Bastards is the first studio album that Motörhead recorded with the short-lived Lemmy, Campbell, Würzel and Dee line-up. It was also the first of four Motörhead albums that were produced by Howard Benson. After unsuccessfully commercialising the success of 1916 with its 1992 follow up March or Die, the band returned to their roots, being loud and fast.

Bastards is the third full-length studio album from English thrash metal band, Cerebral Fix. It is their second on Roadrunner Records and follows Tower of Spite from the previous year.
