Bolt Thrower is was may be again? a classic Death Metal band from Coventry, England. After releasing their first demo, which was categorized as Grindcore, they decided to release a proper album. Being a bunch of big nerds, they named it Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness and got the rights to use the original Rogue Trader artwork as their album cover. The album is a concept album about Warhammer 40,000 and the encroaching forces of Chaos, and it's pretty badass, if you're into that sort of thing.
There is a re-release for Realm of Chaos, but not only does it do the injustice of using a sanitized not-copyrighted cover, but it's also been noted that this re-release was not done with the permission of the band themselves, meaning that none of the proceeds went to the band.
Since the album came out in 1989, it also offers a glimpse into original Warhammer 40k, which is interesting and something most modern players never experienced.
