War Master is the 3rd Bolt Thrower album, recorded at Slaughterhouse studios in September 1990, produced by Bolt Thrower and Colin Richardson. It is released on Earache Records: Mosh 29 in 1991. Whereas Realm of Chaos was dominated by grindcore based blasts and riffs, this album abandons most of the grindcore influences for a sound that is more strictly death metal. Moreover, there is more melody in the music and the guitar solos, although some chaotic solos remain. Cenotaph is a thematic continuation of the song World Eater from the previous record. It shares the opening and ending riffs, and it has some lyrical similarities as well. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
