The band has had a succession of members and have toured Europe, the United States, and Australia.

" Bolt Thrower were formed in September 1986 as a hardcore and thrash metal band, influenced largely by thrash bands such as Slayer and hardcore punk bands like Crass and Discharge.[1] The band was founded by bassist Gavin Ward and guitarist Barry Thomson in a Coventry pub toilet during a hardcore punk gig. Shortly thereafter Andrew Whale and Alan West joined on drums and vocals respectively. In April 1987 the In Battle There Is No Law demo was recorded with this line-up."
Alan West was in Raw Move and the Trash Can Rebels, previously. The legacy of Bolt Thrower continued for the next 25 years with 10 albums and worldwide tours. Bolt Thrower called time in 2016 due to death of their drummer.
