Bolt Thrower....

Bolt Thrower bezig met nieuw werk

In een interview dat Bolt Thrower zanger Karl Willets met MetalReview.com had ga hij aan dat de band momenteel nieuwe nummers schrijft. Ook geeft hij aan dat hij weer helemaal deel uit maakt van de band.

Willets over de huidige stand van zaken: “It looks like we are going to be pretty much writing the album now. Baz already has a few riffs ready to go. We bandied a few ideas around last night, so hopefully we'll have a new album out by the end of the year to follow up the success we had with the last album and push on from there.”

Studio
Willetts: “We are definitely going to go back to Sable Rose Studios where we recorded our last album. It's like a second home to us really, we feel quite comfortable there. Andy Faulkner (producer) is pretty much part of the band really.”

Tussentijd
“After a pretty disastrous U.S. tour in 1994-95, I wanted to go back to the university for three years”, vertelt Willets. “Got my degree in Cultural Studies, which is very nice, but absolutely useless for getting a job. Then I got married, mortgage, blah, blah, blah. Had a normal job for about 4-5 years, that didn't suite me whatsoever. I was working in insurance and kinda resented it."

Terugkeer
"I came back in 1998 to do the 'Mercenary' album because they asked me to. They asked me to rejoin the band, but my head was in a different place and I couldn't commit 100 percent to doing it. I'm always going to be the first choice for the vocalist of Bolt Thrower. It's kinda my job really. So with that thought, it really didn't take me much thinking to grab it and be welcomed back with open arms. It's rare in life to get two chances to do something that you enjoy.”

Altijd mooi om een nieuw album van Bolt Thrower in het vooruitzicht te hebben. Vooral aangezien de band met haar laatste plaat Those Once Loyal zijn mindere voorganger Honour, Valour, Pride heeft doen vergeten.
