Motörhead announce 20th anniversary edition of “Kiss of Death”

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”—their 18th studio album—picks up exactly where 2004’s Inferno left off. It’s Motörhead doing what they do best: loud, fast, and relentless.

Leaning into the heavier edge of their sound, the album also 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 Classic Rock’s Dave Ling paying tribute to the contribution of the legendary Phil Campbell following his recent sad passing. It also includes an exclusive bonus live LP, capturing the band’s 2007 performance at Lowlands Festival in Biddinghuizen, the 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 official lyric video for “God Was Never On Your Side“, created by Andy Pilkington, alongside a sneak peek of “Killed by Death” from the Lowlands performance – out now on all streaming platforms.

Album pre-order is available here.
