MOTORHEAD: (1982) Iron Fist

Motorhead were riding high in the early-'80s, courtesy of such big U.K. hit albums as ACE OF SPADES and NO SLEEP 'TIL HAMMERSMITH, so there was no reason to worry about an imminent, career-threatening turmoil. Or so fans thought. Problems were brewing behind the scenes--longtime guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke would be exiting the band after only one more studio album, 1982's IRON FIST. Produced by Clarke himself, though it didn't achieve the instant classic status of the previous two, FIST kept Motorhead in the heavy metal spotlight.
The title track remains a rapid fire Motorhead classic, while such oft-overlooked rockers as "Got To Hell" and "Sex and Outrage" proved to be highlights. By 1983, Motorhead announced the addition of a new (albeit short lived) line-up, featuring ex-Thin Lizzy guitar slinger Brian Robertson, while Clarke formed a new band, Fastway. Originally released in 1982,this was Motorhead's follow-up to their notorious 'Ace Of Spades' landmark lp.Always knew that album would be tough to match.But,in all fairness,they do their best and I'm certainly not complaining.'Iron Fist' also marks the last record with ace guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke.Most memorable tracks here are the title cut "Iron Fist","Heart Of Stone","Loser" and "Speed Freak".Some fine British '80's metal to be fully experienced here.
