Motörhead Music/UDR, EMI Label Services and Future Publishing are proud to announce an exciting new release schedule for the brand new studio album from the incomparable titans of rock — MOTÖRHEAD — preceded by the debut single from the album, “Born To Lose”.

In a thrilling new development, the U.K. release of “The Wörld Is Yours” will now be a two-fold affair. On December 14, following MOTÖRHEAD’s U.K. tour, a Classic Rock Presents Motörhead fan pack will hit news-stands across the country. This is a 132-page magazine featuring not only brand new interviews with the band alongside a complete career overview, but also the entire album on CD. It will retail at £14.99 and is the perfect way for U.K. fans to purchase the album in the run up to Christmas.

Following this four-week exclusive period, the album will then be released on January 17 in a standard CD format and available to buy in all usual retailers at the price of a regular CD. This follows the fantastic success earlier this year of the Slash fan pack, devoted to the debut solo album by Slash, which was a massive commercial success, selling 30,000 copies on the newsstands before the standard release saw Slash fly into the Top 10 of the U.K. album charts.

“The Wörld Is Yours” is a vital, scorching statement of intent from MOTÖRHEAD as they launch Motörhead Music, their very first record label. In a recent interview drummer Mikkey Dee stated about the band’s first venture into the record company business and MOTÖRHEAD’s U.K. tour, “We have really competent people running Motorhead Music, but unfortunately, this album is getting out a little late. It won’t even be out for the U.K. tour, which is a shame, but we are going to be playing two or three songs from the album as we don’t want the U.K. audience to miss out on it this year. We had been with out label for many years and they had been fantastic to us and we had full control, nothing we can complain over at all, not the slightest. But the whole company went under. The best people out of that company are now running the new deal. When we actually got going it was fantastic — everything went so easy, In fact, I’m surprised how easy it went.”

MOTÖRHEAD have never just been the best rock n roll band in the world. They’ve never just been the loudest. Or the hardest. Or the toughest. Or the bad-ass-est. No… MOTÖRHEAD are also a lifestyle. MOTÖRHEAD are a mindset, a belief, a way to live your life, a way to both survive and beat a society that sometimes seems intent on trying to grind you down. Which is why MOTÖRHEAD have chosen now, in what might be some of the most tense times in recent global history, to release a hell-raising, rebel-rousing rock’n'roll opus known as “The Wörld Is Yours”.

Written and performed by Lemmy Kilmister, Philip Campbell and Mikkey Dee in both Los Angeles, California and Wales, with production once again by Cameron Webb, “The Wörld Is Yours” serves to remind everyone that you should never stop questioning or critiquing a society that would surely chew you up and spit you if given half a chance. And with 10 soul-scorching testaments to the unbridled power this world-famous trio continually maintain, “The Wörld Is Yours” delivers some of the finest, most important Motörmusic yet.

On instant classics such as “Get Back In Line”, Kilmister thunders that “The way we are is not the way we used to be my friend,” and “We are trapped in luxury, starving on parole, no-one told us who to love, we have sold our souls,” whilst on “Brotherhood Of Man” Kilmister roars “You cannot hide the truth from me I know what?s in your heart, greed and jealousy each equal, all your days now dark.” And with the defiant, uproarious “Rock ‘N’ Roll Music”, Kilmister and Co. remind everyone that “rock and roll music is the true religion” and “rock and roll even gonna set you free, make the lame walk and the blind see.”

Recorded during the late spring, the album’s creation was thrown into turmoil by the poor health and sad eventual passing of Philip Campbell’s father; the situation dictated that Philip needed to be home during some of the scheduled recording time, so MOTÖRHEAD hired a studio in Wales where Campbell was able to continue working on ideas and record tracks whilst first Mikkey and Lemmy, and then just Lemmy, laid down the rest of the album in L.A. But being MOTÖRHEAD, nothing fazed them, and with “The Wörld Is Yours” the band have triumphed over adversity to produce an absolute stormer of an album.

I have to say iv’e never been a huge Motorhead fan, in my younger years I saw them blow out he ABC Cinema in Chester, bought in to the Overkill / Ace Of Spades, saw them around ten times in their ‘Classic‘ period (Including a ‘Home Town’ show for me in Wrexham, North Wales at The Racecourse in 1982) and I still own a signed copy of ‘No Sleep till… Hammersmith’ on Vinyl… but then music moved on and it seemed (to me) Motorhead did’nt… So tonight I head off to Mcr with some old friends, not really caring if I see the band or not… But… Fuck Me! How fuckin’ amazing are Motorhead…

From the minute they walk on stage and anounce ‘We Are Motorhead & We Play Rock N’ Roll’ they simply blow the roof off the newly re-named 02 and it’s as expected Loud! they ask the crowd if they want it louder, silly fuckers cheer! The band tear through plenty of material from over the years and I start to think iv’e been missing out, songs that are just a couple of years old are amazing ‘Just because you have the power’ stands out like a sore thumb and songs from their upcoming new album ‘The World Is Yours’ are spectacular, as good as anything rom that ‘Classic’ period…

They finish with ‘Ace’ of course… and then they come back out and play ‘Born to raise hell’ with Mike Monroe (former Hanoi Rocks Vox & special guest tonight) and just for this one song peformance alone I would have paid tonight, they finish off with the full version of Overkill and go…

I must also add that tonight I realised why gigs don’t look like gigs anymore… Par Fuckin’ Cans… banks of the fukers, above, below,behind, at the side… and when you watch these guys in full flow with that lighting, it looks just like gigs used to look and it’s simply stunning, fuck those robo scans and the modern computer lighting… keep it simple stupid and get back to what we used to do, what we used to love and why Rock n’ Roll still lights the fire to burn the world… and that world…is yours!
