9. Orgasmatron
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpqPR2Tv5Sc Probably the most unconventional Motörhead track in this article, "Orgasmatron" incorporates relentlessly mechanical drums, an almost clinical robotic vocal from Lemmy and a repetitive, driving, crushing riff which announced a considerable stylistic change for the band on this opening track from their 1984 album of the same name. Covered - rather too faithfully - by Brazilian Thrash/Death Metal legends Sepultura, "Orgasmatron" is highly reminiscent of the Industrial metal found on a Godflesh or Ministry album. It may be one of the slowest songs Motörhead ever recorded but it is no less pulse-pounding for it and stands as proof that Lemmy and Motörhead have influenced bands in all genres of heavy music; including those as diverse and niche as within industrial metal. "Orgasmatron" is so relentlessly heavy you may find yourself pinned to the tracks as its thundering steam train riff passes over you; a unique and highly effective song in Motörhead's back catalogue.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
