Death Alley Chronicle Recent Triumphs in “Black Magick Blitzkrieg” Video

death alley

Last time we heard from Amsterdam heavy rock mischief-specialists Death Alley, they were kosmiche-ing out with a cover of Hawkwind‘s “Motorhead” in homage to Lemmy Kilmister. That was a week ago. Yup, a whole week. In the interim, the brash-as-broken-bottles four-piece made their way over to Germany last weekend for two gigs, and because we live in an age where amazing things happen all the time and as much as we all like to pretend vinyl is the be-all-end-all of human development (yeah yeah, it is, whatever) sometimes digital comes in handy, they have a brand new video culled from footage from those two shows in Berlin and Würzburg, out now and ready for viewing.

And actually, I’m late to the party on it. Came out on Wednesday. So they weren’t yet five days removed from the gigs and already the clip was edited and put together. Try doing that with tape.

If you’re not yet initiated, Death Alley made a particularly righteous debut last year in the form of Black Magick Boogieland (review here) on Tee Pee Records, and in addition to the shows they just played from whence the video below comes, they have more gigs set for the next couple months that include stops at the likes of Roadburn and Desertfest Berlin. Needless to say, the record has been well received. And if you didn’t get your Lemmy tribute 7″ preorder in, to the best of my knowledge they still have those available at the BigCartel link below.

The name of the song in the video isn’t “Black Magick Blitzkrieg.” It’s “Black Magick Boogieland,” but given the nature of what I’ll assume was a marathon editing and synching session for most of the track, the name seems fitting anyway.

Enjoy:
