Bolt Thrower

Bolt Thrower were a British death metal band from Coventry, England. They formed in 1986 and released their first album with Vinyl Solution in 1988. The band moved to Earache Records and became one of the label's best-selling bands. Their last label was Metal Blade Records. The band had a succession of members and toured Europe, the United States, and Australia. Over the course of their 30-year career, Bolt Thrower released eight studio albums, three EPs, one live album, three compilation albums and two demos. Their albums have sold over 100,000 copies in the United States as of 2005. Following the release of their eighth album, Those Once Loyal, Bolt Thrower announced an indefinite hiatus from recording in June 2008, although they continued to tour until drummer Martin Kearns's death on 14 September 2015 and their subsequent disbandment in 2016, on the first anniversary of his death. Bolt Thrower have been called "one of Britain's most consistent and enduring death metal bands."
