On April 9, 2002, MOTÖRHEAD released 'Hammered,' their fifteenth studio album. Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell, and Mikkey Dee delivered another slab of their trademark loud, fast, and uncompromising rock 'n' roll metal. While 'Hammered' was not considered among MOTÖRHEAD's finest work, it contained the vintage Lemmy swagger and unrelenting attitude that made the band one of the most beloved institutions in heavy music. Tracks like 'Brave New World' and 'Serial Killer' showcased the trio's raw power and Lemmy's unmistakable gravelly bass-and-vocal delivery. The album continued MOTÖRHEAD's remarkable work ethic — by 2002, they had been releasing albums and touring relentlessly for over twenty-five years. 'Hammered' represented yet another chapter in the MOTÖRHEAD saga, a band that never compromised, never slowed down, and never stopped being impossibly loud.
