Otherwise, it's state of the art biker metal, right down to the ridiculous hollow-drum production.
Former Ozzy Osbourne guitar man Zakk Wylde spends most of his time these days churning out doomy biker metal with Black Label Society
The theme is biker metal, along the lines of Motorhead and Tank meets Turbonegro
Failing to graduate alongside contemporaries Motörhead and Maiden, come 1986 they went looking for rejuvenation in their biker metal roots.
After writing a fistful of screeching biker metal anthems, the band hit the road.
Its mix of a dystopian Western setting, Schafer's brilliant writing, gorgeous art direction, a stellar biker-metal soundtrack by The Gone Jackals that was so good I bought the album, and a remarkable voice cast (including a hell of a turn by Mark Hamill as the villainous Adrian Ripburger) made for an unforgettable ride that I still fire up every year or so
Which maybe means that it's High Rise who don't belong here... nah, this is zero parallel sense-strafing rock & roll demolition and it deserves to be blasted from every conceivable platform. They used to go by the name Psychedelic Speed Freaks (keeping it for their record label) and it's hard to put it better than that: freeform biker metal blaze with half-submerged vocals and no real beginning or end.
So naturally, Jones wanted to keep the motor revving. And as we rolled into the last gasp of the 80s, biker metal was where it was at. COP, Warrior Soul, Zodiac Mindwarp, Spread Eagle, Horse London, Two Bit Thief, The Cult, Four Horsemen, I mean, everybody had long hair and dangling earrings and black biker boots and snorted whiskey and guzzled gasoline in '89. Biker metal was glam metal gone Mad Max, basically, and 1989 was truly the Year of Manly Living.

Georgia's pretty damn good at producing great stoner sludge metal: In addition to Mastodon and Baroness there's Kylesa, who fuses basement punk and biker metal on Ultraviolet.
The albums weren't thrash, but the greasy biker-metal sound the band mostly went for wasn't a complete sonic deviation either.
Reload, by contrast, was more experimental, blending biker metal, southern rock and unconventional arrangements into a bracing batch of songs that were familiar, but refreshingly adventurous.
But still, there's no denying how important and influential this biker metal band has been
A herald of the laid-back biker metal of the band's latter years, "Born to Raise Hell" is a Motörhead classic lacking any pretense.
With their 1977 self-titled debut, Motörhead opened the floodgates for a new style of bluesy, bombastic biker metal, but two years later, on March 24, 1979, they rewrote the rule book altogether with the more urgent, combustive Overkill.
Gritty anthems like "Princess of the Night," "Denim and Leather" and "Wheels of Steel" established the band's biker-metal aesthetic
One of glam's most fascinating misfires, the diabolically decadent Sea Hags soared up out of pre-grunge Seattle and landed in thrash-era San Francisco, where they won fans with an especially sleaze-basted take on biker metal
First up, Tank's This Means War combined a scampered biker metal with epic war tales, sorta like Motorhead crossed with Maiden.
