Perfect in time for their tour kick-off with BLACK BOMB A and SPACE OF VARIATIONS, today, German metal frontrunners DUST BOLT have unleashed “Who I Am”, a previously-unreleased gem taken off the band’s “Trapped In Chaos” album recordings!
“‘WHO I AM’ is a thrash hardcore banger that we recorded during the sessions for our 4th album *TRAPPED IN CHAOS*. The song kind of got lost in the archives at some point, but when I stumbled across it again this year, I thought, “This is a pretty cool tune, and it would suck not to show it to the fans and not release it.” Being on tour with a special lineup featuring BLACK BOMB A and Space of Variations this fall/winter, which will definitely introduce DUST BOLT to a new audience, it felt like the right time to present “WHO I AM.” I think the title fits perfectly, and we are very excited to add it to this very special setlist that we’re going to play on this tour. See you all on the road. The Bolt is on fire!”
Since their formation in 2007, DUST BOLT have been resolute and ruthless in their pursuit of metal glory over the last 16 years. Childhood friends with a collective passion for metal in all its various forms, the quartet have established themselves as one of Europe’s leading thrash metal bands. Theirlatest, much discussed studio album Sound & Fury (released in February 2024 on AFM Records, order HERE), refines and noisily redefined the band’s sound for a new era.
Written during those isolated months of pandemic lockdown, Sound & Fury represents the peak of the band’s creativity, and a major leap forward in every department. The first DUST BOLT record to feature new bassist Tom Liebing, alongside Lenny Bruce, guitarist Florian Dehn and drummer Nico Remann, Sound & Fury grew from a long period of self-reflection that began when the world shut down.
Although still rooted in thrash and old school metal, the new record adds dazzling colour and diversity to the band’s trademark sound. With pummelling grooves, spine-tingling dynamics and a startling, part-melodic vocal performance from Lenny Bruce who also produced and recorded the album, with an analogue mix by Moritz Enders [Revolverheld, Silbermond], the new songs mark the beginning of a new era of DUST BOLT destruction!

Following their latest, much discussed studio album Sound & Fury (released in February 2024 on AFM Records, order HERE), German metal frontrunners DUST BOLT have released a live version of their 2010-track “Children of Violence”!
The song is now streaming below, furthermore, the band has announced a series of tour dates with HAVOK, and will play many more shows this year. Find all upcoming DUST BOLT live dates listed below!
DUST BOLT’s frontman, Lenny B., reveals:
“Bam! The song “Children of Violence,” originally from the first demo EP “Chaos Possession” from 2010, is one of the band’s earliest creations and holds almost symbolic significance for us and our early companions! Now, it is released exclusively as a live version on AFM Records! The Chaos Possession EP is in very few hands and is practically unavailable anywhere. That’s why it was especially important for us to release a fresh version of “Children of Violence” as a special gift to our loyal fans and supporters! Check out CoV live in Amsterdam and feel the vibe!”

Childhood friends with a collective passion for metal in all its various forms, the quartet have established themselves as one of Europe’s leading thrash metal bands. Their latest album, Sound & Fury,refines and noisily redefines the band’s sound for a new era. UK magazine The Razors Edge wrote, “with their fifth album set for release, this could well be their breakthrough moment”, while Rock Hard Germany is convinced that “Sound & Fury is an album that is as bold as it is varied and unconventional”.“A strong, enthralling and varied album!” said Zephyrs Odem, and also Musikreviews.de confirmed, it’s a “brave album and artistically valuable.”

The first DUST BOLT record to feature new bassist Tom Liebing, alongside Lenny Bruce, guitarist Florian Dehn and drummer Nico Remann, Sound & Fury grew from a long period of self-reflection that began when the world shut down.
“Sound and Fury was created during the probably darkest and most difficult time for the band.” Lenny revealed earlier. “First time in our lives, since we were kids, we were somehow separated from another and the dream we lived together seemed to stopped. It was during the pandemic days, when the band even decided to take a break from one another, when Flo came up with this beautiful piece of music – not knowing how he would channel and express our feelings, leading to LB putting some Dust Bolt unusual, but heartfelt vocals on it and having Nico introducing a disco beat to a metal song in the end. We didn’t know what was happening – we just did it. We did know, there’d be a million voices saying we can’t put this up on a Dust Bolt record. But more than that we knew „as long as we stick together, we can do anything the *** we want“ . Sound and Fury is a story about friendship, struggle & inner turmoil. SuF is a story about us. SuF is a different, open and honest Dust Bolt, sharing their emotion with you and your friends.”

