Metal heads and punk fans, rejoice! There’s a new Motorhead tribute album that’s sure to rattle your eardrums.
The compilation — titled Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute to Motorhead — features covers of the legendary band’s songs by such notable punk bands as Rancid, Pennywise, The Bronx, FEAR, Lagwagon and more. The release also includes a never-before-released collaboration between Motorhead and The Damned on the latter’s “Neat Neat Neat,” which you can hear below.
In an accompanying press release, late Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister notes the relationship between his band and punk rock. “The punks loved us,” he remarked. “The only reason we weren’t in that lot was because we had long hair, so obviously we must be heavy metal. That was the thinking. But a lot of kids heard us without seeing a picture, so they thought we were a punk band.”
Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute to Motorhead will be released on October 31st and is available for pre-order on vinyl and CD now.
Among the 14 tracks, Pennywise deliver their rendition of “Ace of Spades,” while Rancid covers “Sex & Death.” The full track listing can be found below.
