This is incredibly sad.
What a nice way to give a final touch to Martin. It will be tough to carry without him. So, i'm really in one of those who will be in favor discontinuing making music from Bolt Thrower camp.
I hope they will figure it out best for the band soon.

Was to be expected, but sad news nonetheless.

Not at all upset. so many people give bands grief for going on long after the "should have packed it in." to do so after one of their best, and a decade later turn their back on a potential cashgrab to honor their fallen drummer is laudable.

Awful news indeed, but it was kind of expected  Luckily, I saw them two years ago in Vienna and it was a night to remember... Wonderful concert!

On a potential cashgrab?! I don't know what BitterCo meant there.

Maybe they refused a big deal or contract just because they had a find a new drummer. But yeah, not sure what is Craig's source.

A band that can actually respect the death of a member who crafted their sound enough to simply call it quits and let their legacy speak for itself afterwards. Admirable

I'm not too sad either. The band hasn't really done anything in 10 years

Was to be expected, just a matter of time.
I was fine with them just touring occasionally, didn't want a new album or anything. Respecting a legacy, first music wise and then band wise is a rare thing these days. More bands could learn a thing or two from these guys.

No album in 11 years? that isn't a good farewell for a band like bolt thrower. i think they put everything they got in Those Once Loyal and they had nothing more to offer.

Maybe they gave importance to other plans than releasing a new album over 11 years. I read it somewhere BT were concentrating on touring and then during that process, they planned to write new songs for record to drop somewhere between 2012 to 2014. I can't quite actually put a stamp on that fact.
But, everything altered from last year and now put to rest.

They finished on a high note, which is more than a shitload of bands can ever say - big or small, so far I have never seen a band whose LATEST album is their best, except Bolt Thrower with Those Once Loyal.

A bit sad but not really surprising after such a long career. And they finished on a high note (wouldnt say its their best album as that title goes to Realm of chaos)
