BOLT THROWER - Those Once Loyal

In another review, I read someone comparing Bolt Thrower to AC/DC in that no matter what, you know what to expect with a new release by the band. Once again in "Those Once Loyal", Bolt Thrower releases an album full of war metal anthems that have death metal vocals backed by some punishing metallic riffs. Musically, Bolt Thrower could be compared to perhaps the later works of Metal Church crossed with the later Slayer releases. Karl Willetts returns to the band as lead vocalist. Considering the band has been flying the banner of death metal for nearly 20 years, Bolt Thrower has seemingly never swayed from their roots and continue to release the type of material their fans expect.
