In the wake of Lemmy Kilmister's passing, longtime Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell has found musical solace with his three sons and vocalist Neil Starr in Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. Their full-length debut is a cornucopia of melodic hard-rock jams ("Ringleader," "Freak Show," "Get On Your Knees"), while Campbell's slash-and-burn Motörhead style cuts through on "Gypsy Kiss" and "Dropping the Needle." Before it's over, he lends some deep country twang to the harmonica-driven "Dark Days" and bluesy ballad "Into the Dark."
