[annaisjesus]

FUCKING LOVE BOLT THROWER

[RadBrad13]

BOLT THROWEEEEEEEEEERRR!!!!

[ohiogrinder]

stormbanni, don't tell me you're into gay-ass power metal!

[sneasalmaster]

@ohiogrinder Two words: Iced Earth.

[ohiogrinder]

darko, grindcore and death metal were born around the same time. their early stuff is definitely grind-influenced, like Napalm Death and Carcass.

[AlaanPan]

bolt fucking metal

[slayerramma]

@AlaanPan Metal fucking thrower!

[strombanni]

I hate this style music but this song is not bad for me.

[paddymoep]

gtfo my internets

[gupado]

Wow, im really into this band, anyone can tell me the name of their best album?

[dirtyrottencromag]

@gupado personally? The album this song is off of. War Master. Realm of Chaos, The Peel Sessions, and ...For Victory are also other favorites. Enjoy!

[anicola2]

@gupado My favourite from their more Grindcore-influenced era is Realm of Chaos (especially Into the Eye of Terror and World Eater), and from their more Death Metal era I'd pick their latest, Those Once Loyal (both the album and the song are awesome).

[comedybenj]

theres this good album that has extreme noise terror and napalm death and bolt thrower and carcass and ghodflesh and unseen terror and intense degree called grind madness at the bbc

[Destroyer666AU]

@gupado probably realm of chaos for old skwl, their next 2 for better production

just look up their discography

[Setyrify]

fucking good old death metal. good shit.

[darko84hc]

Who said that this was grindcore? How dare you blaspheme! Hang your head in shame! Grindcore is kids stuff.

[DisembowelMe]

@darko84hc Haha, moron. This band was very influenced by grindcore in their beginnings before they evolved into their awesome rolling tank death metal they played after that.

I'm guessing that either you are very ignorant of what grindcore is or you've just heard the wrong stuff.

[H0lyR4v3n]

@darko84hc Grindcore is not kids stuff. Grindcore deserves the same respect as death metal, specially the Brittish grindcore scene.

[StaupEimer]

@H0lyR4v3n No.

[H0lyR4v3n]

@StaupEimer Hey man, go fuck yourself, troll

[StaupEimer]

@H0lyR4v3n Grindcore is the worst music out there.

[BlackAngel111111]

This is Death Metal at it's best you fuckheads

[Nokturna666]

Awesome song and Karl Willetts is such a nice guy. Was his penpal for a good many years

[Duffman89detmig]

niceeeeeeeee

[AlexandroMaceiras]

This is the very GRINDCORE e NO is Death Metal, lot of bastards !

[RlyehChurn]

Grindcore? Lol you wad!!

[kinghu666]

yeah...the beginning sounds like desperate cry by sepultura but anyway ...

[Totemhorn]

this song came out before desperate cry

[kinghu666]

i know...this was just a comparison..not more Mr. know-it-all

[Totemhorn]

look man I wasn't trying to be a know it all......why must people automatically get on the fucking defensive and immediately resort to shit talking?

[kinghu666]

agreed and shake hands

[aocidicoa]

CENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTAAAAAAAAA­AAAAPHH!!!

Fuck yes.

[bjjank]

Always cool when theres a chick bass player

[morriganmetalempress]

@bjjank Man, that's so great to read your comment after all the flack I've gotten for being a girl in Metal! Thanks, you made my day...

[StaupEimer]

@morriganmetalempress Chicks in metal are the best. Angela Gossow for example.

[morriganmetalempress]

@StaupEimer Cheers...

[jpgduff]

@bjjank esp whens shes pretty fuckin good lol

[Arcturo766]

does anyone know where the live footage of this clip was filmed? i saw them in early 93 at manchester rockworld with support from an emerging band...cradle of filth and i remember a tv crew filming it.

[Filosofem2008]

this is deathmetal!!!!!! powerfull and mean

! love it!

[SaltatioMortis1992]

yes! :o

[Filosofem2008]

you are sooooooo sweeet! ;)

[sweetgyy]

There's nothing pretty about Bolt Thrower for the exception of Jo Bench! The songs are compilations of sonic nuisances layered with

relentless apprehension and pain, enough to drive your pastor into suicide! God Bless this

band! ~ Fred S. Scranton Pa.

[piratehockey30]

i agree fellow pennsylvanian

Ryan Nanticoke Pa

[gaspanda]

best song they did by a long way

[MrTurningPointz]

Yeah I heard that she is in Whipsnade zoo now, fully YETIFIED.

[COTDEATH]

everyone fancied her because she was the only female musician in any band of the time. It was very much over-looked that she was ,in reality..a bit of a yeti lol.

[Aztek71]

Brutallity!!!

Ans Sexy bass payer Jo Bench....

[delcar2000]

Jo Bench.

that's all I have to say 'bout that.

[DyingWarlord]

classic :)

[vladislavvalev]

The Greatest band!!!

[offitcock]

used to love this song, havn't heard it for ages man

[agentolshki]

this reminds me of painting space marines n stuff. had a few albums including the picture disc.

[wmbdm]

Seen them with Destroyer666,Wicked Show!

[kilombo90]

real death metal¡¡¡¡¡¡old school¡¡¡¡¡

[azitzeen]

ENTER THE REALM OF CHAOS

[celticfrost1]

mighty band-great song

WORLDEATER!!!!

[PinkLinc]

Hu cares in what box it may fit in? Enjoy

[bobtheyob]

They stated in one interview that they write music that could be played by most musicians with around a year or 2s experience.

Best BT song though, anyone got a vid of them doing their "series" of songs which included this song and was intended to be played back to back at gigs, including this song.

And as supertrucker says its GRINDCORE.

[sdajafol]

Grindcore? Don't make me laugh. This is death metal, pure oldschool man! If you want grindcore you should listen Anal Cunt and bands like that, but this has nothing to do with grind.

[biffen89]

At first they were classed as grindcore, but I agree. They sound like pure old school Death Metal.

[UncannyJerry]

their first album was straight up borderline English grindcore/death metal. "In Battle There Is No Law" VERY different sounding from their "mid" releases on Earache.

[csdaveuk]

Quality. Sheer quality.

[secretsacred]

yea.

it is.

[doctorgore]

All time favorite!

[SuperTrucker4]

It's on the GRINDCORE comp.

[AngelDemonn]

She's still there, and still kicks buts

[secretsacred]

isnt there bass player a girl???

[DavesOnDrums]

Yeah, was on this tune anyway. Not sure about nowadays.

[Madsakre]

Yup Jo Bench is a gal.. She's been with them since before Realm of chaos

[secretsacred]

hey thanks.

Realm of chaos is awesome too.

still have the old tape.

[DavesOnDrums]

This is Bolt Throwers best tune in my opinion. Unfortunately, and don't gun me down for this, they suffer from what is commonly known as one-track-drummer. Seriously, he has one pattern of playing that spoils their work so badly, guitars are dirty, catchy and evil as fuck, bass (still that bird?) suits it all well, and whilst the vocals are pretty straight Death Metal stuff it's effective, but the poxy drummer is so boring it's untrue.

[carcosa]

I dunno, I always thought the monotonous drums kind of added to the vibe.  Some of his fills are pretty interesting.

[RiotInHell]

i agree he does seem to have only one pattern i sometimes mistaked a different song for being the same song i just played when it was the beginning of the song since the drummer does the same beat most of the time
