Legendary hard rock band Motorhead has finished recording its new album, entitled "Motörize", due before the end of the year via SPV Records. The follow-up to 2006's "Kiss of Death" was recorded at Foo Fighters frontman/ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Northridge, California.
"Kiss of Death" entered the national album charts in the following countries: Germany: #4, Norway: #9, Sweden: #13, Austria: #20, Switzerland: #26, U.K.: #45, Denmark: #53. The CD was recorded at the Paramount studios in Los Angeles with Cameron Webb, who also worked with the group on 2004's "Inferno". The album includes guest appearances by POISON guitarist C.C. Deville and Alice In Chains bassist Mike Inez.
As previously reported, the life and career of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister is being celebrated in a new documentary, tentatively titled "
Lemmy" and slated for release in 2009.
The film promises fans more access than ever before to Kilmister's life, and includes interviews with past and present bandmates and such peers/admirers as Slash, Dave Grohl, The Clash's Mick Jones, Alice Cooper, Steve Vai and wrestling superstar Triple H.
Directors/producers Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski (both of whom have contributed to Billboard) are shooting the film on a combination of HD video and super 16 mm film. Other giants from the world of metal and hard rock will appear in the film as well, with details to be announced. "We haven't heard the word 'no' yet after any interview request," Olliver says.
Watch a "teaser" for the movie at this location.
