"'Born to Raise Hell'" is a song by the British heavy metal band Motrhead. Originally written by Lemmy Kilmister for the German band Skew Siskin, it plays over the opening credits of the 1994 film 'Airheads' in which Lemmy makes a cameo appearance.
The song was released as a single in November 1994, featuring Lemmy, Ice-T and Ugly Kid Joe lead singer Whitfield Crane. The single features a radio edit, the original 'Bastards' album version and the Dust Brothers Live and Funky Mix. A special 12" vinyl picture disc pressing was made, using the same picture as the CD single release.Burridge, Alan 'Illustrated Collector's Guide to Motrhead' Published: 1995, Collector's Guide Publishing .
This version was recorded in addition to the previous recordings of "Hellraiser" and "Hell on Earth", as a last minute job to play over the end credits of the 'Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth' film, although it didn't appear on the film's original soundtrack album.Kilmister, Ian Fraser and Garza, Janiss White 'Line Fever' (2002) Simon & Schuster pp.258 and 262-263. .
At 2016's Bloodstock Open Air Festival, Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons (formerly The Phil Campbell All Starr Band) covered the track with guest vocals from Twisted Sister's Dee Snider as a tribute to Lemmy.
A small excerpt was used in the 2019 film 'Fighting with My Family'.
