Throwdown "Defend with Violence"

Orange County metalcore lifers Throwdown are getting ready to beat you senseless with the release of Intolerance next week. A couple of days ahead of that January 21 street date via eOne Music, however, the band are serving up one last taste of pre-release pain. You can now preview their "Defend With Violence."

Hallmark waves of detuned distortion and crushing mosh beats usher us into the wrecker, which weighs in on arguments escalating into a little push-and-shove ("the only resolve that I have left," according to vocalist Dave Peters).

Bone-snapping grooves are doled out mid-song, which will no doubt open up the pit into a veritable seventh circle of hell once Throwdown takes the tune on tour. For now, you can sample the song from the safety of your home by giving it a stream down below.
