Motorhead have confirmed that their 22nd studio album, called Bad Magic, will be released on August 28 via UDR Music/Motörhead Music.
The band also announced that to commemorate their 40th anniversary, they will embark on a European tour this fall, with more international dates to follow.
“After 40 years rattling teeth, bones and ears with their legendary rock’n’roll, you might excuse Motörhead if they wanted to ease off. Put their feet up. Relax a little. But that’s just it …this is Motörhead,” reads a press release. “And instead, Motörhead gleefully say a loud and hearty ‘bollocks’ to that sort of feeble-minded thinking with their 22nd studio album, Bad Magic."
The press release also states that Bad Magic “strides confidently into some of the earlier attitudes of Motörmusic.” The album was produced at NRG Studios with the band’s long-time producer Cameron Webb.
And here is the news we’ve all been waiting for … It’s official! We’re releasing our 22nd Studio Album “Bad Magic” on...
