IN STORES TODAY
"Few bands get better and more barbaric with each successive album but Orange County's Throwdown up the metal and hardcore ante every time" - Hit Parader Magazine
The highly anticipated THROWDOWN album "Venom & Tears" is in stores TODAY!
"This album was a lot more collective in the writing" bassist, Matt Mentley shares. "The new songs really stretched my abilities as a player rather than falling back on same progressions we already did in previous albums. However the songs are a blast to play and will be amazing in our live set." Speaking on the new songs vocalist Dave Peters writes "We kinda went back to our roots as far as what got us into playing music rather than sticking to what got us into hardcore. When I saw my first hardcore band live in 1992, I remember thinking, whoa, this is like Pantera without the guitar solos. We weren't trying to consciously adding metal or other elements into our songs. When we wrote Haymaker (2003) that's about as bare bones and raw as it gets, add four years later of playing and touring together to that and we've developed quite a ways with influences, execution and **** it we'll play a solo if we want to too."
Throwdown are playing Warped Tour all summer long, and head out on the "The Black Tyranny Tour" this September/October with MACHINE HEAD, ARCH ENEMY, & SANCTITY. Click here for all Throwdown tour dates and info.
