"Killed By Death" is a song by the heavy metal band Motörhead. Released in 1984, in 7" and 12" vinyl pressings.
Its B-side is "Under The Knife", the 12" vinyls have a bonus track "Under The Knife" (a different song) and a free colour poster. The title song is taken from the No Remorse compilation album. Bronze Records also issued a shaped picture disc (approx 12") version of the 7" vinyl release, depicting the band's logo, some lapses in quality control allowed through a number of pressings that play King Kurt on the 'B' side.[1]
To assist its promotion in the States, Bronze/Island pressed a 12" radio play edition, with identical versions of "Killed By Death" on both sides of the vinyl, so that disc jockeys couldn't play the wrong track by mistake. It is one of the hardest Motorhead items of all to track down.[2] There is also a video made for the track.
