Mortified by the lack of conscience Our sanctity bears no relevance Insignificance is our existence Hear the litany of life's persistence Our pleas for mercy fall upon unhearing ears Take my life, my soul, and wipe away these bitter tears Vanquished in the name of your god One of the same to whom we all pray Vanquished in the name of your god One of the same to whom we once prayed Try to close my mind - From the screams I hear Repentance is denied, the conformation of my fear
This is the real shit right here. I'm so sad that I didn't ever hear about Bolt thrower until today. I have so many albums and good music to catch up on now.
Its NEVER too late. I've always loved hard rock and thrash but didnt go full blown Death Metal til my early 30s and Black Metal early 40s! Get out there and absorb as much as u can. And dont worry....Death Metal is not dying anytime soon. Still going strong since its inception over 30 years ago.
@@darkshark1997 They are usually labeled as death metal. In my ears, they always had a doomy feeling as well. One of the most consistent bands in extreme metal history, if you prefer
Yeah, so many death metal bands sell out these days, can't even drive to work without hearing 5 death metal songs on my local radio and I can't even turn on the TV without seeing a video for decapitated's new single. shit..
Amazing gift. I had a step dad who was super into metal and gifted me a BC Rich Warlock guitar and multiple albums with the tabs to play the music. BEST GIFT EVER!
All u fucks couldn't help but but bring up political shit and no most metal and punk bands are neither left or right .... They are anti Government all together . neither Republican or liberal politicians give a shit about anything or anyone but them selves you morons . so keep your left and right political control and divide away from us true metal heads cause we dont like either .
Actually pretty overrated haha, even compared to a popular album like Altars of madness from 89 this is nowhere near its league in terms of musicmanship
The best BT album, educational, heavy, horrific, the first time I ever listened to it the final song gave me chills. War can end if we want it to, we are conscious enough to realise it is wrong to kill our own kind
i remembered blasting some grindcore, death and blackmetal songs and some old hardcore tunes from my mini compo and i put it by the windows directed to the guy next door and some other days in the long road trip with my family just to piss them off, and they got outrageous, and the more they mad and the more people got upset my love to the music has grown bigger and it lead me to dig more of the music. what a nostalgic.
if you could pick a "polished" bolt thrower album it would be this... the display of the groove death and then the element of the double bass bash thrash death... timeless. this will be heavy and good in 30 years, it is just damn a perfection of their sound.
TH-cam had suggested me Bolt Thrower for years, but somewhy i never took the bait- until few months ago. It's been my favourite since then. Really good music.
Bolt Thrower is the most consistent metal band I’ve found. Not every song is astounding, but every song is at least good. Probably my favorite metal band behind Amon Amarth
This album was one of my first cds, and I must have been obsessed with it, cos while I haven't listened in many years, it's all come back to me. Or maybe their riffs are so heavy, they carved indelible trenches in my ears and brain. Marvellous. Even learning some of the tunes.
im 47 and grew up in texas. and a good buddy of mine and myself used to tape trade with people from around the world and this was one of my first nonAmerican albums i picked up along with pungent stench and dismember
When you saw these guys live in little Midlands clubs on the 'Battle' tour you knew you heard something special, then they released albums that sounded like this and you were blown away! My favourite Death Metal band to this day, they were perfect!
I studied in Coventry for 3 years. It's after that stint I realized how this band was able to make such menacing, dark, heavy, void attracting metal. That place will suck the happiness out of any mortal soul.
@@KinoTechUSA69 I'll admit I didn't know that. I'd assume it's because the Church deemed Orthodox Christians to be "pagans" or some bullshit like that.
There was a bit of a Latin/Greek schism building at the time with smaller atrocities on both sides, the 4th crusade was defeated in the field by Muslim forces, when they retreated they went through Constantinople, they looted it and massacred inhabitants and clergy as they went. Many religious icons and works remain in Italy, but many have been returned to various orthodox churches in the last century however, which is encouraging.
As a metal producer (in the early pro tools era) I used to be bothered by the lumpy drumming but as the years have gone on I have come to appreciate how much heavier this album is, due to the musical and HEAVY drumming.
I mean even for a popular eg like Altars of madness which came out in 1989 this album is nowhere near on par with it in terms of musicmanship speaking of osdm lol
Too each their own man. I couldnt pick out a favorite or best from any time period in metal, love it all from this to queensryche to winds of plague to morbid angel to death and so on and so on.
Some of you are pretty cool. Don't go to Constantinople in April of 1204.

