Bolt Thrower

Death metal band from Coventry, formed in 1986.

Key members include: Karl Willetts - vocals, Barry 'Baz' Thomson - guitar and vocals, Gavin Ward - guitars, Jo Bench - bass and Martin Kearns - drums.

The band initially got noticed from being signed to archetypal thrash-metal label, Earache Records and having their second album sleeve (for 1989's 'Realms of Chaos') designed by the modelling and gaming retailer, 'Games Workshop'(John Sibbick).

They recorded 3 John Peel sessions between 1988-90.

Other album releases include "War Master" and "The IVth Crusade".
