Bolt Thrower are one of very few bands (let alone one of very few death metal bands) to have an absolutely perfect discography. Every album is masterclass and is everything death metal should be. This is Bolt Thrower!

    Best Bolt Thrower album: Varies from day to day and what mood I'm in. Worst Bolt Thrower album: There is no worst album. They are all 10/10 Bolt thrower fucking rules, anyone with functioning ears know that
  • Jo Bench has one of the heaviest, most rumbling bass tones in metal. Like a thunderstorm during an earthquake.
  • @Mattulaak
    Bolt Thrower and DEATH are among the few bands to have a perfect discography.
  • The true soundtrack to Warhammer 40K. I listen as I'm painting armies and I'm always inspired.

    by far the most underrated band ever .. as much as i wanted another album.. i do not think it is possible to top those once loyal.. one of the best albums ever
  • Bolt Thrower kept getting better at being Bolt Thrower until they finally released the most Bolt Thrower album possible, at which point they stopped writing new songs: they had achieved perfection and they knew it. Absolutely one of the greatest bands of all time. Good job with this video, eh; mad props.

    Those Once Loyal is the king of all Bolt Thrower albums!
  • The IVth Crusade has a killer low end punch that is missing in some of their later work. Which is still good.

    Man, I bought "In battle there is no law" when it came out and became a death metal fan boy. Then they released Realms of Chaos and that settled my musical tastes for the next decade. I still hold these two albums up as the two best death metal albums ever. I like the cleanliness of Entombed and enjoy Pestilence and Morbid Angel etc. But nothing compares to Bolt Thrower taking my virginity back in the late eighties.
  • @Alonoda
    The repetetive riff appearing in some of the songs like powder burns, world eater, cenotaph etc.... is a great idea that creates a theme between albums... pretty special and epic
  • Absolutely LOVE Bolt Thrower. The best death metal band ever . Every album is killer and the artwork is just brilliant. Love these guys.
  • @moth7640
    I dont get why ppl don't like mercenary, i really love it
  • @chaktsallo2165
    Seen them in Dublin 1991 on the War Master tour. What a night. The bouncers were stage diving too
  • Mercenary was the album that became my intro to bolt thrower when I was 12 years old. I'm 25 now and still love bolt thrower to death. Call me a dweeb but Powder Burns is my all time favorite song of theirs. Just something about that riff and sound just does it for me and it has always been in my head since the first time I ever heard it. Love this fucking band!
  • @GREENWARRI0R
    Nothing I love more than listening to someone talk about my one of my favorite bands of all time.

    7:09 that's not a bizarre title. That is just a son of Angron, Primarch of the XII legion. Yup I'm a super nerd. I'll go away now
  • @THEBONESBRIGADE
    LOVE IT!......Been into Bolt Thrower since the beginning.....
  • my favorite death metal band. own all of their albums on vinyl. war master and for victory are my 2 favorites.
  • Bolt Thrower, Death and the first four Metallica albums are my ultimate soundtrack to play Halo with when war master and creeping death play I'm ready to kill the whole entire covenant
