Mercenary

This is what death metal should sound like! Crushing, heavy, and will vocals that sound as if a guy got fused with a lion then let a blood-chilling and hair prickling roar! Karl is in top form here, his vocals are amazing and he just come at you with them like a MERCENARY on a mission to growl and destroy!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Alright what I said may not have made any sense, but I don't care this album is good and you'll buy it if you have any taste in metal at all.

Product arrived fast and in great shape!! A must CD for anyone who likes Bolt Thrower! Looking forward to my next Bolt Thrower!

I listen to this as i slaughter green skins n xenos in the name of the god king emperor.

Classic BT.

As death bands go, Bolt Thrower doesn't get a lot of press, but in the UK they're pretty big, which stands to reason as they're from Coventry. To look at the cover and logo one might thing you'd be dealing with a Priest/Sabaton power metal or eighties thrash album, but you'd be wrong. Having never heard them before but knowing of them and a good rep, I found this CD supposedly used but looked like it had never been played or very little. I suspect the buyer was expecting more traditional metal, instead of the deathfest that resides in the binary codes. Bolt Thrower were a punk hardcore style band at first, but with time honed their axes, tuned them down, and by "Mercenary", have developed a sound that goes down well with those who like bands who tread the blurry lines of a style of metal too categorized for its own good. I immediately appreciated the tone of the guitars, thick and doomy, reminiscent of "Arise"-era Sepultura, and the thrash influence of those legendary outfits who also showed just how closely related thrash and death ultimately are, usually the only difference being grunted vocals, like Slayer, Exodus or Sodom, to name a few. One the death side, you can also put Bolt Thrower in the Carcass/Vader vein, and be just as accurate. Which means to say after all these comparisons is that "Mercenary", while not exactly creating anything unusual, are a reliably heavy chopping forge hammer of a band, no fancy frills, or excessive lead guitar wanking, solos being slower and melodic, a nice touch, heavy as any doom band and enjoyable, the lyrics of the album subject matter notwithstanding, which you have to read, as the grunt vocals are hard to understand, but that's death metal for you.

awesome album

this record is one that i can listen to over and over i really like zeroed and powder burns the drumming is exceptional ben

Easily one of the best death metal albums ever if you get tired of hearing the same old thing in the death metal genre. Really doomy edge, with enough groove and interesting twists on the usual stuff to keep things moving. Great album.

Cd acquistato il 24 marzo, ricevuto il 5 aprile, con 6 giorni di anticipo rispetto alla data indicata. Condizioni perfette, pellicola protettiva. Prezzo buono (4,83€), considerato che è introvabile (almeno nei pochissimi negozi rimasti). Buono il giudizio sul venditore zoreno-italy. Per quanto riguarda la musica: death metal classico, potente e possente. Il booklet contiene i testi. Stay Metal.

Another nice addition to my Bolt Thrower collection!.

Siempre brutales!!!!

Top album !

Mon premier bolt thrower en vinyle. Un bon death metal anglais qui envoie du lourd. Un son au top
