Motörhead "Bad Magic (Digipak)"

Bad Magic is the 22nd and final studio album by the band Motörhead released on 28 August 2015, and is the fifth release under the UDR GmbH / Motörhead Music collaboration of the previous five years.

Due to the death of founder Lemmy Kilmister four months after the album's release, the band disbanded after 40 years on the road. Surviving members Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee stated to numerous media that the band was finished.

"When the Sky Comes Looking for You" was the only song from this album to be played live. In 2016, the album received an ECHO Award nomination for Best Rock/Alternative International, but eventually lost to Iron Maiden's The Book of Souls.

Bad Magic was written and recorded in L.A., and Cameron Webb again produced the album. In an interview Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee told the press that the recording process was different than previously:

"..this time we were in a recording studio writing the album and all playing it together, actually. Before, we used to be in a rehearsal studio, write the songs and then we'd go in and record it one at a time, but here we kind of recorded it live, right away, as we had the song. We used to write very spontaneous, and this is probably even more spontaneous than any [previous] Motörhead [album]. But we really do enjoy the album. And it's a very live, very spontaneous record. I think that works best for us.."

Later Lemmy said the whole album was not recorded live, but they:

"..did about five tracks all together, so that much is true.."

"Bad Magic " is available as a jewel case CD, Limited Ecolbook Edition, LP in gatefold sleeve (plus CD and digital download) and as a strictly limited collector's box with LP,CD , A1 - Poster, large back-patch and sleeve patch.
