Motörhead

Motörhead [ˈmoʊtərhɛd] were a rock band formed in London in 1975. Motörhead's music combined influences from punk, hard rock, rock 'n' roll and blues rock. Their influence on other musicians and bands was and is very large compared to their own commercial success.

Between 1979 and 1982 the band had their most commercially successful period. The albums from this period such as Overkill, Bomber (both 1979) and Ace of Spades (1980) are considered seminal for heavy metal and classics of the genre. Since the early 2000s, Motörhead has seen renewed popularity. The band's history was marked by numerous changes in the cast, management and record labels. Motörhead was signed to a total of 16 different labels. Since 1995, the group has remained active with Lemmy Kilmister (electric bass, vocals), Phil Campbell (electric guitar) and Mikkey Dee (drums). One day after Lemmy Kilmister's death on December 28, 2015, Mikkey Dee declared the end of the band.

It was characteristic of Motörhead that the electric bass took over the role of the rhythm guitar, making the timbre of the music significantly more bass-heavy than that of comparable groups like AC/DC. In appearance and in the lyrics, the group presented itself as "outlaws". Motörhead thus secured the sympathies of the punk scene of the late 1970s and served as a link between punk and heavy metal.
