At last, the mighty Bolt Thrower have returned, with their inimitable style of pounding extreme Metal. 'Those Once Loyal' is Bolt Thrower's 8th full length studio album, and longtime fans of the band (such as myself) will have a fair idea of what to expect - mainly midtempo, crushing yet groove-laden Metal with great riff after great riff, complete with Bolt Thrower's own unique sense of melody. Although the standard version of this album has 9 tracks, the digipak (which I was lucky enough to get) also has a bonus track entitled 'A Symbol Of Eight'. Needless to say, it's worth obtaining the digipak if you get the chance. Read more ›› |

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.

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, but this 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 amazing, and the riffs are outstanding, 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".

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!
