New site? Maybe some day.

BOLT THROWER have posted the following message over at their official site:
"BOLT THROWER have had to cancel plans to tour the U.S. this year with their 'Those Still Loyal' tour.
Unfortunately their label, Metal Blade Records, refused to financially back the band, i.e. pay towards the flights, etc. Despite trying to work out other ways to make this happen, the band found they were unable to finance a tour of this scale on their own and therefore had to stop any further planning of the tour.
BOLT THROWER apologise to Maurizio and Thunderdome Touring, the promoters/bands who were willing to participate in the tour and their fans in the U.S. who were hoping to finally see them live. Regrettably, it looks like while BOLT THROWER are signed to Metal Blade Records they will be unable to tour the States."

if they were another shitty generic metalcore band Metal blade would've backed it
 @ metalblade |
|
|
too busy dropping loads of money into bands with pretty hair |
|
|
Shhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone, but unlike Metal Blade, we've offered to pay for their flights....Stay tuned..... |
|
|
Ryan, that would RULE!, but I heard nothing ;-)
and yeah, FUCK METAL BLADE! |
|
|
what the FUCKING FUCK is that?? I'm writing a nasty little note to metal blade |
|
|
METAL Blade is too busy supporting their gay fashioncore tours to have any concern about the actual METAL bands on their roster, which are now a secondary source of income.
Fuck off Fasion Blade! |
|
|
sounds like a biased story from the band...who knows what the REAL story is |
|
|
Possibly biased, but it's not the first time they've been screwed out of a US tour since they signed with Metal Blade. |

What is biased about that story?
You really think Bolt Thrower would admit to not selling enough records for Metal Blade to think its worth paying for their plane tickets if it wasn't true?
|
|
|
BOYCOTT!!! Fuck that label!!! |
|
|
obviously metal blade didnt want to put money into a garbage band. THey put them in tour in the u s they wont make any money! It has nothing to do with being a metal core label! Dont hate the music because more people like it! |
|
|
Right, because Bolt Thrower is a 'garbage' band, that's why Metal Blade re-signed them...
Go back to roaming the mall with your iPod and As I Lay Dying .mp3s, genius.
Bolt Thrower would easily draw enough to cover for themselves on a US tour with limited dates in major cities, even more easily on a good package tour. |
|
|
metal blade might be suffering from the roadrunner effect. Im sure u know what im taliking about. All the good bands get pushed aside or dropped to make way for crappier bands. Trustkill, victory, earache,century media,relapse, and even metropolis have done this too |
|
|
And yet, the retro metal is begining to make way to a lot of kids these days, so at least Roadrunner was smart enough to rerelease a bunch of their classic and hard to find material. You'd figure Metal Blade would get a clue that Bolt Throwing would actually pull an crowd or two.
Now I'm waitin for Roadruner to dig up Believer's album from the crypts. |
|
|
I can't find the used bolt thrower tape that I got for about a buck about 7 yrs. ago ? |

Remove your head from your ass vaseline-for-brains. Bolt Thrower are fucking legends and there are tons of metalheads, REAL metalheads who are anxiously waiting to see them.
Anyways, the point is, if a label decides to take a band on, they should be prepared to back them. That goes for tours, marketing,etc. That's part of the deal. If they fail to accomplish that they aren't doing their jobs. |
|
|
Metal Blade doesn't give a fuck if Bolt Thrower can draw a crowd or not.
Metal Blade knows that Bolt Thrower fans are going to buy the new Bolt Thrower album whether they tour or not. Metal Blade also knows that a US Bolt Thrower tour will pretty much only be attended by people who are already Bolt Thrower fans and will not make any new fans. Which means the new Bolt Thrower album is going to sell the same amount of copies whether they tour here or not. That is why Metal Blade sees paying for their plane tickets as a giant waste of money. |
|
|
having them signed to a label is a giant waste of money! Bolt thrower sucks |

You think Earache is getting like that? I thought they were one of the remaining cool labels. I still like Century Media even though they have a million bands on their roster.

Proworld can eat a dick. Go back to the BSR board. |
|
|

|
|

Sucks big time..  |
|

Proworld's an idiot. Bolt Thrower are legends. (so are Blackout Frenzy,lol) The reason labels don't want to support bands is becuase there are a million other shitty bands willing to tour for free and live of ramen noodle. If they sell 1000 cds, the label makes money. Messed up system. www.sines-of-life.com |
|
|
no my friend you are an idiot! anyone who says blackout frenzy is a legend is fucking retard!! if they were legends they wouldnt still be playing in the living room and crappy venues like that! cmon give me a break....this is too easy! and correction bolt thrower cant even sell cd's in their own country let alone a us tour |
|
|
do you play music or just a critic? |
|
|
dont worry about what i do....what do you do? |
|
|
i'm done...Bolt Thrower rules, Proworld does not. |
|
|
BOLTTHROWER RULES SO MUCH THEIR OWN LABEL WONT EVEN SUPPORT THEM TO COME TO THE U S.......O YES THEY RULE ALRIGHT!

One of the gayest shows I ever played was in Auburn NY. Nothing but straight edge vegan faggots who don't think black eyes and bruises on a chick is funny up there.
|
|
|
Auburn, NY was our worst show ever, hands down. |
|
|
we were supposed to play in upstate NY once, halfway there we get a call informing us that the whole thing is cancelled, fuck that place,
also, this PROWORLD guy is so obviously a troll |
|
|
I don't know what he said, I can't hear people who don't like Bolt Thrower. |
|
|
Bolt Thrower is sick. Whats up with that proworld dude. He obvoiusly has no idea what he's talking about. |
|
|
Everyone is just upset why they are not coming to the u s! Everyones mad at the label, if your so pissed write the label bitch and complain to them! COmplaing on a message board aint gonna get u no where! if you guys LOVE bolt thrower why dont you guys pay for their tour! |

|
|
Hahaha
Yeah man!! I have seen the light now! I am down with tha sickness |
|
|
hey its the kids band that sucks! |
|
|
yeah because you have great taste in music. Shouldn't you be putting on your mascara and getting ready for the mall? |
|
|
ha ha ha...thats a good one! the reason why i say your band sucks is because your riffs are steel! they sound like everyother band, the songwriting is just horrible. Instead of getting mad you should apperciate this kind of feedback and improve your music off it! |
|
|
Yeah thanks, I'm going to go back and rework the whole album because some little doosh tells me my band sucks. You've inspired me! |
|
|
good, its good to see i made a difference! |
|
|
Go home and get your shinebox! |
|
|
HEY HEY its blackout dick! |
|
|
hows that shitty label treating you? |
