Possibly a hot take but Bolt Thrower's best album might be Mercenary. Since The IVth Crusade they had been refining their method of welding catchy, hype-as-**** riffs and melodic flourishes to their rumbling , grinding, tank assault rhythm section and Mercenary is them at the absolute height of their powers of making the absolute most fun death metal look easy with brilliant songwriting. I just can't get enough of this album. I swear to god you can dance to this thing.

It's understandably not as talked about as Reign in Blood, but Hell Awaits should be ranked as one of the classic 80s metal albums. Nothing like Slayer in the morning to get me pumped for the work shift.

Nah, I haven't but that album sounds dope. I've been looking for more first wave Black Metal, and I think I read somewhere that Fenriz didn't start taking Black Metal seriously till he heard Tormentor.

Oh damn I think Focus by Cynic is starting to hit for me. Heard plenty metal albums where they weld some other softer genre onto metal and it can be fun but the issue is usually that it still feels arbitrary to weld the two together but Focus feels like it has a certain verisimilitude between the death metal and jazz fusion that makes it much more compelling. It's too early to tell but I think this album might be ****ing cool as hell.

Alright I'm retracting my hot take on Mercenary being the best Bolt Thrower album cause Those Once Loyal really is just perfect and addictive. Every single song ****ing slaps and I want to do nothing but put every single song on repeat. And a Bolt Thrower album about WW1 is just what a Bolt Thrower album should be about.

A Bolt Thrower craze at the same time I was listening to Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon podcast on WW1 made for a perfect storm to become obsessed with Those Once Loyal, which is all about WW1, the perfect Bolt Thrower war.
