Honour – Valour – Pride
Honour – Valour – Pride is the seventh album by British death metal band Bolt Thrower, released in November 2001 on Metal Blade Records. It was recorded and mixed at Sable Rose Studios in Coventry between June and September that year, with the band producing alongside Andy Faulkner.
It follows Mercenary (1998) and comes before Those Once Loyal (2005), and it marks a change in the line-up. Karl Willetts is absent, making this the only full-length Bolt Thrower record without him, and Dave Ingram takes his place for what remains his sole album with the band. It also introduces Martin Kearns on drums. For anyone tracing how the group's sound shifted with its personnel, this is the record to hear.
