF DEATH occasionally strays from Motorhead's classic template (most effectively on the gritty, surprisingly heartfelt lament "God Was Never on Your Side"), Lemmy certainly wasn't sleeping in class the day they taught that loud and fast is the rule (see: "Sucker" and "Going Down"). In fact, for some time now Mr. Kilmister has been principal of the whole school.
(Note: The North American version of the album contains a bonus re-recording of "Ramones," Motorhead's tribute to their kindred spirits from New York City.)
In the metal community, there are two veteran/legendary bands that, whenever they release a new album, you know pretty much what you're going to get. We're talkin' 'bout AC/DC and Motörhead, of course. While the former band now takes several years between albums, the latter cranks them out on a much more frequent basis, as evidenced by the arrival of 2006's Kiss of Death (which arrived barely over two years since 2004's Inferno). The fact that the hard-living group is still at it is an astonishing feat unto itself, but when you realize they're still keeping pace with the younger acts -- when it comes to touring and recording -- it's even more impressive. As expected, Kiss of Death contains quite a few new numbers that will sound right at home in the set list, nuzzled between "Ace of Spades" and "Overkill," including the album-opening "Sucker," as well as "One Night Stand" and "Christine." And following in the footsteps of the surprise acoustic ditty on their previous album, "Whorehouse Blues," comes another similarly styled track, "God Was Never on Your Side." Yet, overall, there are too many songs that sound like run-of-the-mill modern-day metal (such as "Living in the Past" and "Sword of Glory"), rather than the classic Motörhead sound you'd expect. Still, a mostly good Motörhead album like Kiss of Death easily manages to slay most of the fly-by-night foolers that are currently being showcased on the airwaves. ~ Greg PratoUncut (p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's no surprise that KISS OF DEATH finds Lemmy stripping Motorhead back to their remorseless best..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Lemmy's enduring zeal pays dividends with an album that captures Motorhead's familiar, indomitable grit but plays light and shade with its mood."

Kiss of Death is a 13-track, 45-minute plus whirlwind combustion of just that (rock and roll).
If Inferno was any clue that Motorhead was still going strong after almost 30 years, well, they still are on "Kiss of Death."
There are some plusses to Kiss Of Death over Inferno:
1. Kiss of Death kicks off with the scorchering "sucker", whereas Inferno opened with "terminal Show", a slower, rhythmic tune.
2. Kiss of Death also ends with a sonic bang. The album culminates into a great force of sound in "going down", with Lemmy declaring "you can't mess with Dr. Rock", a humorous poke at their roots. The bonus song "Ramones", sounds looser and harder that when it was originally recorded on the album "1916".
3. Great guitar sound. The mixing was done very well for this album, and it shows in Phil Campbell's playing. One sizzling track that reminds me of "overnight sensation" is "Devil I know", which has Phil's signature tone front row center, and Lemmy declaring, "I might be a dog, but honey you're a bitch". Several other tracks that highlight Phil's guitar sound are "under the gun", "living in the past", "sucker", and "going down".
4. Kiss of Death has some of the best rocking blues tracks ever recorded by the band. The two all-out blues rockers, "one night stand", and "Under the Gun", are placed strategically after two full-force motorhead powerhouse tunes to give the album a deinitive groove, and keep the listener interested. "Under the Gun" has such a catchy chorus and guitar hook--it probably will be played live in one of their upcoming tours.
5. The ballad. While motorhead has done it's shares of hits and misses in the acoustic section, "God Was Never on Your Side" works. The pacing is perfect, and the song simply softens and loudens when it needs to. Like "whorehouse blues", it is also another sleeper for Motorhead.
6. The automatic classic. As soon as I heard "trigger", I knew that Kiss of Death was not going to be some lame, uninspired sequel to "Inferno".
Lemmy's voice throughout the album sounds sinister, especially on the groovy, sacrifice-like "Kingdom of the Worm", which has Mikkey Dee playing great drums to start the song.
The album does have a mid 90s retro feel to it, like the Sacrifice/Overnight Sensation era, but I think that's a positive aspect for the album.
I was not disappointed by too much, other than lackluster tracks such as "Christine", and "Sword of Glory", which I think the band has rehashed in many other song forms on previous albums.
Perhaps my favorite track on the album is "Living in the Past", a very hard-rocking soon to be classic to be that shows hints of Lemmy's deep raspiness found on "Orgasmatron" over 20 years ago.
On Kiss of Death, Motorhead came to play rock and roll, and they don't disappoint.
Highly recommended.

