Throwdown

Throwdown is a cornerstone of the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal. Classic Throwdown albums Haymaker (2003), Vendetta (2005), and Venom & Tears (2007) were added to digital service providers and Bandcamp in recent years via the band’s own Pit Viper Records, alongside the Take Cover EP (2020), which collects Throwdown renditions of classics by Sepultura, Crowbar, Pantera, and Misfits. Revolver Magazine declared Throwdown part of “The Future of American Metal” in 2004. Over the years, the band participated in Ozzfest, Vans Warped Tour, and international treks with genre titans including Korn, In Flames, Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, As I Lay Dying, Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Fear Factory, and Children Of Bodom. Six of the band's Top 10 songs on Spotify are from Deathless (2009), released by MNRK Heavy. Throwdown’s most recent album, Intolerance, arrived via MNRK Heavy in 2014. Throwdown is Dave Peters, Matt Mentley, Mark Choiniere, and Ben Dussault.
