Following their latest, much discussed studio album ‘Sound & Fury‘ (released in February 2024 on AFM Records, order here), German metal frontrunners Dust Bolt have joined forces with fritz-kola for an exclusive unplugged session!
The exclusive fritz-session was recorded at renowned venue Backstage in the band’s hometown Munich, Germany.
Dust Bolt‘s frontman, Lenny Bruce, comments:
“Cheers to fritz kola, where the fizz of creativity meets the acoustic groove of ‘Disco nnection‘! Check out this sick and funny performance, where music dances to its own beat!“
The acoustic version of ‘Disco nnection‘ is now available on all digital streaming providers – here
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. ‘Sound & Fury‘ refines and noisily redefines the band’s sound for a new era.
“The entire album ‘Sound & Fury‘ is an ode to creativity,” Lenny recently said. “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.”
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.
“‘Sound & 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 & 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.”
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!
