Motörhead announce “Bad Magic”

Motörhead will celebrate their 40th year as a band with an equally huge feat: releasing their 22nd studio album. The speed metal group announced “Bad Magic” on their official site along with an August 28th release date.

Singer and bassist Lemmy Kilmister first indicated that the band would work on new material last September during an interview with a radio show. He revealed that they would “probably” enter the studio in January, though it was still tentative at the time. “We don't have a plan,” he explained. “Motörhead never has a plan.”

Kilmister and Co. also announced initial dates for their Anniversary European tour, which will take place this fall. 

The band's last album, 2013's “Aftershock”, was shrouded by Kilmister's heart condition that kept him off the road. They returned to touring in 2014 and launched the first annual Motörboat Cruise featuring fellow headliners Megadeth and Anthrax. The cruise will set sail again this September, featuring Anthrax and Slayer.
