4.0 out of 5 stars so heavy it hurts, January 14, 2003

This review is from: ...For Victory (Audio CD)

Bolt Thrower are pretty much second tier death metal... they've been around forever yet they never get the recognition of say... Carcass. Still, England's history channel fanatics can play some solid death metal and For Victory is straight up brutal. Like whoa. First time I heard Remembrance I was pinned down to the wall. By the time it was over I had whiplash. That song has the heaviest riff EVER penned, and sets the tone for a solid 37 minutes of metal.

Bolt Thrower's style in a nutshell.... heavy as brick riffs over monotonous drums, with fierce growls and the occasional doom break. Indeed, BT's drummer [lacks talent] , and doesn't do much in the way of pacing. Sometimes the tedium of hearing the same song over and over grows old, but standouts like Forever Fallen and slower paced ...For Victory make up for it.

If you like to bang yer head, and do it well, get this CD. It's heavier than hades and has the perfect tempo for nonstop thrashing. I dunno if I'd place it in the death metal classic field, but you could do farrrrrr worse.... recommended for fans of DM in general.

If you're new to this group, then this is definetely their finest hour, I bought this rabid masterpiece more than a decade ago and I am still shocked at the power that it still has compared to most bands now, seriously, this album has it all!! From heart stopping double bass to churning arabianesque style rhythm guitars and vocals that will make you kneel and wide mouthed with astonishment!! It's like a party in your ears and everyone made a pinata out of your eardrums!!