German modern metal act DUST BOLT have unleashed their brand new, much discussed studio album, Sound & Fury, out now on AFM Records and available at https://dust-bolt.bfan.link/sound-fury
Since their formation in 2007, DUST BOLT have been resolute and ruthless in their pursuit of metal glory over the last 16 years. Childhood friends with a collective passion for metal in all its various forms, the quartet have established themselves as one of Europe’s leading thrash metal bands.

To celebrate today’s record release day in style, followed by an extensive touring schedule with live dates in Europe but also in support of SUICIDAL ANGELS on their upcoming UK tour in April (find all current & upcoming DUST BOLT shows listed below!), now, the band is presenting the song “I am the One”, an anthemic new single fusioning thrash metal with grunge and even blues rock! Frontman Lenny B. comments:
“‘I am the One’ is a example of my favourite styles of music, and so on my roots, combined into one heavy song. I had a of friend of mine, who is now actually the bassplayer in Dust Bolt haha, saying to me: just do what you love, man, and combine it! If not you, who else can bring the blues into Thrash?! That was really inspiring to me. It hit the message of the whole album 100 percent. So I kinda did that, went over to the boys and said „let’s jam, I got somethin here!“
“The entire album SOUND & FURY is an ode to creativity,”Lenny adds.“We all are special. Each and everyone of us has got its own story to tell. We finally did that. We’re not trying to be like others. We don’t copy. We try to be our truest selfs we can possible be. Without limits. That’s Sound & Fury. And that’s what Dust Bolt stands for.”

Following a series of previously-released singles, today, DUST BOLT are sharing their album opener “Leave Nothing Behind”! Frontman Lenny B. comments:
“Leave Nothing Behind is the opening track of our new album and is quite powerful! The song is possibly one of my absolute favorite DUST BOLT songs. It combines the energy and brutality of our previous works with the melody and catchiness of the new songs and well, what can I say… it’s the mix that counts!
Leave Nothing Behind was also the first song we gave to Moritz Enders (mixing & mastering engineer / Berlin) and got back finished. By then I knew: He was the right man for Sound & Fury! Now we can’t wait to present the song live!”

February 23, 2024 will see German metal frontrunners DUST BOLT strike back with their new studio album, Sound & Fury, via AFM Records, unleashing a record that refines and noisily redefines the band’s sound for a new era! To pre-order your album copy, visit https://dust-bolt.bfan.link/sound-fury
Following previously-released album appetizers such as the furious title track, or songs such as “I Witness”, “New Flame” and the powerful metal-meets-hard rock anthem “Burning Pieces”, today, DUST BOLT are premiering a music video for their new single “Disco Nnection“!
“What should I say about Disco nnection?! I think the song says it all. This tune takes you to the depths of Munich‘s night clubs and Freddie‘s legacy. Munich is a holy place – somehow- when it comes to music history. Queen, Zeppelin, Rainbow, .. they all recorded their albums – and partied here.” DUST BOLT frontman Lenny B. explains.
“During the pandemic I became really attracted to the world of Quincy Jones‘ music & work. I kinda fell in love with 70s music, listening to a lot of disco, pop & soul from that era. They all had at least one thing in common: great musicianship & magical musical passion on their instruments and as a band playing together.
The next day I stepped into the rehearsal room, we had this heavy riff. Straightforward. Metal as hell.
It was obvious. We needed to add a Disco beat. Disco & THRASH? Yep. When everybody says, something can’t be done, all you gotta do is turn around and say ‘watch me’. The defiance against conventional norms adds a powerful touch, echoing the spirit of innovation & Rock’n’Roll.“
Formed in 2007, DUST BOLT have been resolute and ruthless in their pursuit of metal glory over the last 16 years. Childhood friends with a collective passion for metal in all its various forms, the quartet have established themselves as one of Europe’s leading thrash metal bands.
