Despite the uncompromisingly rough sound and their Crust and Punk influences still being rather obvious, the characteristics Bolt Thrower would go on to be hailed for, are already represented albeit in rather crude form. Rather than to its detriment, it's this very unfiltered roughness that's somewhat missing from their later albums that gives\u003ci\u003e In Battle There Is No Law!\u003c\/i\u003e its special unmistakable charm. Instead of putting emphasis on distinctive melodies and mid-tempo groove, the songwriting leans more towards all-out attack. Karl's vocal delivery is a tad different too, at times abandoning his signature style in favour of vocals more akin to Punk rather than Death Metal. Lyrically already dealing with war in its different dark aspects, the first album's cover depicts a different logo than the rest of their discography. This and the punkish artwork shown on the cover further set Bolt Thrower's first album apart, turning it into a unique full length among the discography of one of Death Metal's most important bands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darkness Shall Rise Production","offers":[{"title":"LP - White","offer_id":56379367096651,"sku":"R5026-8878","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Silver","offer_id":56379367129419,"sku":"R5026-2755","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56379367162187,"sku":"R5026-0188","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56379367194955,"sku":"R5026-0929","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":56379367227723,"sku":"R5026-2865","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/81QdvEKW7eL._AC_SL1200.jpg?v=1769342517"},{"product_id":"honour-valour-pride","title":"Honour - Valour - Pride","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith their sixth album \u003cem\u003eMercenary\u003c\/em\u003e, Bolt Thrower raised the bar damned high.
