Bio:
DUST BOLT is a Thrash Metal Band, formed in Bavarian town Landsberg am Lech. The four young musicians (age in average 21) already started playing music together and playing shows very young and early and quickly gained attention. With another bandname they started playing regional shows at first, but were able to play as support act for highly known bands such as Sepultura, Hypocrisy oder Napalm Death very soon. In 2010 they released their first Demo Tape „Chaos Possession“ single-handedly and first time with the name DUST BOLT. Metal Hammer Germany described the Band as Top Newcomer Act in Metal music and Chaos Possession was titled as „Demotape of the month.“ The number of shows increased immediately and the band soon becomes a national known act, when DUST BOLT was able to play theier first European Tour with Six feet under and be the winner of WACKEN METAL BATTLE Germany, which made them playing at Wacken Open Air. The band decided to record their first Longplayer „Violent Demolition“, which finally made them signing a deal with Napalm Records. The debut gained major success and was sold over 5000 times so far worldwide and DUST BOLT was now known as top newcomer act in Thrash Metal in Germany and all over the world, also resulting from their extraordinary live performances. Napalm records also released the first two official music video for the tracks „Violent Abolition“ and „Toxic Attack“ and the band is able to play many club and festival shows in 2013, a Germany Tour with OBITUARY and a long European Tour with Bay Area band HEATHEN, which also made them a highly international known act. After being nominated for „best album 2012“ and „best newcomer“ at Metal Hammer Awards 2013 and another tour with Crossover band Dr.LIVING DEAD Lenny Breuss, Flo Dehn, Benedikt Münzel und Nico Remann went into the studio again, to record their second album „AWAKE THE RIOT“, which is going to be released 30.05.2014 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and 10.06.2014 in the rest of the world. The album will be promoted by Headliner-Shows in Germany, festivalshows and another planned European Tour.
Album:
German outfit DUST BOLT have been making steady progression through the hotly contested ranks of thrash metal. It’s been a minute since they graced us with 2019’s Trapped In Chaos but 2024 is looking to be an exciting year for the band with a string of touring and festival appearances heading their way. In addition to this, they have now unveiled their fifth full-length effort entitled Sound & Fury via AFM Records – a release that is definitely going to divide opinion.Leave Nothing Behind kicks things off with an abundance of punchy grooves. Energetic drum beats and a simmering aggression get the momentum shifting. I Witness throws some addictive thrash riffing into the mix. The combination of heaviness and gritty melodic vocal tones proves to be a potent duo. I Am The One offers up the ideal opportunity for crowd participation. The stomping 80s style tempo will definitely get some fists pumping and heads banging.New Flame sprinkles some technical flair amongst the raunchy metal vibes whilst Burning Pieces is another certified anthem waiting to be unleashed to a hungry live audience, with plenty of memorable hooks to sink your teeth into. Title track Sound & Fury provides a surge of intensity with a mammoth opening riff before transitioning into emotive vocal passages and infectious, accessible melodies. Bluedeep keeps the upbeat energy flowing with buoyant instrumentation.Disco Nnection opts for a nostalgic heavy metal approach, big sounding riffs and a mainstream friendly demeanour. The lyrical delivery may make you cringe in places but it serves its purpose. You Make Me Feel (Nothing) introduces some dark, doom-ridden tones, linking up with the clean vocal stylings to great effect. Feel The Storm ebbs and flows between lighter and darker shades with a distinct catchiness rising to the surface. As we approach the closing stages Little Stone takes a particularly melancholic turn; solemn sentiments take the lead in this vocal-driven piece and it’s a slightly puzzling choice to depart on this note.Sound & Fury is the epitome of a ‘marmite’ album, you’ll either appreciate it or want to immediately erase it from your memory. It takes some serious courage to throw caution to the wind and just write what feels right. A lot of bands are scared to take that leap for fear of rejection. For this alone, DUST BOLT must be commended. It may not be groundbreaking or turn a sea of heads but it’s a solid outing and it will be intriguing to see where this newfound confidence with experimentation leads for the band going forward.
