Bolt Thrower - The Peel Sessions 1988-1990
Review: Early Bolt Thrower reveals more of its origins in 1980s music, namely a sound like the collision between early Nuclear Assault, Amebix and Slayer.
Given that those bands represented the most outside music to continue using its brain, it was not a bad choice, and over the course of these 11 tracks Bolt Thrower hammer it into place as more than a rotation of influences, but the origins of a style that would eventually (on 1989's Warmaster) anneal into a smoothly integrated artistic voice.
1. Forgotten Existence (3:58)
2. Attack In The Aftermath (3:30) 
3. Psychological Warfare (3:27)
4. In Battle There Is No Law (4:13)
5. Drowned In Torment (3:09)
6. Eternal War (2:29)
7. Realm Of Chaos (3:03)
8. Domination (2:44)
9. Destructive Infinity (4:17)
10. War Master (4:32)
11. Afterlife (4:35)
12. Lost Souls Domain (3:58)
These tracks from the first three albums, mostly the first, show a more streamlined and less chaotic version of the sound transitioning from the first to second albums, and bestow insight like any live appearance of a band does, revealing both more efficiency and a greater rhythmic flexibility, but ultimately do not differ significantly from the album versions.
