Anything from the Bolt is worth 5 stars. No kidding. It is just one the most consistent and uncompromising acts ever. A funny thing - they do sound repetitive, especially on their earlier albums. But that is also one of their biggest strengths. A dude from Sweden's Centinex has said that if you listen to one Bolt Thrower album, you have essentially heard them all. Nonetheless, with every next album there is something that simply mezmerizes, so you want to listen to it over and over again. "The IVth Crusade" is no exeption.

The IVth Crusade ranks as one of Bolt Thrower's more powerful and consistent albums, raging with venom and unrestrained fury. It's a record that proves why the group was one of the leaders of the underground metal scene of the late '80s and early '90s. Few other groups matched Bolt Thrower in terms of pummeling, harsh sonic brutality, even if they occasionally lacked the skills to craft full-fledged songs and riffs. [The 1996 reissue of The IVth Crusade features two bonus tracks: "Crown of Life" and "Lament."]