It's amazing how this band can keep pumping out classic albums. Lemmy is truely the most gifted lyricist in the last 30 years - his words are poetry. Motorhead never fails to deliver the goods!! Anyone disappointed with this should just go buy the new Justin Timberlake album and slit their wrists! Life Is Good - Lemmy is a Prophet!! Buy It Now!!

10 Brand New Tracks For 2000 By Lemmy And The Boys
Motorhead: Lemmy Kilmister (vocals, bass); Phil Campbell (guitar, background vocals); Mikkey Dee (drums).
Producers: Motorhead, Bob Kulick, Bruce Bouillet, Duane Barron.
Recorded at Karo Studios, Brackel, Germany between June & August 1999.
The '90s witnessed a surprising and somewhat overlooked renaissance for Lemmy Kilmister and Motörhead, starting with 1991's 1916. The follow-up, March or Die, was woefully subpar and overly commercial, and many dismissed 1916 as a fluke and gave the band up for dead. However, Motörhead then embarked on a run of quality albums for smaller, lower-profile labels; Bastards, Sacrifice, and Overnight ...

Like AC/DC, Motörhead rarely stray from their niche, crafting reliable records from a punk metal template that began in 1977 with their self-titled debut. Inferno is no exception, as the sum of its parts does little to deviate from the formula. Opening with the blistering "Terminal Show" -- marking the first of two appearances by guitar legend ...

$12.65
Amp - Amended Produc
Papa Roach: Tobin Esperance (vocals, guitar, bass guitar); Jerry Horton (vocals, guitar); Dave Buckner (vocals, drums); Jacoby Shaddix (vocals).
Getting Away with Murder offers Papa Roach fans more of the California combo's hard-hitting rage rock. Jacoby Shaddix (the name change stands) and crew have moved fully away from the rap rock blip that put them on the radar around the turn of the century. But they haven't lost their amplified intensity, nor the obsession with depressing, vaguely S&M-ish lyrics. (Example: "I'm a glutton for your punishment/You're the master/And I'm waiting for disaster") Production from Howard Benson and the mixing of Chris Lord-Alge ensure a crushingly compressed, radio-ready juggernaut, and the title track doesn't disappoint in that department. "Be Free" is also a standout, moving slightly away from the usual heavy mid-tempo sound for a scathing exploration of the ravages of alcoholism on Shaddix' tortured psyche. Fans of the Roach will certainly enjoy the loud, blustery Getting Away With Murder, even if it's not necessarily helping this fluxing genre through its growing pains. ~ Johnny Loftus
Howard Benson, Chris Lord-Alge, Papa Roach. It's gotten to the point where you can fill in the last name with another combo of mascara-eyed angry men jockeying for position in the bubbling ooze of the post-rap-rock (yes, that's a term) universe. Producer Benson and mixer Lord-Alge are professionals both, masters of compression and punching up the radio mix. This is what they offer Papa Roach -- a promise that the band's Getting Away with Murder will sound both raging and properly marketable. To that end, "Not Listening" rewrites the 2001 Roach hit "Last Resort" without the rap, while the big title-track single is built around a mechanistic Korn bass throb and a carnival funhouse lead guitar line. (The better to scare you with, see.) On the latter, Jacoby Shaddix (the name change ...
