Overkill: the album that launched Motörhead into rock history

Official Motörhead Overkill sew-on patch – 10 × 10 cm

⚡ This official Motörhead patch celebrates Overkill, the band's fourth studio album and one of the defining records of its career. Released in 1979, it firmly established Lemmy's trio as one of Britain's most powerful rock bands, inspiring generations of heavy metal, speed metal and thrash musicians.

The album that changed everything 🤘

Released on 24 March 1979, Overkill is widely regarded as Motörhead's first undisputed classic. The title track opens with Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor's famous double bass drum pattern, setting the tone with extraordinary speed and intensity. Songs such as Overkill, Stay Clean and No Class quickly became staples of the band's live performances.

With this album, Motörhead fully defined its unmistakable sound: an uncompromising blend of rock 'n' roll, heavy metal and punk played louder, faster and harder than almost anyone else.

A modern interpretation of Snaggletooth 🔍

Rather than reproducing the original album cover, this patch presents a striking modern interpretation of Snaggletooth. The legendary mascot appears as a fractured metallic skull surrounded by explosive energy. Its glowing eyes, long steel tusks, razor-sharp fangs and hanging chains create a powerful, aggressive composition.

The classic blue Motörhead logo dominates the artwork, while the fiery red Overkill lettering stands out against a vivid green and blue halo that gives the design exceptional visual impact.

💡 Did you know?

The word "overkill" describes the use of far more force than necessary to achieve a result. The title perfectly reflects Motörhead's philosophy: louder, faster and heavier than anyone expected.

The song Overkill is also famous for its pioneering use of double bass drumming, a technique that would go on to influence countless speed metal, thrash metal and extreme metal bands in the decades that followed.
