“Lost” 1976 Motörhead Album The Manticore Tapes Coming Out Next Month

The great British heavy metal institution Motörhead ended in 2015 when Lemmy Kilminster, the band’s frontman and sole permanent member, passed away from cancer at the age of 70. Motörhead released their final album Bad Magic shortly before Kilminster’s passing, and this far Motörhead’s posthumous music has been limited to a few previously unreleased tracks on a Bad Magic deluxe edition. But now, we’re about to get the release of The Manticore Tapes, a “lost album” that documents Motörhead’s best-remembered lineup from the moment that the band first got together.