ayy lmao
Hahahahaha
ha ha well put don't go to hell either slayer prints and sings an unpleasant pic lol
Every time I listen to this song on TH-cam I scroll down to read this comment again
That opening riff is fucking deadly
True! So true!
It truly is! Raw and powerful.
And so is the lead guitar solo
@Kayden Busch I can agree! My brother is playing on the drums, and i tried to drum this, and i can did it!
Reminds me of Slayer.
Peasants: *listens to Last Stand*
Intellectuals: *listens to this*
To be fair, you have to have a very high musical IQ to understand Bolt Thrower.
Gwyn 107 You have to admit that Last Stand is a pretty fire song
DESTROYERS listen to shadows and dust Kataklysm
Both last stand and the 4th crusade ere good.
@@Hrvo182 bruh
I like the part 0:00 to 4:59
Best part ever!
Me too
Also there's a second best part if you click on Replay button as well 🤘🤘
Agree, 5:00 was sh*t
RIP KIDDIE :( HAIL BOLT THROWER!!!! HAIL OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL!!!
luisangelripper Happy new year 2018 to you, total stranger & fellow metalhead.
Bolt Thrower was the best death metal band by far! it,s a shame they never recorded a proper live DVD!!!
@@aiLoveE, Bolt Thrower, Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Carcass, and Cancer are the best Death Metal bands in my opinion!
@@CatherineLee3000 i would exchange Obi & Cancer for Malevolent Creation & Hypocrisy :-)
@@CatherineLee3000 ...ARE U KIDDING? "CLANDESTINE"...AND FINISH IT.
I was 13 when I bought this album at a store in a street called Crusaders street! My first death metal CD!
That is simply amazing.
Awesome bro! This album means so much to me!
Legend
You chose well-Padawan 🙂
Mortified by the lack of conscience
Our sanctity bears no relevance
Insignificance is our existence
Hear the litany of life's persistence
Our pleas for mercy fall upon unhearing ears
Take my life, my soul, and wipe away these bitter tears
Vanquished in the name of your god
One of the same to whom we all pray
Vanquished in the name of your god
One of the same to whom we once prayed
Try to close my mind - From the screams I hear
Repentance is denied, the conformation of my fear

Thank ye, sir

Steve, and I found BT two weeks ago.
Oh my what a band. Those riffs🖤🖤🖤
@@Avalk9724 I mean even for a popular album like tomb of the mutilated from 1992 has way more advanced riffage than this ;)

@@russellmcgurn4217 well said...i couldn't agree more with you
This record is in my all time favourite Top 10 Death Metal albums...
Their best album. The production was amazing, SO heavy.
the best is ...for Victory
One of the most consistent bands in death metal history. I prefer not to choose a favourite album
@@aacPOTING THIS!
@@aacPOTINGis this really "deathmetal"?

Bro a random metalhead in the park showed that song to me today and I think I am in love.
Those are the best kind lol
A random metalhead is always the righteous metalhead
2:28 is the greatest riff of all time
No, the opening riff is
The opening riff is way better
"Mortified by the lack of conscience'' of this decaying human race.
Thank you bolt thrower

ALL HAIL JOSH BARNETT
@@AeonsONE all hail jo bench. She’s the one who wrote the opening riff
@@joeyuzwa891 yeah, they're talking about the MMA fighter who uses this as his walkout song.
Bolt Thrower throws you into a Melodic Trance
There must be a Bolt Thrower reunion! It's unbelievable that it's been 20 years since the last album.
I say songs like this shouldn't be laid to rest.
Should have ten million views...
be patient i'll get there
A never sold out band! always underground
But still relevant ;)
Fantastic band 8/10 Santas
Not anymore :(
They ll be forever in our hearts. Only respect for true musicians like them.
But they have an awesome music you stupid commercial man
Yeah, so many death metal bands sell out these days, can't even drive to work without hearing 5 death metal songs on my local radio and I can't even turn on the TV without seeing a video for decapitated's new single. shit..
This was the Christmas present I ever received from my dad and my stepmom...so happy I still own it all these years later.
Amazing gift. I had a step dad who was super into metal and gifted me a BC Rich Warlock guitar and multiple albums with the tabs to play the music. BEST GIFT EVER!
@Shoegaze Based Genre I had to edit my, comment...my stepmom was the one who found it at the store so she was the best too r.i.p.
the intro riff is wild!
Bolt Thrower is dead. Long live Bolt Thrower!
Metal is made not borowed...
Well that's quite the oxymoron
we will remember them.
One of the most underated extreme metal bands ever!
Nazis out of the fucking scene!
Julie Davies leftists gotta go first, man

I was in Kick Boxing training when this came out. I ran through Iao Valley in Maui with this.

