Motörhead began its career as a group in 1975 and X stands for the number 10 in Roman Numerals… and four X's would mean 40. By God, I think we've cracked this insanely mysterious code! The reason Motörhead's new record would possibly be named XXXX is it's the total of women Lemmy sleeps with on a nightly basis! No, wait. Fuck.
If you look at the group's social media in general, you'll see the XXXX album art floating around basically everywhere with different captions. For instance-

So the band is done teasing because this morning they officially announced their twenty-second studio record will be called XXXX: Bad Magic. Here's the final cover:
While I'm usually not a fan of tracklistings, there is actual news in this one. Motorhead will be offering a cover of the Rolling Stones classic “Sympathy For The Devil,” so that should certainly be interesting. Here's the full listing:
01. Victory Or Die
02. Thunder & Lightning
03. Fire Storm Hotel
04. Shoot Out All Of Your Lights
05. The Devil
06. Electricity
07. Evil Eye
08. Teach Them How To Bleed
09. Till The End
10. Tell Me Who To Kill
11. Choking On Your Screams
12. When The Sky Comes Looking For You
13. Sympathy For The Devil
While no official release date has been set, the band promises the album will be out in August.
