The impeccable riff factory that is Bolt Thrower just plow through record after record. Their second to last effort, is what I have lined up for today.
Now, Dave Ingram makes his debut with the band on this album, replacing long time vocalist Karl Willets. Due to this fact, a lot of people overlook HVP. But the new kid on the block does his job and does it extremely well. So well in fact that you get familiar with his voice extremely quick and take it as the new standard after a few songs.
The musicianship is everything that you've come to expect from Bolt Thrower. The riffs are crushing, catchy, and provide the patented Bolt Thrower sound that we all love so much. The solos are excruciatingly good, and there is not any point in any of the songs that doesn't make you want to bang your head and go completely batshit. The thick trademark "War Metal" sound carries the songs along and before you know it, the ride's over and you're left standing in line for the next go 'round. Everything is executed flawlessly with nothing left out of place.
If there's one complaint I can make about Bolt Thrower it's that reviewing their work can be somewhat boring. Everything's just so consistently good there's nothing to pick at or make fun of. It's just so extremely solid, solid, solid.
