Celebrating their 40th anniversary as rock n’ roll’s undisputed rebels, musical badass icons MOTÖRHEAD will appear on this weekend’s edition of VH1 Classic’s “That Metal Show,” airing this Saturday, March 7^th at 9pm/8pm Central and featuring Lemmy, Phil and Mikkey of MOTÖRHEAD as the honored Metal Modem guests via remote video. Make sure to tune in to what’s guaranteed to be one hell of a time, and for more information on the show, please click here. 

 

MOTÖRHEAD are currently in the recording studio with longtime producer Cameron Webb working on their upcoming album, which we can look forward to in fall of this year. The revered trio will support the Foo Fighters on tour this July in Japan and Korea (including a stop at the longest-standing music fest in Japan, the Fuji Rock Festival on July 24th, and the Ansan Valley Rock Festival in South Korea on July 26th) in addition to mounting their own U.S. tour for late summer 2015.

 

 

And the annual tradition continues as the band will set sail on the MOTÖRHEAD Motörboat cruise in late September. Last year, an international, multi-generational audience from over 30 countries came together to celebrate the legacy of the cruise’s iconic namesake and escape into five days of the true no-holds-barred, rock’n’roll lifestyle! Last year’s Motörboat cruise treated  Motörboaters to unforgettable shows from MOTÖRHEAD themselves plus more than 30 performances by 15 artists including Anthrax, Testament, Down, Zakk Wylde and High On Fire across four stages throughout the ship; as though that weren’t enough, there was also a meet and greets with all of the artists, a book signing with Megadeth‘s David Ellefson, a spoken word performance by Anthrax’s Scott Ian, an artist Q&A hosted by Jim Breuer, and some special rockin’ from the Metal Allegiance featuring a slew of musicians from the bands on board.

 

 

And here’s a sample of what the press had to say about  Motörhead’s Motörboat 2014:

 

“Anthrax, Lemmy Kilmister, hundreds of metalheads and a naked, inflatable doll make the Motörboat cruise completely unforgettable…Motörboat brought heavy metal to the high seas and featured a previously unseen combination of gambling, belly-flopping, shirtlessness, guitar soloing and even yoga.” ~ Dana Yavin, RollingStone.com, September 29, 2014

 

“The Motörhead Motorboat Cruise may have lost Megadeth, but they gained something even more star-studded in the form of Metal Allegiance. The all-star jam was the talk of the Motorboat Cruise,  as a who’s who of metal musicians ripped through a number of classic metal and rock favorites.” ~ Liz Ramanand, Loudwire.com, September 30, 2014

 

“The stage setup of the cruise allowed fans an up-close experience with their favorite metal masters. And most artists could be spotted mingling amongst the other passengers, with very little–if any–crazed fanaticism.” ~ Brigette Supernova, Examiner.com, September 29, 2014

If last year’s cruise, concerts, and tours (including their highly-regarded Coachella 2014 performance, which garnered honors like Rolling Stone’s “50 Best Things @ Coachella” and OC Weekly’s “The Best of Coachella”) are any indication, MOTÖRHEAD has no intention of slowing down, tempering their well-earned rock-n-roll swagger, or doing anything but what they do best:  being one motherfuckin’, balls to the wall band.

 

Proving itself much more than just a stellar addition to the band’s legendary catalogue, MOTÖRHEAD’s most recent release, Aftershock, is widely considered one of the best musical releases of the last few years. Aftershock marked MOTÖRHEAD’s biggest selling first week and highest U.S. chart debut numbers to date. In addition, Aftershock’s  single “Heartbreaker” was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category, marking the band’s fourth Grammy nomination (in 2005, they won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance for the track “Whiplash”).

 

 

You can order Aftershock now in Limited Edition Digipack format via Amazon. The album is also available in regular CD format and vinyl (gatefold – 180-Gram Single LP).
