Motörhead’s “Kiss Of Death” Album Gets 20th Anniversary Expanded Reissue

Originally released in 2006, Kiss of Death is a ferocious reminder of Motörhead‘s uncompromising, no-frills spirit, and a timely nod to the legendary status they’ve earned as one of the greatest bands of all time. Driven by Lemmy‘s unmistakable growl, backed by Phil Campbell‘s blistering guitar work and Mikkey Dee‘s razor-sharp precision drumming, Kiss of Death picks up exactly where 2004’s Inferno left off. It’s Motörhead doing what they do best: loud, fast, and relentless. The album leans into the heavier edge of the trio’s sound and features guest appearances from Mike Inez (Alice in Chains) and C.C. DeVille (Poison), and delivers standout cuts like Sucker, Trigger and the fan-favourite God Was Never On Your Side.

Marking its 20th anniversary, this new edition sees the album newly half-speed mastered from the original tapes, with fresh liner notes from Dave Ling paying tribute to the contribution of the legendary Phil Campbell following his recent sad passing. It also includes an exclusive bonus live album, capturing the band’s 2007 performance at Lowlands Festival in Biddinghuizen, Netherlands, available on vinyl for the first time. The CD edition features three additional bonus tracks. To celebrate the release, there’s also a brand new lyric video for God Was Never On Your Side, created by Andy Pilkington. The 20th anniversary edition of Kiss of Death will be released on the 3rd July and can be pre-ordered on double CD and vinyl here.
