The mighty and truly inimitable band BOLT THROWER announced that they are disbanding today after over 20 years together. Their genre defying sound was beyond huge. Unlike any other band they mixed a hard charging pace with monolithic riffs but always retained a perfect technical sensibility to their music. Pile onto that their timeless theme of mankind embroiled in endless conflict and war and heralding them as one of the cornerstone metal acts on the last 25 years is academic.
Also... JO BENCH!

How's Bolt handling this, since I haven't seen him talk about any other of our thousands of mutual bands in 15 years.

I'm glad I went to see them and they ripped when I did, but I was never a huge fan. I kind of think their music legacy was largely bolstered because of their incredible band ethic.

I am immensely thankful I got to see them on their 2013 US tour. They fucking FLOORED me.

Thankfully someone posted it to youtube:


The 1:24 mark is so fucking metal my mouth foams every time I watch it.
