“Can’t scare you if you can’t be scared”
Abbath’s Dread Reaver failed to make my day with its frustrating lack of oomph. But on the album’s bonus track, a cover of Motörhead’s Make My Day, the band give it some extra welly and conjure up the kind of excitement that’s missing on the main album. The chorus is anthemic enough to poke through the band’s wallop of noise and Abbath does a good karaoke Lemmy. Normally, he sounds like the kinda guy that does battle with mountain lions but here he sounds more like he makes love to them. If he can start capturing some of this swagger in his own material then he might be on to something.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
Don’t you love it when the best songs are on the bonus tracks. The new Ellefson/Soto album is really great, but I like the bonus tracks even better.

It happens a lot! I’ve not heard the Ellefson/Soto. Are the bonus tracks on that covers or originals?

I think they are originals. I don’t have it with me at work to confirm.

That’s one way to distract you from the tinatus.

Covering Mötorhead makes you instantly cool. It’s like a cheat code.
