Bolt Thrower
Mercenary

I needed this album to complete my Bolt Thrower collection. To me Bolt Thrower is the AC/DC of Death Metal. They are consistent and when you put on one of their albums you know exactly what you are getting: RIFFS

Not a bad album by one of the most famous death metal bands from England. I recommend it only for fans

A very heavy album ... Nowhere can anyone meet such a severity. It was here that Bolt Thrower achieved the clearest and most legible sound of guitars, previously it was more blurry. Vocals are very much in the subject: hard, dry, albeit not very loud growling. The feeling of despair and anger is felt 100% here. The composition "Powder Burns" is simply amazing in its gloom and hopelessness. There is a melody here, but not everyone will be able to "enter" it. The album I’ve been listening to from beginning to end for the past five years, and it doesn’t bother me.

From my point of view, "Mercenary" is a strong, homogeneous album. All the elements that make a Bolt Thrower album are there: dense guitars playing groovy riffs and Karl Willets' deep guttural vocals spewing war obsessed lyrics. It is a worthy addition to the spectacular discography of Bolt Thrower. It has the signature Bolt Thrower sound and all the bells and whistles associated with a Bolt Thrower record and it is no worse than any of the previous records.
