Motorhead shared the previously unreleased track, “Greedy Bastards.” The song is set to appear on the upcoming reissue, Bad Magic: Seriously Bad Magic, arriving via Silver Lining Music on February 24.
2015’s Bad Magic marked Motörhead’s 23rd and final album. Founding member, frontman and bassist Lemmy Kilmister passed away in December 2015 just months after the record arrived in August of that year.
The Motörhead camp detailed the reissue, Bad Magic: Seriously Bad Magic, back in November and shared another previously unreleased cut, “Bullet In Your Brain.” That song joins the new arrival, “Greedy Bastards,” as the two previously unheard cuts included on the reissue. The song gets going with some spoken word from Lemmy, who takes aim at politicians on the track.

“Another beauty from the Bad Magic sessions” Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell said, “with Lem’s lyrics hitting our times bang on the head.”
“Greedy Bastards” arrived with an animated video created by Natalia Jonderko Śmiechowicz. Watch below:
