"The IVth Crusade"
Mortified by the lack of conscience
Our sanctity bears no relevance
Insignificance is our existence
Hear the litany of life's persistence
Our pleas for mercy fall upon unhearing ears
Take my life, my soul, wipe away these bitter tears
Vanquished in the name of your god
One of the same to whom we all pray
Vanquished in the name of your god
One of the same to whom we onced prayed
Try to close my mind - From the screams I hear
Repentance is denied, the conformation of my fear
BOLT THROWER
Karl Willets - Vocals
Gavin Ward - Guitar
Barry Thomson - Guitar
Jo Bench - Bass
Andy Whale - Drums

The opening riff send shivers down my spine. It has been 25+ years. I have lost my hair but never will I lose my metal.

[@rodneyking8896]

One of the best riffs in death metal history.

[@kaszpiboy]

That sound is skullcrushing... it's like an army of tanks marching through a field. I'll never understand how they achieved it. Bolt Thrower are forever the sound of war to me. Excellent band.

Yooooo I always tell my friends...bolt thrower replicated the sound of war! I know what you mean dude.

[@elvisGT]

There is something about Bolt Thrower and I can't explain it but I love it since I was a kid. It's pure death metal. Essence of yesterday, today and tomorrow's death metal. Times has changed, so is music, but Bolt Thrower is always deep in my heart.

More like 80's, these guys have been around a long time. I believe 86'. Their first couple albums didn't sound like this. They were more chaotic and gritty.

[@InfinityCoda]

I started listening to these guys a few weeks ago, and they've already become one of my favorite bands. HAIL BOLT THROWER!

[@mysteriousDSF]

Death and Bolt Thrower are the best Death Metal bands always sending shivers down my spine and tears up from my eyes

[@Murderdronefan85]

When it comes to the purest best Death Metal, it’s Obituary 🇺🇸& Bolt Thrower 🇬🇧

[@Hellacopter79]

With Death and Dismember, that's probably the best death metal band ever.

[@h.194]

I don`t like the voice from Chuck Shuldner, even the music is good.

[@chrisauten2039]

I've always wondered just how heavy a song could get. I've finally found my answer!

[@jaffarshah5024]

This album is part of my fiber. Respect. Hail Bolt Thrower. That opening riff speaks to my being. RIP Martin Kearns.

[@marekstruski1702]

I love the sound of their guitars!

[@brandonhalstrum4276]

Anyone that wants to know what heavy is, they can look no further. Bolt Thrower is the absolute essence of heavy. Hands down. They have been the measure of all metal music to me since I first heard them.

[@kaori_kanzaki]

How come a masterpiece like this gets only 300k views? And garbage like Despacito gets over 5b? This is pure art.

[@teamilicevic4074]

Fucking true and sad ,at the same time.

[@BallinlikeimMj]

Nigga shut up it doesnt matter despacito became a meme and is probably more relatable because theres a bunch of latin americans that dont identify with death metal

[@mysteriousDSF]

But a Bolt Thrower man's attention's worth a million times more than that of a Despacito fan's. So, measured in mind waves, Bolt Thrower is a lot bigger entity

[@kaori_kanzaki]

@@BallinlikeimMj ok but still doesn't change the fact that Despacito is pretty forgettable song.

seen bolt thrower at least 12 times, could be more really, its easy to loose count, first saw them on War master tour (it only cost about 3.50 at the time), just wish i'd seen them earlier tho. This has to be one of my favourite songs by them by all means, and I will always continue to see them live.

[@marioferreira4964]

Only seen them once, after 16 years of wait. It was fenomenal...

[@silafuyang8675]

Pure death metal majesty.

[@neckbreaker094]

I cannot believe such song was on VIVA. I'm a child of 90' but back then I hated everything that had heavy guitars in its music, plus I didn't have the channel myself, so I wasn't able to watch all of the songs that's been played. But my cousin did have it, so I could watch it and the only music I remembered are eurodance songs and Kelly Family.

[@fernando929305]
