Style: tumultuous roaring heavy speed metal
the defining speed metal record has exploded with unparalleled fury back in 1980: sharp intense guitar riffs and straightforward rhythmics underpin monumental vocalist/bassist Lemmy, whose blooded-throat yet honest roar enhances the trio's bludgeoning aggression, while snarling attitude and memorable choruses forever guarantee the Englishmen an immense success, embodying a no-nonsense, hard-hitting ethos that resonated deeply with fans and musicians alike; mind-numbingly basic and deafeningly loud, Motörhead exemplified hard rock's outlaw chic with these twelve cuts, influencing a generation of bands to push the envelope in terms of aggression, speed, and lyrical defiance, eventually expanding to the level of immortality!; essential European re-issue comes with a remastered sound and three bonuses, including Girlschool Emergency cover among them
