Motorhead Covers Album Due Out In September

An album showcasing Motorhead’s best cover versions is to be released later this year.

Titled Under Cover, the 11-track compilation features their take on tracks by artists including Ozzy Osbourne, Sex Pistols, Metallica, Judas Priest and the Rolling Stones. It'll arrive in September, with a final street date to be announced in due course.

Also included on the record is their previously unreleased cover of David Bowie classic Heroes, which was recorded during the band’s 2015 studio sessions for what would turn out to be their final album, Bad Magic.

Mainman Lemmy died a few months after the album was released at the age of 70 – and just days after being told he was suffering an aggressive form of cancer.

Speaking about their cover of Heroes, guitarist Phil Campbell says: “It’s such a great Bowie song, one of his best, and I could only see great things coming out of it from us – and so it proved to be.
