I think many of you knows the UK death metal Band - Bolt Thrower, since the late 80's they are demolishing England(and other places in the world) by their war-themed death metal, and those who knows BOLT THROWER should not found unfamiliar with the name - Karl Willetts, the original vocalist since the early beginning of the band. Many fans of BOLT THROWER love Karl's performance and thus becomes somewhat the trademark of BOLT THROWER as well. Like many other bands, Karl did left the band for several years to pursue other matters, and the band recruited some other vocalist when Karl is absent, one of them is Dave Ingram, which is also from another well-known UK death metal band - BENEDICTION(and some other projects too), if you are into UK death metal, this guy again should be very familiar to you.

And Dave did recorded one album - "Honour, Valour, Pride" with BOLT THROWER, and to be frank I think the result is great, this is a fine death metal album, though not groundbreaking, and should please most of the BOLT THROWER fans very well. But then Karl Willetts want to come back to the band, and Dave was asked to leave(this is quite bad in my opinion if I sing in a band and I did the job well and still asked to leave, what do you think??!!??). And this is not the really worst thing, the rest of the BOLT THROWER decided to re-recorded the whole "Honour, Valour, Pride" album, that means totally erased the effort of Dave!!! The is the worst thing I have ever heard from a metal band, first, if the band thinks that Dave is not good enough for their music, when should they still recorded the album with that vocalist?? In my opinion the replacement should be extremely fit to the music, and the recording can start only when everything is extremely fit, I can understand why BOLT THROWER do that if they only formed 2 months without a proper demo recorded. But when BOLT THROWER is such a great band, and established for so many years, they should be very mature when doing the recording things. And another thing is "Respect", well, I don't think Dave's performance is too bad that everything he done must be destroyed, or maybe the band thinks that the name of Dave appeared in the booklet of the album is a shame???? I really cannot understand, but hope that both Dave and BOLT THROWER can produce good music to all of us in the future.
