Motley Crue – Shout At The Devil

Mötley Crüe – Shout at the Devil

Originally released in 1983, Shout at the Devil is the album that catapulted Mötley Crüe from Hollywood upstarts to global metal icons. Wildly controversial, unapologetically loud, and oozing with danger, the record defined the band’s early sound — a sleazy, high-octane fusion of glam, punk, and heavy metal.

Bold in both sound and imagery, Shout at the Devil shocked and seduced audiences with its occult-tinged branding, aggressive riffs, and decadent themes. It remains one of the most iconic metal albums of the 1980s and a cornerstone of Mötley Crüe’s legacy.
