'''''In Battle There Is No Law!''''' is the debut album by British [[death metal]] band [[Bolt Thrower (band)|Bolt Thrower]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Bolt Thrower – In Battle There Is No Law Album Reviews, Songs & More {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/in-battle-there-is-no-law-mw0000678103 |access-date=28 April 2023 |language=en}}</ref> It was recorded at Loco studios by [[Andrew Fryer]], and mixed at Clockwork by [[Alan Scott]]. It was released on [[Vinyl Solution]] as [[Vinyl Solution|Sol 11]] on 20 June 1988,<ref>{{Cite journal |date=11 June 1988 |title=The New Force on the Street |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1988/MW-1988-06-11.pdf |journal=[[Music Week]] |page=2 |via=worldradiohistory.com}}</ref> and re-released on Vinyl Solution as Sol 11 in 1992, with a different album sleeve. The album was again re-released in 2005 with the old album sleeve restored. The sound of the album dominantly featured characteristics of [[grindcore]], with lyrics socio-politically charged as the members had roots in [[crust punk]], and created a sound that was heavily influenced by their roots.
German [[melodic death metal]]/[[metalcore]] act [[Heaven Shall Burn]] used the same album title for [[In Battle There Is No Law (EP)|their debut EP]] as a homage to Bolt Thrower, claiming that the band had a huge influence on their music.
