BOLT THROWER: 'K-Machine' Featuring Vocalist KARL WILLETTS Posted Online

May 20, 2005

A previously unreleased version of the BOLT THROWER track "K-Machine", featuring vocals by the band's original (and current) singer Karl Willetts, has been posted online at the group's official web site. Download it at this location.

"K-Machine" was originally included on the band's 2001 release "Honor, Valour, Pride", which featured Dave Ingram (ex-BENEDICTION) on vocals.

In a recent interview with BoltThrower.com, Willetts explained how he ended up laying down his vocals on the entire "Honor, Valour, Pride" album shortly after rejoining the group late last year.

"The first thing I did with the band was to re-record my vocals onto 'Honour, Valour, Pride'... which sound fantastic... I enjoyed doing this as it was a perfect re-introduction to the studio. And as we will be performing a number of these songs live, it was a great opportunity to learn them properly and still see if my voice was up to the job... gladly I think it is! No disrespect to Dave, but the album now sounds like the BOLT THROWER we all know and love!! Not sure if these recordings will ever see the light of day, we'll have to see how it goes..."

BOLT THROWER recently entered Andy Faulkner's Sable Rose studios to record their eighth, as-yet-untitled album. The band expect to spend the next three months recording the CD for a tentative October/November release via Metal Blade Records.

Willetts rejoined the group as the replacement for Ingram, who left the band in August 2004 due to long-standing "health and personal problems."
