MOTÖRHEAD is turning it up to 11 on February 1 with the release of Sacrifice Shiraz Bag-in-Box. This is the world’s first Bag-in-Box for the rock ‘n’ roll world… and it ain’t any old box either! Modelled to look exactly like a guitar amplifier, this is a unique, iconic packaging from “the world’s loudest band” that unreservedly demands its place on the wine shelf.

“Can you decorate your rock’n'roll table with something better? No, I would not believe so,” says Mikkey Dee, MOTÖRHEAD‘s drummer.

“About 60 percent of the wine consumed in Sweden is from Bag-in-Box, which makes Sweden the world’s largest consumer of box wine. Naturally we want to provide the rock fans the same range of packaging choice,” says Yvonne Wener, head of Brands For Fans.

Brands For Fans is an importer and distributor specialized in launching wines and drinks from bands, artists and other strong brands. Within Brands For Fans, there is a passionate interest in music, popular culture with a lot of experience in working with the wine and spirit-trade and collaborating with strong brands. Brands For Fans are also specialized in viral and digital marketing, product and concept development and planning, realizing and following up on events.

As previously reported, MOTÖRHEAD‘s signature wine — which made its debut in Sweden in 2010 — has sold more than 300,000 bottles since it was launched.

The Australian Shiraz has been carefully selected by the hard rock legends and has been described as a wine with a fruity aroma, flavors of vanilla, blackberries, plums, eucalyptus and liquorice, but with soft rounded tannins. Or, as Lemmy Kilmister, lead singer, bass player and founder of the band, puts it: “My advice is — approach it with caution. I mean, wine is deceptive, anything can happen.”

Grammy-award winners MOTÖRHEAD are Lemmy Kilmister (bass and vocals), Phil Campbell (guitar) and Mikkey Dee (drums). Formed in 1975, the band has released a total of 21 studio albums. The band’s most recent album, “The Wörld Is Yours”, was released in February 2011, while two deluxe live albums/DVDs titled “The Wörld Is Ours” volumes 1 & 2 were released to huge acclaim in 2012.

MOTÖRHEAD has been forced to cancel tonight’s (Tuesday, December 11) concert in Kempten, Germany after the band’s frontman, Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister, came down with the flu.

MOTÖRHEAD will enter the studio in January with longtime producer Cameron Webb to begin recording its next album for a mid-2013 release. “We’ll go into the rehearsal room about a month before the album and just bang stuff out,” Lemmy told Billboard.com.

In a recent interview with Artisan News, MOTÖRHEAD drummer Mikkey Dee stated about the band’s plans for a new CD, “We have a lot of songs done already. It’s not finished. We’re gonna keep writing and we’ll record it next year, and it will come out next year.”

MOTÖRHEAD released “The Wörld Is Ours – Vol 2: Anyplace Crazy As Anywhere Else” in Germany on September 21, three days later in the rest of Europe and October 9 in North America via UDR/EMI. The follow-up to 2011′s “The Wörld Is Ours – Vol 1: Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else” features the band’s 2011 Wacken Open Air headline appearance as well as highlights from Sonisphere (United Kingdom) and Rock In Rio (Brazil) shows.

MOTÖRHEAD‘s latest album “The Wörld Is Yours”, sold 7,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 94 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band’s previous effort, “Motörizer”, premiered with 6,400 units back in 2008 to debut at No. 82, while 2006′s “Kiss Of Death” registered a first-week tally of 3,500.

AOL‘s Noisecreep conducted an interview with MOTÖRHEAD drummer Mikkey Dee at the opening show of this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival on June 30 at San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, California. Dee spoke about music, MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister and hockey. You can watch the chat below.

According to the official blog of the MOTÖRHEAD fan club organizer/editor Alan Burridge, the band’s “The Wörld Is Ours Vol. 2″ DVD will be released to tie in with MOTÖRHEAD‘s annual U.K. tour in November.

Released in North America in January via Motörhead Music/UDR, “The Wörld Is Ours Vol. 1 – Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else” was a blistering DVD containing some of the finest moments from MOTÖRHEAD‘s 2011 tour.

Mixed by the band’s long-time producer Cameron Webb, “The Wörld Is Ours Vol. 1 – Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else” was stuffed with the classics Motörfans demanded, from “Overkill” to “Ace Of Spades” to “Killed By Death” as well as some old gems like “Over The Top” and new favorites such as “I Know How To Die”.

“The Wörld Is Ours Vol. 1 – Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else” contains the complete set from the band’s supreme performance in Chile at the Teatro Caupolican in Santiago on April 9, 2011, shot by Banger Films and Sam Dunn (“Iron Maiden Flight 666″, “Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage”). The DVD continues with some tasty morsels from New York’s Best Buy Theater and the Manchester Apollo.
