BOLT THROWER were recently interviewed by Kevin Page over at Metal Review, and piped up regarding their disdain for the labels they are currently working with. Excerpts from the interview are below:

Metal Review: Since Metal Blade is not giving you any tour support for the US, was this something they promised when you signed on with them?

Karl Willets: Yes, it’s all there in black and white. We were to get tour support for any territory which was “new” for us. We were quite surprised and felt it was shortsighted that they pulled tour support for America. America we consider a new territory since we haven’t been there in twelve years. So we’re dealing with that at the moment. The next album might be with another label but I won’t say anything more than that (smiles).

Metal Review: Did you already have a tour set, dates, bands, etc.?

Karl Willets: Yeah, we had a tour planned with *Malevolent Creation*. They are top blokes and we were really looking forward to it. We had organized our schedule around it for six weeks. We’re thinking of negotiating our way out of the contract. Getting signed to another label wouldn’t be a problem as we have a few already sniffing around us.

Metal Review: Who do you like less these days, Metal Blade or Earache?

Karl Willets:  Fucking Earache. On a personal level we get along pretty well with Metal Blade. Earache is just an “Assache” as I call them. They’ve re-released */Realm of Chaos/* with a new sleeve without our permission and a compilation album */Who Dares Wins/* without our permission. They are not liked by us and have no respect from me.
