Es war zu erwarten und nun ist es offiziell:
Die britische Death Metal Institution, die kompromissloseste und beste Death Metal Band ever, wird nach dem tragischen Tod ihres Drummers Martin 'Kiddie' Kearns am 14.09.15, all ihre Bandaktivitäten einstellen.

"When Kiddie joined us back in 1994, although he was only 17, he instantly improved Bolt Thrower as a live band, and no one was more loyal to, and prouder to be in Bolt Thrower than him. We spent over 20 years together, touring the world, with 3 different vocalists, but he was so much more than just a drummer to us. So when we carried his coffin to his final resting place, the Bolt Thrower drummer position was buried with him. He was, and will now forever remain THE Bolt Thrower drummer, our Powerhouse and friend Martin “Kiddie” Kearns.

As for the rest of us, Bolt Thrower has been our way of life for 30 years, never driven by money, fame or ego, but by our own personal principles and values that have guided us through life, and which bonded us as friends long before Bolt Thrower was even formed..."

Legionen von Fans trauern ihren Helden nach...You´ll Never Be Forgotten!"

Bolt Thrower Frontman Karl Willetts wird mit seiner neuen Band Memoriam weitermachen und demnächsten sein Debutalbum via Nuclear Blast veröffentlichen.
