Inferno  by Motorhead

Motorhead return in 2004 with Inferno, one of the heaviest albums of their career. In order to record Inferno, the band rented a studio for rehearsals, wrote the songs in six weeks, and after a one-week break, they returned and recorded them while the compositions were still fresh.

The album's producer was Cameron Webb, with whom Motorhead collaborated for the first time. The idea for the collaboration started with the producer himself, who suggested making a very heavy album together. This enraged Lemmy as he considered that Motorhead played rock 'n' roll and not heavy metal (!) The conflicts continued in the studio as Lemmy did not agree with how the songs sounded due to his hearing loss (!) Eventually, a way was found to agree and everything had a happy ending, as Cameron Webb remained the producer of all other Motorhead albums until 2015. The "explosive" cover of the album was once again the work of Joe Petagno. Steve Vai with his guitar participates in two songs, Terminal Show and Down on Me. The big surprise of Inferno is the last song of the album, Whorehouse Blues, which is a country-blues song, whose sound is far removed from the group's known style.

Inferno reached No. 95 on the UK charts, while the corresponding position in Germany was tenth.
