Karl Willetts




Karl Willetts (born 21 September 1966) is a Death Metal Vocalist from the UK . He joined the British death metal band Bolt Thrower in 1988 . Before that he drove the Backline of the band. He stayed with Bolt Thrower until 1994 , after the recording of '' ...For Victory ''. He left the band mainly because he wanted to go back to university and finish his degree.

Willetts rejoined as a session vocalist for the recording of '' Mercenary '' and left shortly thereafter because of financial reasons and lack of commitment. In the mean time, he got a job as a salesman of insurances besides other jobs. He resides in Solihull . Rumours persisted he had returned in 2001 , but he did not. However, in November 2004 , he actually did re-join Bolt Thrower after the departure of Dave Ingram . Willetts now has a degree in Cultural Studies from the Birmingham University .

Willetts also did some guest vocals with UK Punk band Doom on their Peel Sessions album and UK Death Metal band Benediction on two accounts; one on "Jumping at Shadows" which appears on '' The Grand Leveller '' and '' Dark Is The Season ''; the other on "At the Wrong Side of the Grave", which is a cover of The Accused and appears on the '' Transcend The Rubicon '' album.
