This Day in Metal

27 JUN

1981

On June 27, 1981, MOTÖRHEAD released their fourth studio album No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith through Bronze Records — their only album to reach number one on the UK charts. Recorded live across six dates in March 1981 during the Short Sharp Pain in the Neck Tour, the album captures the classic "Motörhead, Fast Eddie Clarke, and Phil Taylor" lineup at the absolute peak of their live power. The recording's raw, uncompromising energy made it one of the finest live albums in rock and metal history: barely edited, barely mixed, and utterly devastating. "Ace of Spades," "Overkill," "Bomber," and "Iron Horse" take on a ferocious, almost violent immediacy in the live setting that the studio recordings cannot replicate. No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith is the definitive document of why MOTÖRHEAD were uniquely great — and remains required listening for anyone who cares about the raw, unfiltered essence of heavy metal.
