    I'm so happy you loved the drums on this. They were played by Martin Kearns, who tragically passed in 2015. I played with him in a pre Bolt Thrower band (he joined in 1994) and he was genuinely a nice bloke. Last time I saw him he said he had bought a bass to learn that.
    I said "is it because it has 4 strings and not 6 so you thought it would be a third easier?"
    He said "Yep!"
    I replied "I doesn't work like that though, does it?"
    He said "nope" and we both started laughing.
    He would have been so happy a channel the size of yours dug his groove.
    RIP Kiddie.

    Bolt Thrower's bassist is a woman - Jo Bench, one of the first females to play extreme/ death metal.
    Martin Kearns (drums) was the drummer on this record in 2005 - he passed away in 2015... Bolt Thrower ended right after in 2016.
    Hailing from the UK, Bolt Thrower made extreme metal based on themes of war... their 1989 album 'Realm of Chaos' was a landmark record in the death metal genre, alongside extreme metal bands from the UK, like Napalm Death, Carcass... Bolt Thrower consisted of Karl Willetts (vocals), Gavin Ward & Barry 'Baz' Thomson (guitars), Jo Bench (bass)... Andy Whale (drums) was an early member. Willets left the band around 1995, as did Whale... Martin Kearns (drums) played w/ Bolt Thrower at the time... The band carried on recording past 2000, before Karl Willetts (vocals) rejoined Bolt Thrower for this 2005 album 'Those once loyal'... it would be their last record. They felt that record was a creative peak, and decided not to record another album.
    Drummer Martin 'Kiddie' Kearns died unexpectedly at age 38 in 2015, and Bolt Thrower ended in 2016 after refusing to replace him.

    Bolt Thrower is one of my favorite death metal bands. Their later material is a lot like this. Solid, midtempo, groovy, riff heavy, crisp, tank metal that just methodically crushes. The production is immaculate. Colin Richardson is surgically bright and precise in his production style, opting for crystal clarity and percussive oblivion.
    The band writes a lot about war. Sometimes introspective, sometimes like a field manual or textbook.
    Death metal is a spectrum. On one end you have muddy sloppy gore like Cannibal Corpse and the other end is this.
    My favorite song is Cenotaph. Riff monster. The vocals are always deep, harsh, and buried just enough to provide rhythm and texture without distraction.
    I'm so happy yall found this band.

    Love Bolt Thrower! Something I didn't see mentioned was that fade in intro to this song, that's the "Bolt Thrower riff" that first started from the end of their song "World Eater" on the Realm of Chaos album. They have a song on each album (except ...For Victory I believe) that starts and/or ends with that same riff...
    World Eater (Realm of Chaos)
    Cenotaph (War Master)
    Embers (IVth Crusade)
    Powder Burns (Mercenary)
    The Killchain (Those Once Loyal)
    They wanted to do a long medley of these songs eventually one day but never got around to it before their drummer Martin Kearns passed away.
    If I could recommend "When Cannons Fade" should you guys come back to BT. It's a fitting end to their discography with that final drum outro being the last thing we hear from Martin.
    RIP.

Bolt Thrower is about as no frills and rock solid as death metal comes, so it's rad that your metal journey has led you to being open to even this kinda stuff. This whole album is full of midtempo bangers.

    Yes! I've been waiting so long for you to finally get to Bolt Thrower! I knew you'd love the groove of this song but wasn't sure if the vocals would take you out of it, I'm glad they didn't! If you ever revisit Bolt Thrower you gotta do When Cannons Fade, there's a lot more variation in that one. This is a more basic catchy track that's put in the middle of an album with a lot more stuff going on.

Then they still decide to just name drop Bolt Thrower as the one they could say stood out from the rest as the best band they've toured with. Rotting Christ also seem super chill so them giving that credit to Bolt Thrower just warmed my heart :) Good reaction, glad you liked them!

    Thanks or doing Bolt Thrower! One of my all time favourite bands. For me they are up there with Black Sabbath in terms of my personal favourites. I really think you would enjoy the album "The IVth Crusade". Its abit slower but veeery groovy. Check out "This Time Its War" or "Icon". The fun thing is that they dont have a single bad album. For being Death metal they were extremely consistent with their style and are praised accordingly.
    Edit: I agree with someone else commenting about doing "When Cannons Fade", I think thats a perfect song for you guys with one of my all time favourite outros.

  • @parcaleste
    @parcaleste 2 роки тому +15

    Bolt Thrower is a different kind of a death metal band. It's one that metalheads that listen to nothing else but Manowar and Judas Priest will love and play on repeat (judging by people who I know). I think that it is because they are so groovy/rhythm based but also sorta melodic, and while the vocal is so strong/heavy but you can understand him and how he fits with the music, add the solos and it makes for a unique experience. Love them since the first time I've heard them and are on constant rotation at home since 1996. Their last album (from which comes this track) is their masterpiece, bar none. I cannot point to a weak song here, whereas their other albums there's always this one track that sounds sorta like a filler.
    You really need to dig a bit more into these "less popular" bands (in quotations cause BT are well known name where I am coming from), there are some amazing gems and it will be a trip for you and people that listen to you but had never experienced said bands (here I can dump a bunch of names, but I'm sure you have plenty on your plate already. I really only hope for Coroner, that's it).
