Onslaught Covers Bömber

OK... this is kick a$$! Onslaught, the thrash metal legends from Bristol, England have released a cover of Motörhead's 'Bomber' prior to unveiling their forthcoming CD/album (number five), 'Sounds Of Violence'.


The single will also include the title track from the new CD/album 'Sounds Of Violence'.


Lead guitarist Nige Rockett was recently interviewed by Blabbermouth. Rockett was quoted as saying "Motörhead have always been a huge influence on Onslaught".



Rockett added "We've given it a pretty aggressive Onslaught slant and thrashed it up little, but still very much retaining the original identity of the song".


To spice things up a bit and make things a little more interesting, the band added two very special guests to sit in on the recording.


Yup, Phil Campbell was asked to add his unique sound to the mix and laid down a pretty awesome riff for the new tune!


Sodom lead singer Tom Angelripper shared the vocal duties with Onslaught's Sy  Keeler. Rockett says "He laid down some great f#cking vocals, as you will hear, and it's really added something special to the final result."


'Sounds Of Violence' is set to be released in the U.K. 01/28/2011 and in North America 02/08/2011.


They just posted the 'Bomber' video and it features Phil and Angelripper tearing it up. Love what Phil has to say about his payment for his involvement in the song.


Hats off to the boys, that cover is worth adding to any metal collection if I say so myself... and I say so, MOFO!

Merry Megadethmas

Check it. I found these killer Christmas cards on Megadeth's Facebook page. The band held a contest, awarding prizes for the best cards. Here are the top 3 cards.

They're frickn' awesome!


Here's the 2010 Megadeth Christmas Card winner, 1st placeScott Zelazny.


Love it! Scott wins a phone call from 'Disgruntled Dave M' on Christmas Day! And two meet 'n greet passes to meet Megadeth on tour.

(check out the red Christmas ball)

Theses last two are killer as well! Wow, some talented offerings from Mega-fans! You know, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to receiving one of these cards in the mail. Merry Megadethmas indeed!

'The World is Yours'

'The World is Yours' will finally be released to the rest of the world January 25, 2011. The album is produced by Motörhead and Cameron Webb under the label, Motörhead Music/EMI Music Services.


Shortly after the band began recording the album in late spring, Phil Campbell's father died. Lemmy and Mikkey decided to rent a studio in Wales, to allow Phil to stay close to his family and continue working on the album.



Lemmy and Mikkey then laid down the rest of the voice, bass and drum tracks in Los Angeles. Yup... after 35 years, not much can keep this band down.


For those Canuckleheads who would like to pre-order, or want to buy it for that special someone on their Christmas wish list, Amazon has it for sale.


The album, which is alreay available in the UK, was reviewed by James Green Jr. of Crawdaddy Magazine.
Here's the track listing. 'TWIY' has 10 new songs and word has it, 'Get Back in Line' is a killer track... one many are saying is an 'instant classic'!

1.Born To Lose
2.I Know How To Die
3.Get Back In Line
4.Devils In My Head
5.Rock ‘n’ Roll Music
6.Waiting For The Snake
7.Brotherhood Of Man
8.Outlaw
9.I Know What You Need
10.Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye

Lemmy - 'Ace of Spades' Voice Track

You may have already heard this but a good buddy sent it to me to remind me, just how much I löve Motörhead!

This is the original voice track for the song the 'Ace of Spades'.

What amazes me is the fact Lemmy did in one take! Just have a listen and take note of the intensity in his voice. His timing and the way he hits his notes (albeit with a raspy hellion furry). It's full bore, guns-a-blazing, take no prisoners Lemmy... right to the end of the track!

Phucken awesome!
