Strap in and enjoy a super-slice of what MOTÖRHEAD‘s forthcoming “Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin” will be offering, with the single and video for “Rock It”. Hailing from the band’s sixth studio album (1983’s “Another Perfect Day”), “Rock It” combines the drive, balls, roar, groove and bluesy swagger which underscores the core Motörsound, and, combined with the accompanying visceral live footage, courtesy of filmmaker Herwig Meyszner, fans will enjoy a robust re-blast of the live MOTÖRHEAD experience.

Featuring Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, “Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin” is a crowning, definitive statement as to the power the trio had long held. Theirs was a lineup which had spent decades cracking sound barriers, bending ears and decimating lawns worldwide, consistently delivering the Motörgospel to hundreds of thousands of fans, and this lineup was MOTÖRHEAD‘s longest serving by a considerable distance (Phil joined in 1984, Mikkey in 1992, and the band played as a trio from 1995 until the band’s final show in 2015).
Throughout “Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin” their powerful synergy boots its way through the speakers with the boisterous charm and dirty, dangerous, sweaty gusto that was the Kilmister/Campbell/Dee trademark. From the unapologetically furious “I Know How to Die“ to a deliciously raucous “Going To Brazil“, “Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin” is all about the thick, raw and liberating power of MOTÖRHEAD live, with longtime producer Cameron Webb bringing his mixing skills to the party as well as doing a 5.1 mix of the DVD. Further highlights include a favorably feral “Rock It”, a rudely raunchy “You Better Run“ and a classic one-two haymaker of “Ace Of Spades“ and “Overkill”. The leading track from the album will be a cranium-cracking “Over The Top“, a song which must be as close to definitive of this band as you’ll ever find.
The whole night was captured by Herwig Meyszner, who has also produced concert films for the likes of SAXON, EXODUS and KREATOR, with a multi-camera no-shot-missed shoot that captures not just the energy onstage but the energy on the floor. In so many ways, “Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin” is a joyous celebration of Lemmy, Phil, Mikkey and this special night in Germany, and whether a collector completist or newbie to MOTÖRHEAD‘s music, “Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin” is a welcome reminder of what real rock ‘n’ roll is truly about.
