Schlechte Nachricht für Bolt Thrower-Fans: Nachdem es schon länger kein neues Album der britischen Death Metal-Legende gab ("Those Once Loyal" kam 2005 heraus) bestand dennoch die leise Hoffnung, dass, wie die Band meinte, eine neues Album in ihnen stecke …
Am 14.09.2015 war Drummer Martin 'Kiddie' Kearns gestorben. Nun, ein Jahr später kommt die Meldung, die manche schon befürchteten, nachdem Frontmann Karl Willets nun mit Memorian aktiv ist, die Band gab ihr Ende bekannt, hier die offizielle Meldung:
On behalf of ourselves and Kiddie’s family, we would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and support over the last 12 months. Together with Kiddie’s family we made the conscious decision to keep his unexpected death a private matter, and to take time out to deal with it all.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…
Die Death Metaller der RockTimes-Redaktion haben dann gleich mal eine Bolt Thrower-Scheibe eingelegt und sich an die besuchten Konzerte erinnert… die Erinnerung an die legendären Todesmetaller mag nun auf ewig in den 'Realms Of Chaos' nachhallen…
