Bolt Thrower

Ok kids, it's Bolt Thrower today - British old-school death metal.  Of interest to those of you who are ladies (and those of you who are not), Bolt Thrower has had Jo Bench representin' on bass since it started in 1986; to me, this shows that there have always been bands that aren't skeptical/excited to see a woman bass player show up to audition, but rather relieved to have the vital bass position filled with a competent player when they hear one.  And if, somehow, even this comment is sexist, then I just don't know what to do.  On an unrelated note, a bolt thrower is a type of medieval siege engine, and every Bolt Thrower song is about Warhammer.  If you don't know what that is, it means you're not a gaming nerd; I assure you, this will have no effect on your enjoyment of the band.  If you do know what Warhammer is, that does NOT mean there is something wrong with you; on the contrary: it means you have found your tribe.  CRANK IT!
