Bolt Thrower - 'Hopefully It Won't Be Another 20 Years 'Till We Hit U.S. Soil Again'


Bolt Thrower After playing a handful of dates in the U.S. last month, Bolt Thrower have issued the following statement:

"Well, we've overcome the jet lag and have been looking back on the killer time we had in the USA.

"The tour didn't get off to the best of starts, though; we turned up at Baltimore not knowing if we could even play due to severe thunderstorms in the area. Thankfully, we eventually got the green light, but the combination of bad weather, poor organization, a town curfew, etc. meant that we only got to play for a chaotic and under-par 50 minutes.

"Luckily the shows that followed were problem free, and we'd like to thank everyone who came along to see us, we were blown away by both the turnout and the reaction each night.

"Teaming up again with the legendary AUTOPSY for the two Californian shows was an absolute pleasure. And, of course, we're very chuffed that we finally got to finish our U.S. business with the BENEDICTION hooligans.

"Cheers to Timmy the Texas Turd, all the local promoters who all helped make the shows even more enjoyable.

"And, as always, massive thanks to our long-suffering crew who continue to help keep the BOLT THROWER machine rolling.

"Hopefully it won't be another 20 years 'till we hit U.S. soil again."
