Shouldn't Bolthrower be considered as 1 of the forerunners of Brutal Death Metal. They met the criteria well before Suffocation, they may not have the Sick Vocals, but they had the blast beats , and chug breakdowns. When I listen to Bolthrower I don't wish they would be Heavier. I listen to a lot of Brutal Death Metal, and I find Bolthrower just as satisfying
Back in 91 I wrote into MTV for a triple thrash treat which they played & Bolt Thrower “ cenotaph “ was on my list of 3, still a great song to this day.
@Death4Metal46by the way I like your death metal list but it is by no means the best, here is a more definitive list - ru-vid.com/group/PL_HzHudOtxbXrSCPvW5C2ZqrRALPzMvIv
Karl's great but it did make me laugh when he was talking about writing lyrics. His lyrics use a vocabulary of about 40 words. Still my favourite death metal band though and I miss them greatly.
