"Born to Raise Hell" is a song by the heavy metal band Motörhead. Originally written by Lemmy for the German band Skew Siskin, it plays over the opening credits of the film Airheads.
The song was released as a single in 1994, featuring Lemmy, Ice T and Whitfield Crane. The single features a 'Radio Edit', the original Bastards album version and a 'Dust Brothers Live and Funky Mix'. A special 12" vinyl picture disc pressing was made, using the same picture as the CD single release.[1]
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.[2]
