Eccoci ragazzi ad analizzare in anteprima il nuovo lavoro del nostro amato brufolone...ovvero Lemmy Kilmister che a 61 anni suonati riesce fare ancora album come Inferno e il qui recensito Kiss Of Death ora passiamo alla tracklist. Si comincia con la breve (per fortuna) Sucker che a dirla tutta non mi entusiasma, ma poi per fortuna che c'è la fresca e veloce One Night Stand che aggiusta non di poco il tiro dell'album poi a seguire c'è la tritasassi Devil I Know con un bel riffone in pieno style Hard Rock dei vecchi tempi.
Ora è il tempo d ascoltare il potenziale singolo ovvero Trigger una delle perle di quest'album abbellita ulteriormente da un ritornello veramente niente male è la classica canzone scatenante alla Motorhead. Poi è il tempo del riff blues di Under The Gun impreziosita da un'assolo niente male di Phil Campbell un altro ingrediente del muro heavy firmato Motorhead insieme all'ottimo e precisissimo Mikkey Dee.
Poi perdindirindina un'altra acustica! Lemmy ci ha preso gusto infatti è il tempo della maliconica God Was Never On Your Side.Che vede lo schema Strofa acustica-Ritornello elettrico-Strofa Acustica... bhe niente male, una lieve variazione nel sound motorheadiano che calca le orme della bella Whorehouse Blues dell'antecedente Inferno, con la voce di Lemmy meno gracchiante del solito, almeno nella strofa.
Dopo 4.21 di piccola sorpresa, ecco che il buon vecchio Lemmy ti riprende per le orecchie e ti mostra con la sua voce gracchiante chi sono i Motorhead con il riff tipicamente Heavy Metal di Living in the past, canzone carina si ma neanche tutto sto granchè, certo si fa ascoltare senza essere skippata ma non è neanche stò granchè, ma ora è il tempo di tornare ad un bel riff rock n roll, è il tempo d Christine! Canzone che scivola piacevolmente ma non è neint'altro è il preludio alla veloce e bella Sword Of Glory che sa molto di Motorhead ovvero di l'odore di tabacco e benzina! Poi è il momento di Be My Baby una traccia che serve solo ad allungare l'album non è affatto brutta è al classica canzone Motorhead, riffone pesante ma non in maniera eccessiva, veloce,voce gracchiante. Poi c'è Kingdom OF The Worm una delle canzoni che, insieme a Sucker, mi piacciono di meno in tutto l'album. Meno male che ad apparare c'è Going Down una bella canzone sul serio riffone veloce di Phil e grande lavoro dietro alle pelli dell'impeccabile Mikey Dee.

E così finisce Kiss Of Death. Bell'album alla Motorhead niente di più niente di meno penso che si sa a cosa si va incontro quando si mette nel lettore un album firmato Motorhead no? Bhe se proprio devo dire qualkosa lo giudico inferiore a Inferno anche se non di molto. Meriterebbe un 3 ma gli metto 4 perchè sarebbe bello arrivare a 60 anni e fare ancora album come questi

01   Sucker (02:59)

How we are, ain't how we were,
Innocence, is for the birds,
Now we are poison, and we don't care,
We have no shame, we strip you bare,
And you so precious, lost in smoke,
Too busy laughing, to see the joke.

Nobody knows if you won or you lost,
Into the palace or up on the cross,
Into the gravy or into the ground,
We just don't want you around,
Sucker

What we want, ain't what we get,
Rags to riches, ain't working yet,
For we are monsters, we love our work,
Raise your voice, you bite the dirt,
And you so patient, lost in dreams,
Too busy crying, to hear the screams.

Nobody cares if you lost or you won,
In with the girlies or under the gun,
Into the sunshine or under the blade,
We gonna dance on your grave,
Sucker

What we do, is break the law,
We tasted blood and we want more,
For we are murder, we like it fine,
No quarter, we draw the line,
And you so gracious, lost in time,
Too busy killing, to see the crime

Love it or hate it, you're gonna pay,
All of us here, gonna ruin your day,
Into the palace or into the pit,
We think you're just full of shit.

Nobody cares if you're in or you're out,
We're gonna give you a smack in the mouth,
Whether you go or whether you stay,
I guess it just ain't your day,
Sucker

02   One Night Stand (03:05)

03   Devil I Know (03:00)

Stand up for the cause,
Lay down for the law,
You know what your claw is for,
Far as you can spit,
Don't knock on my door,
You ain't welcome no more,
I might be a dog,
But honey, you're a bitch.

Ain't gonna change a thing,
Ain't gonna change my ways,
I don't care where you've been,
I don't care where you go,
Going back to the devil I know.

Stand up for the count,
Hold up and dismount,
I know what my feet are for,
I know when to quit,
Don't come around my house,
Or I'll put you out,
It might sound harsh,
But I'm done flicking your switch.

Ain't gonna change a thing,
Ain't gonna change my ways,
I don't care where you've been,
I don't care where you go,
Going back to the devil I know, Hey.

Stand up for your life,
Lay down for the knife,
I know what that smile is for,
Hard as I been hit,
I can't be your lover,
So go find another,
It might sound cold,
But I'm done digging your ditch.

Ain't gonna change a thing,
Ain't gonna change my ways,
I don't care where you've been,
I don't care where you go,
Going back to the devil I know.

