Bolt Thrower were always the second kind. The IVth Crusade, dropped in 1992, is the sound of a siege that never ends, slow, crushing, deliberate, and completely indifferent to your comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere a lot of death metal was racing to be faster and more technical, Bolt Thrower doubled down on weight. The IVth Crusade is mid-paced and merciless, built on riffs that feel like tank treads crossing broken ground. Karl Willetts' vocals sit in the mix like a command being issued rather than a performance being given. The Warhammer 40K imagery was already embedded in the DNA of the band, and this record sounds exactly like that universe looks. Essential death metal from the UK underground, the kind of album that gets name-dropped in interviews by bands who are half as heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUK release. Full length album CD.
