Motorhead. What more can be said? Not many bands have had the drive, determination, or originality needed to constantly deliver quality metal for almost 30 years; but Motorhead has done just that. Under the direction of Lemmy Kilmister (a.k.a. God), Motorhead forged an easily recognizable sound in the late 70s/early 80s and have continued riding that same horse to this day. However, many fans began to wonder about Motorhead's future, following the lack of recent new material (with the exception of 2002's lackluster release Hammered). Motorhead's response? Inferno.

What a monster of an album! Motörhead shows that they are still one of the "heaviest" bands around and show no remorse. This album sounds totally refreshing and different from the other Motörhead albums.

The string section on Keys To The Kingdom is gorgeous.

The sound on this album is phenomenal, the riffs are heavy AF, and the solo's are amazing, I also really like the lyrics, there is such aggression and in them, but Lemmy's vocals aren't his best imo.

"In The Name Of Tragedy", "Suicide", "Life's A Bitch" and "Keys To The Kingdom" are the standout tracks here for me, the rest aren't as good but still impressive.

Inferno is one of their greatest later period albums.

This is the first I've heard it in a long while, I remember just how impressed I was with it, and it still sounds just as good now.

This is such an outstanding album, I dare to say that it might be my favorite Motörhead record. Every song is so damn memorable and there are very few albums in general that give me that impression. As mentioned above this album changes their usual style up a bit and the band delivers banger after banger. At the very least this should be on the "must-listen-list" of everybody that sympathises with the bands unique style of heavy metal.
