Motörhead are a canonical speed metal band. Their name derives from a slang term for an amphetamine user: the umlaut in their name is a record-cover art conceit.


Founded by ex-Hawkwind bassist Lemmy Kilmister in 1975, they specialize in songs that are extremely loud to the unaccustomed listener. The title of one of their live albums, "Everything Louder Than Everyone Else", reflects this fact.
