3 out of 5 stars WHERE ARE THE BLAST BEATS .......2006-01-18

I dont understand how people can say this is Bolt Throwers best release. The vocals are not that great and some of the riffs are downright boring. Dont get me wrong, there are some good songs, however, this album doesn't come close to their previous albums.

As you can see by the title of this review, BOLT THROWER NEEDS TO BRING BACK THE BLAST BEATS !!!

5 out of 5 stars This is their best release.......2006-01-11

I remember first buying this rabid masterpiece ten years ago, I had alrady been a fan of bolt thrower years before this album was released and thought that 4th crusade was the best, mainly cause the vocals were different but once I started listening I fell in love with this psychotic maelstorm of rage and darkness. If you want sheer power than this is for you, forget the" metal " that's supposed to be in now, most of these new acts can't even play leads on any of their albums! P.S. Nelly is my moms name, I'm not a chic ok.

5 out of 5 stars One of the 5 greatest metal albums of all time.......2005-05-05

...For Victory is Bolt Thrower's best album so far (as of 2005)and that is saying a lot. After following up their masterpiece Warmaster with the lower-key The IVth Crusade, Bolt Thrower unleashes their full song-writing potential and musicianship with an album so powerful you won't be able to stop listening to it. If you are looking for an unmelodic technical mess, super-fast speed metal, or keyboard-heavy pop-death metal, stay away from this. Bolt Thrower doesn't sound like anyone else out there. If you like brutal, merciless, original death metal to headbang to, Bolt Thrower is it. Get ...For Victory and Warmaster, crank up the volume of your stereo, and prepare to be annihilated by the war machine that is Bolt Thrower!

1 out of 5 stars NOT GREAT BY ANY MEANS.......2003-06-10

This is not a terrible release but its not that great either. Their are some decent riffs and Andy is on drums which rules but this release falls short compared to other bands . There just nothing new to offer on this release like there was with other Death Metal CD's at the time.

4 out of 5 stars Bolt Thrower Crushes The Opposition.......2002-12-24

For an album that was released nearly ten years ago, you can't help but be amazed at the brutality and quality of the production on this disc. Not only is the production clear, but this is very easily the heaviest, hardest music released by Bolt Thrower, only possibly rivaled by their "IVth Crusade" album.

With "...For Victory", Bolt Thrower refined their sound even more while not sacrificing any of its hard-hitting nature. Starting with the first track and lasting all the way through, "...For Victory" provides an aural assault that won't let down. It is also nice to hear a death metal album that forsakes the traditional Satanic references and focuses more on down-to-earth issues such as the horrors of war and the jeopardy created by weapons of mass destruction. Plus, not only is a fantastic war metal disc, but this album easily rivals more recent war metal acts such as Amon Amarth and Bloodthorn, and to think that this album pre-dates the best releases by those other bands by a number of years!

For those of you interested in great death metal with superb musicianship and themes of war, look no further than Bolt Thrower's "...For Victory". Very highly recommended!

PS - If you like this album, then you should really also check out Bloodthorn's release "Under The Reign of Terror". It's more excellent war metal, though maybe not as fast all the way through as this release.
