Bolt Thrower - War Master
1. Intro... Unleashed (Upon Mankind)
2. What Dwells Within
3. The Shreds of Sanity
4. Profane Creation
5. Destructive Infinity
6. Final Revelation
7. Cenotaph
8. War Master
9. Rebirth of Humanity
10. Afterlife
Servings have been spartan in recent times at the .demilich monolith.. So here are the meat and potatoes. Death metal concerned with war, violence and general face shredding are Bolt Thrower's forte, so why not indulge? Since nobody can write a mid-tempo death riff as crushing as the Games Workshop-approved duo of Barry Thompson and Gavin Ward, War Master advances with the sobriety of a Panzer battalion.
Bolt Thrower were never the most brutal, technically proficient (in an overtly masturbatory way), or the fastest band, but I think that's what endears them to me. Bludgeoning riff follows bludgeoning riff. Repeat. Add Karl Willets and you've got an ace BT record. In fact, one of the best. But that's the thing with Bolt Thrower. You know exactly what you're going to get. They are the Motorhead of death metal. You know there will be no surprises, no speed-ambient/doom-folk numbers to throw you out of your groove of pure war metal enjoyment.
Oh, and fucking "Cenotaph".

Hi,hope you dont mind me giving you this.
About a year ago i introduced many blog sites to the British Thrash Metal band TIBERIUM.
Well it's time to give you a link for their Official bootleg - Live At the Purple Turtle 03.03.08.Next month they will be recording their debut album which will be released in July to co-inside with a tour.
Tiberium's brand of thrash is not "Old School" like Evile or Elimination,but is a modern approach drawing influence from the big "4" as well as more progressive bands like 'Opeth'.
If you could put this on your blog it would be much appreciated,if not thank you for your time.
