Motorhead have announced that their 22nd album will be called Bad Magic – and it’ll be released on August 28.
The announcement follows a series of teasers from the band over recent days and a statement accompanying the news says the record will be “bristling with thunderous attitude, pioneering spirit and some of the fiercest rhythms and riffs that’ll beat your ears into submission this year.”
Bad Magic, which will feature a cover of Rolling Stones classic Sympathy For The Devil, is now available to pre-order on CD, limited-edition box set, Digipak and vinyl.
Lemmy and co will also head out on a winter tour to mark their 40th anniversary. They’ve announced several European dates so far, with more to be added in due course.
They’ll play Glastonbury next month after a headline slot at Truro’s Eden Sessions. They’ll also set sail on the second Motorboat cruise in September.