2:55 surge of energy.
Masterpiece.
A masterpiece in Death Metal

The greatest band I never saw live...
I did, 5 years ago🤘🤘🤘

What an amazing insane guitar tone

Check some deathcore😉

0:01 Most crushing intro of all time.
*L*
Immortal rites intro would crush it to the ground lol
@TheBoi353 because he is typical metal elitist that thinks music is competition... All of his comments are cancerous
I love the solo the song it's like the quintessential old school death metal solo.
One of The best death metal' song
Bolt Thrower is AMAZING.
my friend has been pushing these guys on me forever and I'm so glad I finally gave it a 🎶 listen
im 47 and grew up in texas. and a good buddy of mine and myself used to tape trade with people from around the world and this was one of my first nonAmerican albums i picked up along with pungent stench and dismember
I have given thumbs up to this video long ago and now all of the comments too. Now I have to write my own comment to give more thumbs up.
Bolt thrower 2019 🖤☠️
Xxxfagacion
Best band ever been loving them since I was a teen. 52 now and still love the old thrower!!! Always a warmasteŕ!
Headbanging mania. Adorable and unstoppable x
A masterpiece (The whole album).
When it came out we were floored, 14 years old and this on speakers. 29 years later still rocking it
When you saw these guys live in little Midlands clubs on the 'Battle' tour you knew you heard something special, then they released albums that sounded like this and you were blown away! My favourite Death Metal band to this day, they were perfect!
JOSH BARNETT SENT ME HERE!
I studied in Coventry for 3 years. It's after that stint I realized how this band was able to make such menacing, dark, heavy, void attracting metal. That place will suck the happiness out of any mortal soul.
Saw them live in 1992 and got blown away. Then afterwards met and talked to the singer Karl Willets.
As an orthodox Christian and a 40k player this feels highly relevant.
this song is anti crusades btw❤
@@xpropriation8505 I would hope so lol. Orthodox don't have a positive view of the crusades due to the IVth..

I love this band when first time im listening their for victory...their sound are fucking awesome..
timeless
iconic song of an iconic album of an iconic band
Sooo miss this band!!!!
excellent Death Metal !!just playing for the love of the music \m/
Just found this on one of my old cassettes I'd brought back from Oz. Must be 25 years since I've listened to it!
Love this riff ever since the album came out. Was my song before Rugby and racing. Saw them live and worshipped them🤘❤️🌹💀
Quality!
perfect
Bolt Thrower was the best death metal band by far! it,s a shame they never recorded a proper live DVD!!!
Awesome album....
This is the first song I heard from Bolt Thrower back in the days of ZROCK in austin Texas. Kelly Khaos doing her show "Hard Fast And Nasty"
How i Love this song....
As a metal producer (in the early pro tools era) I used to be bothered by the lumpy drumming but as the years have gone on I have come to appreciate how much heavier this album is, due to the musical and HEAVY drumming.
I wish bolt thrower was more popular its so evil melodic like if Samhain was death metal
Bolt Thrower is the Charles Martel of Metal
Wut?
Karl The Hammer, grandad of Karl The Great (aka Charlemagne).
Every time I hear the opening riff It gives me goosebumps bolt thrower rules 🎸🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is amazing!
Such an underrated band 🤘🤘
pure...this is whats all about... also in 2023... never gets old, never gets boring... straight slow death...
That intro melts
Ivth crusade is pure heaviness
Those once loyal is their best though
Brilliant & Masterful thx Bolt Thrower
This is glorious!
Hail Bolt thrower!
So nasty killer stuff 😈
great amazing!!90"s death metal is prime dm!!!
Such a beautiful day it was.
awesome
yep
Love this band.
Best DEATH metal album from the Early 90's PERIOD ! End of story🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
