Motörhead — Ace of Spades

Motörhead’s 1980 fourth studio album is the moment the band’s speed, volume and snarl crystallised into something genuinely new. Lemmy’s bass distortion, Phil Taylor’s relentless drumming and “Fast” Eddie Clarke’s guitar collide on a record that became foundational for thrash, speed metal and punk alike. The title track is one of the most iconic riffs in rock history — gambling, dying, doing it loud.
