Very good album.

This album is rock solid. If I were to recommend a starting point for someone curious about death metal, I'd probably tell them to start with this album.

Excellent album, and key to exactly what Bolt Thrower do well and have done ever since they formed. 'The killchain' and the title track are just belligerent.

Groovy death metal finesse right here
Cool fact that no one gives a damn about: the intro to "The Killchain" is identical to that of "Embers" on The IVth Crusade.

This album definitely has that brutal and intense sound characteristic of Bolt Thrower. The problem for me is that it sounds a lot like their previous releases, but does not have any memorable songs.

How could I have ever initially thought that this album was even close to being mediocre.
I have always been so wrong about that (well, problem probably was that last time I have listened to it properly -- or obviously even not that properly -- might have been some ten years ago or so).
When canons fade is my favourite track.

Their best IMO. Standout tracks for me are At First Light and The Killchain - some seriously headbangable riffs in these.
9.0/10

I thought For Victory was that good it would be the peak album in their career, never to be bettered, but then this monster came along, and imo beats For Victory by a small margin.
One of my all time favourite death metal releases, the vocals and lyrical war themes are truly amazing, and captivating, the riffs are nothing short of spectacular, and every song is enjoyable to listen too, but if I had to pick my favourites they would be; "When the Cannons fade", "The Killchain", "Granite Wall" and "Anti Tank", but a consistent album throughout.

Even though Bolt Thrower has a formula (heavy riffs, war lyrics, etc), that formula is SO GOOD! I'll never get tired of listening to those badass riffs!

I think The Killchain was inspired by Quake 2 soundtrack. Sounds very similar.

While IVth Crusade and ...For Victory have great standout tracks (for example the respective title tracks), I find Those Once Loyal is Bolt Thrower's most consistently great album!
The growls are refined and streamlined, never showing any weakness! The heavy riffs throughout are engaging and the guitar solos are fun as well! Listening to the entire atmosphere, I'm truly mesmerized - as I'm crushed by the tanks and hearing the cannons fade...
what a beautiful farewell from the warriors of death metal!
