NEW
YORK (Motorhead Fans Website) - The immortal Motorhead and mighty
Corrosion Of Conformity will hit the road for a North American tour in
spring 2005.
Motorhead - celebrating its 30th anniversary this
year with a third career Grammy Award nomination - makes a triumphant
return to these shores after a 2004 fall tour was canceled due to an
injury suffered by vocalist/bassist Lemmy. At last, Lemmy, guitarist
Philip Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee are able to perform on this
continent to promote their Metal-Is/Sanctuary Records release
'Inferno.' This remarkable album earned mountains of overwhelmingly
positive reviews. In fact, the Associated Press called 'Inferno' the
best Motorhead album ever.
"Corrosion
Of Conformity are a fine band as everybody knows. Also, they must be
one of the few bands who have been going as long as Motorhead! Still,
we'll give them a run for their money!" says Lemmy. "Glad to have those
boys along."
Corrosion Of Conformity, also known as COC, will
give audiences a tantalizing taste of the blistering new Sanctuary
Records album 'In The Arms Of God,' which is scheduled for release on
April 5, 2005. Vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan, guitarist Woody
Weatherman, bass guitarist Mike Dean and special guest drummer Stanton
Moore (best known as a member of Galactic) have recorded an album of
visceral power that's a worthy follow-up to 2000's 'America's Volume
Dealer.' Scheduling conflicts will prevent Moore from touring with the
band. Jason Patterson (Cry Of Love) will serve as COC's touring drummer.
"Lemmy
and Motorhead are to heavy metal and our roots what
Johnny Cash is to
country," says Keenan. "It's an honor and a privilege to deliver volume
on the same stage...now up the f%#kin' hammers! Not to mention we've
got the baddest skulls in heavy metal!"
Motorhead will also be
performing at World Wrestling Entertainment's WrestleMania 21 at
Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, on Sunday, April 3rd.
