BOLT THROWER

Release Year: 2018
Artist Origin: ENG
Style: menacing monolithic warlike death metal

exceptionally rough early material by kult Birmingham death metal troupe is rich in pulverizing guitar riffs, pummeling drums and throat-destroying vocals by Karl Willets - with their menacing second full-length album [1989] they have crystalized a peculiarly grandiloquent monolithic approach to the genre, where dramatic, foreboding passages give way to relentless bursts of speed, while militaristic atmosphere and uncompromising power of arrangements cement their distinct direction; establishing classic line-up and starting a long time cooperation with Earache Records, nine awe-inspiring cuts devour with a massive warlike wall of sound, violently threatening anyone who does not show the legendary ensemble a proper respect; recent digipak re-issue comes with sound remastered in full dynamic range from original master tapes, and alternate layout, featuring cover artwork by John Sibbick
