Motörhead Roars Back: 20th Anniversary of 'Kiss Of Death' Unleashes Live Fury

By Jason
Get ready to relive the raw energy of Motörhead with their newly expanded anniversary edition, featuring a blistering live performance from Lowlands Festival 2007.

In a thunderous celebration of its unapologetic legacy, Motörhead is set to unleash a 20th anniversary edition of their iconic album 'Kiss Of Death'. The centerpiece of this explosive re-release is the previously unreleased live rendition of 'Be My Baby', captured during the band's feral 2007 performance at the revered Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands. Fans can now feast their eyes on a visualizer that encapsulates the raw power of this legendary show.

Originally unleashed in 2006, 'Kiss Of Death' stands as a testament to Motörhead's relentless ethos—loud, fast, and ferocious. With Lemmy's growl cutting through the mix like a chainsaw, Phil Campbell shredding with his signature flair, and Mikkey Dee delivering precision drumming that could wake the dead, the album picks up the mantle from its predecessor, 'Inferno'. This is Motörhead at their peak, doing what they do best: obliterating expectations.

Marking two decades since its original release, this anniversary edition features a pristine half-speed mastering from the original tapes, ensuring that every riff and growl resonates with the depth and clarity that fans crave. Notably, the release comes with heartfelt liner notes from Classic Rock’s own Dave Ling, paying homage to the late Phil Campbell, whose contributions to the band remain indelible.

But that’s not all—this reissue also includes an exclusive bonus live LP, showcasing the band’s high-octane set from Lowlands, now available on vinyl for the first time. The CD edition is beefed up with three additional bonus tracks, ensuring that every die-hard fan gets their fill of Motörhead’s unyielding spirit.

As we gear up for this monumental release, let’s take a moment to appreciate the tracklisting that has become the soundtrack of generations. From 'Sucker' to 'Aces Of Spades', each track is a battle cry for all that is heavy and true. Head over to imotorhead.com for the full details and prepare to crank it up to eleven.
