"Killed by Death" was one of the few original songs recorded for the 1984 compilation album No Remorse and was the first to feature the new line-up of Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Würzel, and Pete Gill; the first time Lemmy had hired two guitarists to bolster his already formidable wall of sound. "Killed By Death" is a classic cut of heavy metal but with one noticeable, genre-defining difference. At two minutes and 45 seconds Lemmy unleashes a vocal line that can only be described as a black metal rasp later made famous by the likes of genre-pioneers Bathory, Mayhem and Darkthrone. Darkthrone have practically been recording Motörhead records in recent years, transforming their tinnitus inducing, black metal racket into a black n' roll, punked-up Motörhead tribute act, so its pretty safe to say that they were listening very intently when Lemmy played some vocal tricks of his own on this underrated track.
