Kiss of Death (Motörhead album)

Kiss of Death is the eighteenth studio album by British rock band Motörhead, released on 29 August 2006 via Steamhammer, their ninth with the label.

As Joel McIver noted in his 2011 Motörhead memoir Overkill: The Untold Story of Motörhead: "'God Was Never on Your Side' showcases Lemmy's lyrical doom-mongering as never before; 'Kingdom of the Worm' — the album's lead single — was an acerbic commentary on the modern world; and one song, the ponderous 'Going Down,' was co-authored by Campbell's son Todd.

"Kingdom of the Worm" received its world premiere on Friday, 19 May, during Lemmy's appearance on the "Jonesy's Jukebox" radio show on Indie 103.1 FM.

But Lee Marlow of Classic Rock, on 'Sword of Glory", said Lemmy's ability to wring fresh poignancy from the idiocy of war and its mark on history has long been one of Motörhead's sharpest weapons."

All tracks are written by Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell, Mikkey Dee except where notedCredits adapted from the album's liner notes.
