"Throwdown effortlessly kick out the heaviest and most stomping metal this side of Texas. Proudly and defiantly keeping the memory (and sound) of Pantera alive and kicking!" -- Metal Hammer
Throwdown, tightly coiled, is squeezing the world for the kill and poised to sink their collective fangs into the backbone of American metal. Rising from the underground world of the do-it-yourself hardcore scene with a recipe made up of Pantera, Machine Head, Sepultura and early Metallica, their mission is boldly proclaimed on on their new album, Venom & Tears.
Their targets? The vacuous mainstream, the fashionable phonies in the "scene," and the wannabe tough guys who hop just as eagerly from trend to trend while swearing their supposed loyalty to "keeping it real." With their values intact and their pride holstered at their sides, Throwdown have issued ultimatum after ultimatum with empowering, venom-fueled songs. Liars and fakes, move aside, or be crushed.
Throwdown destroyed the second stage on Ozzfest. Owned the inaugural Sounds Of The Underground. And all summer long, they will headline the Ernie Ball stage on Warped Tour.
Hardened by tough breaks, a few lineup changes, and plenty of hours on the road away from friends and family touring with their friends in bands as diverse as Soulfly, Lamb Of God and As I Lay Dying, Throwdown entered the studio earlier this year with Mudrock and crafted their defining work.
The heavy metallic fury and venomous bite of Venom & Tears is timeless, recalling the heyday of mid-90s metal with the spirit of traditional street punk and hardcore. One of Alternative Press's "Most Anticipated Albums," it is alternately forward-thinking and modern, delivering on the promise of the metallic 2005 album Vendetta and Throwdown's 2004's breakout album "Haymaker," which gave Revolver magazine cause to herald Throwdown as part of "The Future Of Metal" in a 2005 cover story. "Burn" lit MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball" ablaze, earning a coveted spot on the compilation of the same name.
Get ready for a new level of heavy music with depth, passion and truthful emotion. Venom & Tears
RINGTONES? . . .FUCK YEAH!
hey dudes, It's sad, Trustkill used to be my favorite label, but with my fav. bands leaving and airing the truth about Josh... it seems about as bad as victory. A label's supposed to give you support (money) and promotion. 2 simple, very important things. So it's sad that Josh can only deliver 1 of those. Best of luck on finding a new label. -Jared
We want THROWDOWN at the Mississippi Coast Collesium, or near NEW ORLEANS....come on bro...yall are fuckin sick and would blow every band out the water "litteraly" lol down here.

You made my day. EVERYONE OUT THERE, go see Throwdown live and mix things up (or Dave will make you). TD, Keep it up and keep your heads held high. Throwdown rules! -Brian
Venom & Tears is a great metal album! Every song kicks ass! I'm always singing along to all the songs on this album! This is the kind of album that makes me want to play metal! Dave...Great job on Unleash!
