The track will be released on Würzel's posthumous album with Leader of Down.
Motörhead guitarist Michael “Würzel” Burston formed the band Leader of Down alongside Tim Atkinson , and the duo recorded dozens of songs together. Sadly, Burston passed away three years later without finishing the project. Now, the album titled Cascade Into Chaos will be released on September 28th by Cleopatra Records.
One of the tracks on the album is “Paradise Turned Into Dust,” which features vocals by Lemmy Kilmister , the late frontman of Motörhead. The song was finished in 2015, shortly before Lemmy's death on December 28 of that year.
“It’s a very strange feeling to see this album finally released,” says Atkinson, “It’s strange not having Würzel here and I know he would be very happy with the result. It was a great pleasure to compose with him.”
We always wanted Lemmy to sing on 'Paradise Turned Into Dust' and the recording session with him was thrilling. I wish Würz had been there to see it happen. It was incredible to have so many friends helping to finalize the work.”
Cascade Into Chaos will also feature appearances by Fast Eddie Clarke, Phil Campbell, Cliff Evans (Tank), Bruce Foxton (The Jam), Whitfield Crane (Ugly Kid Joe) , and Lee Richards (Godsmack).