04   Trigger (03:53)

Running through the darkness,
Won't do you no good to flee,
Stalking through the golden state,
Who's bitch do you want to be,
Can't run, can't hide,
Gonna get you wait and see,

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird,
I'm crazy
Now feel your backbone shiver,
Lucky thing for you babe I'm so lazy,
But I'm gonna pull your trigger.

Look over your shoulder,
And all the windows too,
Bow down to the golden calf,
Which bitch is the one for you,
What you need is extra speed,
Cause I'm gonna hit on you,

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird,
I'm crazy
Now feel your backbone shiver,
Lucky thing for you babe I'm so lazy,
But I'm gonna pull your trigger.

Know you can't stop,
Move it on over,
But that's another story,
Cause I knew your mama

Out here in the city,
Just half a mile behind,
Searching for the golden rose,
Which bitch would you like to find,
You can't run forever,
And you're still on my mind.

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird,
I'm crazy
Now feel your backbone shiver,
Lucky thing for you babe I'm so lazy,
But I'm gonna pull your trigger.

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird,
I'm crazy
Now feel your backbone shiver,
Lucky thing for you babe I'm so lazy,
But I'm gonna pull your trigger.

08   Christine (03:42)

Hear her coming, 'bout 5 miles away,
That girl is something, know she gonna make my day,
Ah, She sure is fine, real good friend of mine,
I just wanna jump her bones all the time,
See her walking, she knows all the moves,
Fortune cookie, stand your toes up in your shoes,
Oh you can't believe, what she got up her sleeve,
Likes me fine, and that's just fine with me,

Christine, I'm going out of my mind, Like to drive me wild,
Red hot mama ain't no lie, So glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over & do it again, Just like a bad girl should.

She moves like a rattlesnake made out of razorblades,
That girl can't help it, just the way she's made,
I would run all around the world, Just to see that girl,
She sure loves playing with the Ace of Spades.

Christine, I'm going out of my mind, Like to drive me wild,
Red hot mama ain't no lie, So glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over & do it again, Just like a bad girl should.

Christine, I'm going out of my mind, Like to drive me wild,
Red hot mama ain't no lie, So glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over & do it again, Just like a bad girl should.

Christine, see her walking, se her walking
My, my
Christine, I just wanna jump her bones,
She's my baby.

09   Sword of Glory (03:57)

10   Be My Baby (03:40)

Make out, make out, you must run,
Divide & rule, more & more
Say the word, hardcore, hardcore

You live your life, behind your eyes,
You got no life, no disguise,

Be my baby, I ain't gonna cry
Shut your mouth, wanna do the dog,
Sex with needles, gonna get you off
Outlaw, outlaw, no ma'am, no way
Damn shame, I'll say, I'll say
Going to a freak show, to take my pain away.

Breakout, breakout, You must dance,
Divide & fall, more & more,
Save the world, high score, high score,

You live your life, behind the wall,
You got no life, not at all.



Be my baby, I ain't gonna cry
Shut you down, wanna do the dog,
Sex with monsters, gonna get you off
Outlaw, Outlaw, no ma'am, no way
Turn me down, damn shame, I'll say
Going to a gun show, to take my brain away.

Fake out, fake out, you can't leave,
Divide & stall, more & more,
Say the word, webcore, webcore,

You crawl with life, behind your face,
You got no life, no disgrace,

Be my baby, I ain't gonna die
Stay right there, wanna do the dog,
Sex with killers, ain't gonna get them off
Outlaw, Outlaw, no man, no way
Turn me down, damn shame, I'll say
Going to a gun show, to take my shame away.

11   Kingdom of the Worm (04:08)

You remember, You remember me, yes,
I remember what we are, I remember only scars,
I remember only stars, I remember hell and mother,
I have seen the eye of god, Youth trust gone forever.

See only the master, risen, risen,
After all the silence, all of him laughing
After all the strangers, beaten, driven,
Try to place all things, in a certain rhythm
Do as the book told you see the pages torn,
Make the spell upon them, in human form,
So we come to call it, the great & awesome dance,
Do you see before you, the Kingdom of Romance.

You remember, You remember his face,
You remember what I am, I remember only weeping,
I remember only sleeping, I remember tearing flesh,
I can only taste the devil, Your tears when you cry,

Wasted with the children, singing just a hymn,
You can hear them only, crying, crying,
After all the horses gallop to fathom,
Try to fell under you, spine of the dragon,


Do as you consider, writhe & spin alarm,
Spell tricky magic, nails for your savior,
So we bravely gather, though we moan with dread,
Do you see before you, the Kingdom of the Dead.

Can I remember, I remember you, no,
Can I remember gold, I remember silver eyes,
I remember silver skies, I remember awesome pain
I can hear the horse in darkness, Only he dreams of glory.

Standing at the edge of all, Looking down at last,
Can you see the others, running, running,
All the horses burning, sinking, dying,
Do you feel destiny or are you lying,
Do what you were made for, all must endure,
Soon the door closes, for good or evil,
Are you the ice queen or do you want to burn,
Here see before you, the Kingdom of the Worm

Kingdom of Romance... Kingdom of the Dead...
Kingdom of the Worm... All Men Must Suffer...

 Se dei nonnetti come i Motorhead sono ancora in grado di scrivere album vari e metal fino all'osso, possiamo dormire sonni tranquilli.

 Phil Campbell, molto sottovalutato per me, sarà il vero protagonista del disco.
