Unleashed in 1988 at a time when Death Metal as a genre was still at it's infancy and the vast majority of bands were yet to release their first album, Bolt Thrower's debut In Battle There Is No Law! Already hit the nascent underground with full force. Only preceded by a handful of albums like DEATH's Scream Bloody Gore, NAPALM DEATH's Scum or NECROPHAGIA's Season of the Dead, In Battle There Is No Law! #is widely considered a landmark record and ranks among the very first Death Metal albums ever.
