My Take
Karl Willetts is the roaring voice behind Bolt Thrower and Memoriam, and what fascinates me is the contrast. Here's an Englishman, born in 1966 and educated at the University of Birmingham, who chose the most ferocious music imaginable as his medium. I find genuine conviction in an articulate man channeling everything into that thunderous death-metal bellow. People dismiss the genre as noise, but I hear it as an epic of rage and grief, hammered out from the gut. Whatever your taste, there's something to respect in an artist who sings from the very bottom of himself. A real voice needs no justification.
