Bolt Thrower Frontman Says Band Is Over

(Metal Hammer) Bolt Thrower frontman Karl Willetts has confirmed to Metal Hammer that the band have officially called it a day. The band issued a statement of Friday to pay tribute to late drummer Martin 'Kiddie' Kearns one year after the 38-year-old's sudden death.

While they said they wouldn't ever replace Kearns, it wasn't clear from the statement whether that meant Bolt Thrower would disband. Now Willetts says: "Yes, I can confirm that Bolt Thrower are definitely over for good. There will be no reunion tours etc...no compromise."

Kearns passed away peacefully in his sleep last year after being taken unwell at rehearsal. Bolt Thrower said they wanted to deal with his death privately and take time to consider their next move. Read more here.
