Bolt Thrower Metal Blade Records Updated: 08/11/06
Celebrating 20 years in existence as well as the return of original lead vocalist Karl Willetts, the death metal devastation brought on by the mighty Bolt Thrower is more commanding than ever. Those Once Loyal is their latest magnum opus on war and destruction, and it’s a victorious recording. Nine new artillery shells are tossed at the listener, and they blast away with a fiery intensity. No battle scars to be found on this gang, as Bolt Thrower delivers with deadly precision and possess the energy of fresh new soldiers hungry for the good fight. Highlights on the front include At First Light, The Killchain, Granite Wall, and the mesmerizing When Cannons Fade. Based out of the UK, it appears that Bolt Thrower is headed for total world domination with this one. Here’s hoping this metal army will invade our American shores soon and assault the States with their metallic brand of brutal propaganda. (Kenneth Morton)
