Motörhead and Germany… it was always a love affair. Throughout the Grammy-Award winning band’s illustrious 40-year career, Germany never wavered in its loyal and fanatical support of Motörhead’s untouchably loud rock ‘n’ roll, with the band regularly selling out tour after tour. And on December 5th, 2012, at the Berlin Velodrom, Motörhead played one of their biggest-ever German gigs to 12,000 delirious, delighted and demented Motörhead fans during the Kings of The Road Tour.

Since September 17th, the Italian hard rockers, Desperation BLVD, have been presenting the music video for the track “November Pain” from their self-titled debut EP - and if you think of Guns N’ Roses right away when you hear such a song title, you can feel exactly on the right 80s track - check out the lyric video for the track below.

Warrior Soul is releasing a blast of a covers album called “Cocaine and Other Good Stuff” on Livewire/Cargo Records on November 13th, 2020.
