Brand New Video For MOTÖRHEAD’s 1998 Cover Of METALLICA Classic ‘ENTER THE SANDMAN’

Posted on by JL

9 May 2023

Noise titans MOTÖRHEAD and METALLICA were friends for a very long time. The latter played on Lemmy’s 50th birthday concert in 1995 all dressed up as the great man himself, under the moniker of The Lemmys. In turn, Motörhead paid homage to some of Metallica’s best known exploits, even winning a Grammy for their version of Whiplash in 2004.

Lemmy‘s gang also covered their 1991 classic ENTER THE SANDMAN in 1998.
That version was part of a compilation that didn’t reach many fans of both bands.

The Motörhead curators decided to give the iconic cover the attention it deserves
with a brand new video for it produced by Mulberry Creative. It’s an animated one,
showing a horrifying nocturnal journey through the nightmares of a child who is
haunted by the evil sandman in his dreams, and is ultimately saved by the powers
of the inimitable Motörhead ‘Warpig’.

Metal Titans METALLICA Crash Concrete Walls With Their New Cast Iron Album ’72 SEASONS’

Standout longplayers

14 April 2023

Metal titans METALLICA released their 11th LP,
baptized 72 SEASONS today. Order info here.

Hatfield (voice/guitarist) “The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents.
A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception
of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these
childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we
carry.”

NME: “The hard rock veterans roll back the years to deliver a thrilling sonic onslaught – including their longest ever song… The whole album roars past in an unremitting and intense 77 minutes, pausing only for a few moments of in-studio banter recorded for posterity. There are no ballads here, just speed demon anthems purpose built for mosh pits, bedrooms, car journeys and anywhere else you choose to head-bang.” Score: 4/5.

TUTV: Guess what, I never was a big Metallica fan (too macho, too many times the same old tricks) but (you knew a but was coming) with this thunder-and-lighting loaded album I’m headbanging and playing air guitar like a real M fanatic. I never thought these old master-billionaire-puppets would have still that much ear-crushing energy in their tank.
It’s a cast iron album you can crash concrete walls with. 12 ballbreakers, 72 seasons. Hallelujah!
