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 ›› |

While many bands seem to take the path of becoming a shitty legacy act, touring and making uninteresting "return-to-basics" albums until one of the members drops dead and nobody else has enough left in the tank to bother looking for a replacement, the same cannot be said for Bolt Thrower, who, after releasing this album, decided they had recorded something so good and so perfect that there was no longer any point in recording more material.

For years & years I used to say IVth Crusade was the best Bolty album, but I genuinely think it's this now. Absolutely crushing and all killer, no filler 🤘

I was literally listening to them as I saw this comment, and I have to agree, this album is their best, and also one of the best DM albums ever made. My personal ranking would be: 1. Those Once Loyal 2. For Victory 3. IVth Crusade 4. Warmaster 5. Realm Of Chaos 6. Mercenary 7. In Battle There Is No Law 8. Honour - Valour - Pride 2 and 3 could've gone either way but For Victory just edges it for me due to the title track. I don't think they ever released a bad album though personally.
