"Snake Bite Love" is a powerful studio album by the legendary British rock band Motörhead, released in 1998. Presented here in CD format and produced by BMG Rights Mgmt GmbH, this record captures the raw energy and relentless drive that have defined Motörhead's sound for decades. The album features standout tracks like "Love for Sale," "Dogs of War," and the title track "Snake Bite Love," blending heavy metal with hard-hitting rock 'n' roll attitude. Motörhead, fronted by the iconic Lemmy Kilmister, are celebrated pioneers of heavy metal and speed metal genres. With classic albums such as "Ace of Spades" and multiple Grammy nominations under their belt, they have left an indelible mark on music history. BMG Rights Mgmt GmbH is a renowned music company known for its dedication to artists? rights and high-quality releases across various genres.
So, the sound hasn't changed one iota. We are still waiting for a supersonic and deafening assault, supported by the aggressive mood of the material and Lemmy's angry voice. About half of the tracks (one must admit the most impressive) are again devoted to all sorts of darkness and vices of our imperfect world. Like the mercenaries at war in the mercilessly energetic action movie "Dogs Of War", the bastard politicians in the insanely fast "Take The Blame" (by the way, a unique moment - for the first time in the history of Motörhead in this song instead of a guitar there is a keyboard (!!!) solo) , a battlefield strewn with corpses in the sad and depressive ballad "Dead And Gone", vampires, werewolves and other cute creatures in the horror action movie "Nightside", and, finally, just a very interesting philosophical text in the melodic composition "Joy Of Labor" . The remaining half, quite unexpectedly, is kept in the old rock and roll traditions, with riffs from Chuck Berry and tests from the Rolling Stones era. The exception is the cheerful title track "Snake Bite Love", with simply hilarious lyrics that make you laugh heartily. Thus, it turns out that almost all the material is made very well and of high quality. Of course, you won’t find any revelations from the times of “Overkill” or “Orgasmatron” here, but actually that’s not the main thing. The main thing is drive, and there is plenty of it.
