Next album = "The Peel Sessions 1988-90 " (1993)"War Master" is a Bolt Thrower album, recorded at Slaughterhouse studios in September 1990, produced by Bolt Thrower and
Colin Richardson . It is released onEarache 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.
Recorded and produced by Bolt Thrower and Colin Richardson at SlaughterhouseStudios, September 1990
