Lüger Revelations Of The Sacred Skull

Lüger Summons "Motörcity Hellcats" Through Devilish Rock'n'Roll (Early Track Stream)


Like the weapon that Lüger takes their name from, the Canadian band’s vicious hard rock is built for compact destruction: neither needing lengthy songs or elaborate instrumentation to impart their sleaze-ridden missives. Their second album Revelations of the Sacred Skull covers a lot of musical ground, but at its core sits a jet-black heart of rock’n’roll. On “Motörcity Hellcats,” which we’re premiering below, this essence reigns, delivered with the utmost of respect for the genre’s unhinged predecessors. Swaggering and unrepentant, the track belts out bluesy licks alongside steel-tipped riffs. Stream it here:

Though “Motörcity Hellcats” highlights the pure energy that Lüger has to offer, they have more than one blade up their leather sleeves on Revelations of the Sacred Skull. Within these bouncy street-lethal anthems lurks a contingent of hypnotic doom and druggy mysticism, which surfaces like a sinister fog throughout the album. If listening to this track subconsciously evokes thoughts of back-alley rituals and urban witchcraft, expect the full album to manifest those hints into gruesome reality.

The band comments:

“Motörcity Hellcats” is a love letter to the heroes of the 60’s and 70’s Detroit rock n’ roll scene.
