Motörhead

End of Time

Release Date:  2013

By Pitchfork

Reviewed October 10, 2013

Aside from the band's awesomely iconic frontman Lemmy Kilmister, Motörhead has gone through several lineup changes in their almost 40 years as a band. But one thing that's remained solidly consistent for the majority of their career is their muscular, instantly identifiable sound. From "Ace of Spades" to the entrance music they did for Triple H, their songs are defined by intimidation and Lemmy's gravelly voice, by their breakneck pace and "fuck off" attitude. "End of Time" from their upcoming 21st studio album Aftershock doesn't stray far from their tried and true formula: There's an enormous riff, huge-sounding guitars, a ferocious drive, and tons of muscle. It's a song that worthily stands up to their hits. Put simply, Motörhead are still really good at being Motörhead.
