The release year of 1979 also found this beingĪ fitting headstone of the world of Disco music. There was nothing subtle about Motorhead as a band and the music on this album celebrated that fact. Favorites on the album include "Stay Clean" and of course the title track as well as "No Class" and "Metropolis". Overkill is filled with a number of classics that still remain a part of the bands set to this very day and the band's playing was growing tighter with each album. I think this combination of straight forwardness and power met the level ofĪppeal that it did purely because it was never masked as anything other than what it was. Those who were fans in the beginning realize that the band was never Metal, but more fast-paced and thunderous Rock and Roll in the purest form.
Cited by the band's founder as "we are simply a Blues band that plays their music at 1000 miles per hour" the wheels were officially in motion as Motorhead began to dominate the building Heavy Rock scene. Motorhead's 1979 release of Overkill was going to be the album that found Lemmy, Philthy and Fast Eddie coming into their own unique sound and execution of their music. The jewel cases are slip-cased and include full-color booklets that are packed with topical information on the release as well as photos and notes from the time of the album's release. The two CD sets come with the original album remastered, along with a second CD that is loaded with bonus and unreleased tracks. To celebrate the band's 30 year career, Sanctuary Records is re-issuing expanded and remastered versions of some of their best albums.
