Kiss of Death is the title of the eighteenth studio album by the British heavy metal band Motörhead, released on August 29, 2006 via Sanctuary Records. The follow-up to 2004's Inferno, it was produced by Cameron Webb, as was their previous studio album.
A new Motörhead track, entitled "Kingdom of the Worm", received its world premiere on Friday, May 19 during Motörhead mainman Lemmy's appearance on the "Jonesy's Jukebox" radio show on Indie 103.1 FM.
The album reached #4 in Germany marking Motörhead's highest entry ever in the German charts.
Reviews
A review on Drowned in Sound suggests that Motörhead are not a band that focuses on innovation and progression and that they are happy doing more of the same and their fans are more than happy to receive it, this album being no exception. Otherwise the review notes the tracks as "twelve slices of good old-fashioned, foot-stomping, fist-pumping rock ‘n’ roll" and warns not assume that the album is boring as the band still manage to "slay most of the shit out there" and reminds us that "Motörhead are living hard-rock legends". Continuing, the review states the lyrics are as entertaining as ever and that with Lemmy's style of singing, coupled with a "plethora of insanely catchy twelve-bar riffs that most bands would happily die for," the album is yet another timeless Motörhead classic.[1]
