Which maybe means that it's High Rise who don't belong here... nah, this is zero parallel sense-strafing rock & roll demolition and it deserves to be blasted from every conceivable platform. They used to go by the name Psychedelic Speed Freaks (keeping it for their record label) and it's hard to put it better than that: freeform biker metal blaze with half-submerged vocals and no real beginning or end.
  10. ^ Grinder, Sleaze (7 March 2016). "Flash Metal Suicide: Steve Jones". Classic Rock. Retrieved 23 September 2018. So naturally, Jones wanted to keep the motor revving. And as we rolled into the last gasp of the 80s, biker metal was where it was at. COP, Warrior Soul, Zodiac Mindwarp, Spread Eagle, Horse London, Two Bit Thief, The Cult, Four Horsemen, I mean, everybody had long hair and dangling earrings and black biker boots and snorted whiskey and guzzled gasoline in '89. Biker metal was glam metal gone Mad Max, basically, and 1989 was truly the Year of Manly Living.

Its mix of a dystopian Western setting, Schafer's brilliant writing, gorgeous art direction, a stellar biker-metal soundtrack by The Gone Jackals that was so good I bought the album, and a remarkable voice cast (including a hell of a turn by Mark Hamill as the villainous Adrian Ripburger) made for an unforgettable ride that I still fire up every year or so

  18. ^ Plowman, Alec. "How Metallica Could Have Saved "Load" and "Reload"". Ultimate Guitar Archive. Retrieved 23 September 2018. The albums weren't thrash, but the greasy biker-metal sound the band mostly went for wasn't a complete sonic deviation either.
  19. ^ WIEDERHORN, JON (2017). "20 YEARS AGO: METALLICA LOCK AND 'RELOAD'". Loudwire. Retrieved 23 September 2018. Reload, by contrast, was more experimental, blending biker metal, southern rock and unconventional arrangements into a bracing batch of songs that were familiar, but refreshingly adventurous.

  21. ^ EPSTEIN, DAN. "Motorhead's Lemmy: 20 Essential Songs". Rolling Stone. Retrieved 23 September 2018. A herald of the laid-back biker metal of the band's latter years, "Born to Raise Hell" is a Motörhead classic lacking any pretense.

With their 1977 self-titled debut, Motörhead opened the floodgates for a new style of bluesy, bombastic biker metal, but two years later, on March 24, 1979, they rewrote the rule book altogether with the more urgent, combustive Overkill.
