MOTÖRHEAD: ORGASMATRON Seventh Studio Album (1986)

MOTÖRHEAD: ORGASMATRON Album Cover

Orgasmatron is the 7th studio album by English rock band Motörhead, released on August 9, 1986 by GWR Records, the band’s first album on the label. It is the band’s first album to feature both guitarists Phil “Wizzö” Campbell and Michael “Würzel” Burston, and also the only full Motörhead studio album to feature Pete Gill on drums, although all three also played on the new tracks recorded for the compilation album No Remorse, recorded and released in 1984. It is also the band’s first album to feature a four-piece lineup, instead of the usual trio.

The album was produced by composer and musician Bill Laswell, who had previously produced artists such as Herbie Hancock, Mick Jagger and PIL. The album was recorded in eleven days at Master Rock Studios in London. It was the band’s first full-length studio album in three years and got Motörhead back on track after the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful 1983 album Another Perfect Day, peaking at number 21 in the UK charts.
