Motorhead’s “Iron Fist” album will receive a 40th Anniversary deluxe reissue on September 23rd, 2022 via BMG. The once lost to history and recently rediscovered short film to support the album is streaming now! Originally cut to Gustav Holst’s ominous “Mars, Bringer Of War,” it now features the previously unreleased instrumental demo “Ripsaw Teardown” – a track on the reissue. Watch the trailer now!
Whilst the album was rudely dismissed by critics on release, it now reveals itself as a vital snapshot of the band at a crucial period. It followed the consecutive triumphs of Ace Of Spades and No Sleep Til Hammersmith, when the three-piece found themselves caught in the tornado of success, but in true Motörhead style, they careered into their next phase at such velocity it transcended logic or reason to become this trio’s final kamikaze joyride.
Forty years later, Iron Fist sounds like prime Motörhead with the gloves and seat-belts off. For sheer velocity, it could be fastest, most out-of-control of all their releases. To celebrate the anniversary it is being presented in new deluxe editions. There will be hardback book-packs in two CD and triple LP formats, featuring a hammer fist blow, remaster of the original album, previously unreleased demo bonus tracks and a full concert, originally broadcast on Radio Clyde from 18th March 1982. Plus the story of the album and many previously unseen photos. There’s also a limited edition, blue and black swirl of the original standalone album
