New MOTÖRHEAD Song Featured In VANS’ Rowley Pro Lite Commercial
A new MOTÖRHEAD song titled "Knife" is featured in the commercial for Vans' Rowley Pro Lite shoes. Check it out below.
"Knife" comes off MOTÖRHEAD's 21st studio album, "Aftershock", which sold 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 22 on The Billboard 200 chart.
MOTÖRHEAD's previous CD, 2011's "The Wörld Is Yours", opened with 7,000 units to enter the chart at No. 94. The band's 2008 effort, "Motörizer", premiered with 6,400 copies to debut at No. 82, while 2006's "Kiss Of Death" registered a first-week tally of 3,500.
"Aftershock" was recorded at NRG Studios in North Hollywood, California and is described in a press release as "a true leveler, a crushing confirmation of everything MOTÖRHEAD stands for, marching from the dust storm to deliver 14 belting statements which see MOTÖRHEAD in perhaps their best writing form for years. There's swagger, there's punch, there's speed and there’s dirty filthy grooves, Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee showing clearly that MOTÖRHEAD is not simply a band, it's a genre!"
MOTÖRHEAD canceled a handful of shows on its European festival tour in August afterLemmy suffered a haematoma (where blood collects outside of a blood vessel). The news ofLemmy's latest medical issue followed reports that he was also recently fitted with a defibrillator because of heart problems. The band has since also postponed a European headlining tour which was scheduled to kick off in November.
