Motörhead Issue “Built For Speed” Animated Lyric Video From “Orgasmatron” 40th Anniversary Edition

Next up in the 40th anniversary celebration, Orgasmatron shifts into top gear with Built For Speed, the second single from Cameron Webb‘s brand-new remix of the whole album, created from the original multi-tracks. A full-throttle Motörhead classic and live staple, Built For Speed does exactly what it says on the tin: huge riffs, Lemmy‘s unmistakable bass and vocals, and a relentless charge from start to finish. The track is accompanied by an animated lyric video was created by Lee Gregory at ILoveMotion.

Released in 1986, Orgasmatron featured the line-up of Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Würzel and Pete Gill. It marked a new chapter for the band, pushing further into heavier territory while retaining the speed, aggression and raw energy that had defined Motörhead from the beginning. The album’s production was the subject of much discussion among the band and their fans, but beneath it was a formidable collection of songs. Orgasmatron, Deaf Forever and Built For Speed became key parts of the Motörhead live repertoire, while the album’s combination of hard rock, heavy metal and punk influences gave it a character all of its own. Four decades on, Orgasmatron has taken its place as one of the most distinctive and respected records in the Motörhead catalogue. Now, 40 years after its original release, Orgasmatron is revisited in a new anniversary edition that explores both the album itself and the story behind its creation. The original studio recordings have been remastered for the anniversary and cut at half speed from the original tapes, while longtime Motörhead collaborator Cameron Webb has created a brand-new remix and remaster from the original stems. The Orgasmatron 40th Anniversary Edition can be pre-ordered as a deluxe triple album bookpack and double CD, featuring the remastered original mix, the Cameron Webb Remix, additional studio rehearsals and outtakes recorded in 1985, and the complete BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show session from 1986, capturing the band during the Orgasmatron era. The 40th anniversary edition is also available as a single vinyl pressing on transparent violet vinyl, featuring the original studio album.
