Once you get to Bolt Thrower’s 5th album “…For Victory”, there’s not much left to say. Bolt Thrower are one of those bands guilty of writing the same song and putting out the same album over and over. And the song happens to be really good.
The album is scarily consistent, throwing out one riff monster after the next. Each song has a decent variety of speedier aggressive parts and crushing slower/midtempo sections. As always, there’s a very martial atmosphere here, and the dense, rhythmic song structures feel like an enemy invasion. The vocals are fantastic as always, a deep roar that is quite intelligible, like a demonic commander calling out orders. The lyrics here are a bit more realistic than before, and evocative of the more serious catastrophes of war.
If you’ve heard one Bolt Thrower album, you’ve just about heard ‘em all. But when they’re this good, who’s complaining? I’ve got 9 more cuts of Death Metal greatness to add to my forever playlist.

The guitars and music is good, but I don't like vocals on this album by Bolt Thrower

클래식에 바흐의 평균율과 골드베르그 같은 반복되는 멜로디와 리듬의 명곡들이 있다면 데스메탈에는 볼트쓰로워가 있다고 생각되네요. 비슷한듯 하면서 다좋은?

이 밴드의 음반 중 제일 좋아합니다. 방금 사격된 뜨거운 대구경탄을 귀에 억지로 밀어넣는 듯한 묵직함으로 청자를 압도합니다. 많은 분들 말씀처럼 그 무게감은 마치 탱크로 밀어버리는 듯한데, 그 사이에서 발휘되는 장엄한 멜로디가 자아내는 분위기는 이루 설명할 수가 없습니다. 이 밴드는 Obituary와 함께 역사상 가장 무거운 밴드로 뽑혀야 합니다.

Bolt throwers best album. More polished than their more celebrated early albums

To me this is the greatest Bolt Thrower album of all time. The tone of the whole thing is so doomy it's just amazing. And those vocals are sounding better than they ever have. Truely a masterpiece and highly recommended!

Bolt Thrower의 전작들을 들으면서 그들에게 기대했던, 그런 음악. 척슐디너의 Death가 개척한 길을 따라 90년대 초반에 쏟아져나온 (올드스쿨로 불리우는) 데스메탈 밴드들의 명반 행진은, 지금 돌아보면 그 면면이 가히 놀랍습니다. 그중에 한자리 당당하게 이름 올릴수있는 작품으로, 중장비 쇼벨로 밀고, 롤러로도 쓱싹쓱싹 밀어버리는 묵직한 파괴력이 일품입니다.

Bolt Thrower majú svojský akoby valivý Death Metal s typickou paľbou dvojkopákov, zbustrovanými nástrojmi, growling s nádychom revu a ťahavými melódiami/sólami. Podarená hudba v rámci štýlu

확 잡아끄는 맛이 있는 데스 메탈 엘범. 리프 하나 하나에 신경 쓰면서도 비장미 있는 전개/멜로디 라인을 사용한 것이 가장 맘에 듭니다.

불도저... 포크레인...로우더...쇄석기 등등 이들의 음악을 듣고 있으면 각종 중장비들이 달려오는 것 같은 느낌마저 든다. 여타 다른 데쓰메탈 밴드와는 다르게 느림의 미학, 헤비(重)함의 극치를 보여주는 밴드라 생각한다.
