Bolt Thrower
 

Hey im new here... *hi* =) i was wondering if anyones heard of bolt thrower? their an old thrash band from i think the 80's... :)

Aye lass....got into them just after i left school...way back in 1991,an awsome band they were,iv got all there albums from there first which came out 1988 'In Battle There Is No Law' the 'Realm of Chaos','Warmaster',The IVth Crusade' and '...For Victory' and so on...seen em live also about 3 times,back here in shoddy old england!

Thrash? You must be confused.

War Master is classic.

i read your posts....


YOU RULE!

im gonna download some songs any recomandations?

the whole mercinary albumn....pure f u c king thrash

:)

This needs a hectic bump!

Been listening to the three latest BT albums and they are really amazing. Something that I think a not metal lover could listen to and half enjoy!

Best thing out of Britain that I have come across in my musical adventures in a few months!!

Fooking love them. "Realms of Chaos" created that dirty lowend guitar sound that Entombed, Dismember, Therion and hordes of other Nords took off with in the 90's. "...On to Victory" also kills. Something about their mixture of grindcore and death metal does me in every time.

Great band. Definitely deserves the bump.

I have to say they are not one of my favourites. Saw them about 4 times in the late 80's and always preferred bands like Cerebral Fix who were a little more gritty. Great album covers though!

Bump.

Was going to make a thread on Bolt Thrower, but see one already exists.

One of my favorite metal bands, period.

Favorite album of theirs:

But most everything they did was top notch.

aren't they "grindcore"?

i have an album, forgot its name, but something to do with the Warhammer 40,000 RPG franchise

edit - googled it, it's Realm of Chaos

yeah defo grindcore

:band:

Awesome fucking band!

welcome to musicbanter. hope you enjoy it here. have fun!

I would say their early stuff was grindcore, and as time went on they added Death Metal to their sound, not Death Metal like say Cannibal Corpse or Deicide.. but Death Metal none the less.

Check out the albums "War Master", "The IVth Crusade" and "...For Victory" as well.

BUMP. Listen to BT or die.

^^^ Agreed. I say we start throwing people into pillorys for not having Bolt Thrower albums.

Imagine, stopping people on the street:

'Scuse me mam, can I see your playlist?

Oh, certainly sir.....

...hmm, ok, let's see b, b, b... b! Beck, Bjork, Blood Brothers, Boris, Boyd Rice, Buck Owens... Wait! No Bolt Thrower?!?

Sir, I didn't....

QUIET YOU! This is the kind of **** that's ruining this country! You think you can just waltz in here without Bolt Thrower....

...well, I have the Blood Brothers! (then collapses in a heap, as the billy club slows returns to its holster)

how many times did they use this intro I wonder... should listen to the albums all over again sometime soon to see if it was on every album, lol..




first time I heard "Embers" I thought I got a wrong mp3, thought it was "Cenotaph" at first, confused me for a second...
