BOLT THROWER drummer Martin “Kiddie” Kearns died last September at the age of 38. He died peacefully in his sleep after feeling sick at rehearsal.
The last three albums from BOLT THROWER — “Mercenary” (1998), “Honour Valour Pride” (2001) and “Those Once Loyal” (2005) — were reissued on vinyl on October 24, 2011 via Metal Blade Records. All three albums were released as gatefold LPs in colored vinyl, limited to 1,000 units each.
BENEDICTION’s latest album, “Killing Music”, was released in North America in September 2008 via Locomotive Records. The follow-up to 2001’s “Organized Chaos” was produced by ANAAL NATHRAKH mastermind Mick Kenney and features several guest musicians, including Karl Willets (BOLT THROWER), Kelly Shaefer (ATHEIST), Billy Gould (ex-FAITH NO MORE), The Fog (FROST), Markus Staiger (Nuclear Blast Records owner) and Thorsten Zahn from Metal Hammer Germany. A limited-edition version of the album includes two bonus tracks and a DVD.
