Throwdown
“Vendetta”
TRUSTKILL

This is a family! Throwdown are back with another punch to your kidney. Much like Hatebreed you either love these guys or hate them. Personally I’m more into WATCHING the O.C. on TV than listening to brutal hardcore these days, so I had my doubts.

“Vendetta” sticks to the original Throwdown formula of basic hardcore, tuned down guitar and bass, huge singalongs, and crazy prison riot like breakdowns. The Title track and “Burn” are this albums barnburners. You’re bound to get karate kicked in the face if you see either of those played live. Throwdown distinctly sound like “Vulgar Display of Power”-era Pantera than you would imagine.

Nothing has changed with Throwdown. It’s still disgusting hardcore that everyone should love. Orange County California should be a pile of rubble with this band playing all the time. By the way you kids should really watch the OC. It’s like Melrose Place with hotter, younger girls. I’m hooked!
