Motörhead have released an animated video for their legendary cover of Metallica's monster smash Enter Sandman.
Uploaded to YouTube to commemorate Motörhead Day (May 8th), the cover had previously only been available as part of a compilation CD released by now-defunct wrestling promotion ECW.
The incredible new animated video, takes the viewer on a horrifying nocturnal journey through the nightmares of a child who is haunted by the evil sandman in his dreams. The child is ultimately saved by the powers of the inimitable Motörhead ‘Warpig’.
The video was produced by Mulberry Creative.
The cover is now also available on all streaming platforms, including Dolby Atmos on Apple Music and 360 Spatial Audio on Amazon. There’s also an exclusive, limited edition 7” single with etched Warpig B-side with exclusive merch and bundles, available in the official Motörhead store while stocks last!
The two bands have always shared a unique bond of friendship, with Metallica even playing Lemmy’s 50th birthday in 1995 all dressed up as the great man himself, under the moniker of The Lemmy’s. In turn, Motörhead have paid homage to some of Metallica’s finest compositions, even winning a Grammy for their cover of Whiplash in 2004. However, their cover of one of the most iconic hard rock classics of all time, Enter Sandman, has been largely overlooked until now.
