Bolt Thrower to stop recording indefinitely

[Zephyrus]

Or tour the US, please???

 

[False Joe]

Tour the UK tbh.
A really big one.
The US is gay. Apparently not many people turned up to a Sabbat tour in the US. You don't deserve good bands.

 

[Zephyrus]

Even the US bands snub New England quite frequently.

Gutted I guess.

Suppose it's even worse for you lot. I'm complaining about a 2 or 3 hour train ride.
Stuff for you is like 6 hours drive

 

[Zephyrus]

The closest big name band venue is in Worcester, Massachusetts, more than three hours to drive. I've got tix to go down there in two weeks for Kataklysm, Vader and Cryptopsy.

just when i got into them. for fucks sake.

And now you won't have to watch them degrade into shit ala Cryptopsy, Metallica, Slayer, etc etc.

 

[Faint]

Hope they do a Uk tour.
Legendary band.

good point

There are tons of bands out there you can get into that aren't active anymore. And this band has plenty of quality releases to keep you satisfied for years.

 

[Slayed Necros]

What a class act.

 

[waif]

I'd like to see them sometime. Good band. I think it was a wise decision. My interpretation was that if they manage to write something they think is better than Those Once Loyal, they'll by all means release it.
Also, I think covers albums are cool, but that's just me.

 

[Belligerent]

In rememberence of Bolt Thrower.

[The Ozzman]

That is awesome. The look on the bass player's face is priceless

 

[~Neurotica]

Don't they have a female bassist?

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, Jo Bench is the bassist (duh :/)

Maybe that's the guitarist then

The way things have been going, this seems like more of a "when hell freezes over" scenario than with most bands. The way they operate seems different from most bands of their status. Printing their own shirts, touring during times of the year when most bands don't come around to ensure a better draw, working out back door deals with promoters to keep show prices low. Respectable, but it's certainly made them kind of elusive just the same. Apparently the guys at MDF have pursued them in the past to no avail, and then there was the whole fiasco a couple of years ago where Metal Blade wouldn't finance their planned US tour (I'd imagine since the label can't recoup nearly as many profits if the band prints their own shirts). They seem to very careful about decisions like that, as I've been told they always turn a profit on tour. Besides, they did lose their asses the last time they came over here. Sucks for sure, but I can't really fault them.

Yeah, bassist on the left.

I wasn't aware of this. That's really cool. But also sucks.

 

[Zephyrus]

When did they tour here?
