"Hellraiser" is a song by Ozzy Osbourne and heavy metal band Motörhead. It was written by Ozzy Osbourne and Motörhead frontman Lemmy. Ozzy recorded it for his album No More Tears in 1991, and Motörhead's recording of the song was used in the movie Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, and was released as a single in 1992. The song is covered with "Name in Vain" which also appears on the album March ör Die, and "Dead Man's Hand". The title song also appears on The '92 Tour EP.[1]
The song was re-recorded for the computer and video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for its in-game radio station "Radio: X". This version (the original) is vocalised by Ozzy Osbourne, and is of a much higher production quality than the original recording.
The first of two tracks that Mikkey Dee recorded with Motörhead before officially joining the band, the other being "Hell on Earth".[2]
A video for "Hellraiser" was made, featuring Lemmy playing poker against Pinhead (Doug Bradley) from the Hellraiser movies.[3]
