Upcoming Bullshit

NEW PANTERA ALBUM ON THE WAY!

 Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 at 4:00pm by

Actually, it’s just a new album from Throwdown, but who can tell the difference?

Why oh why do I give Throwdown so much shit when I actually like them? I’ve interviewed guitarist Mark Choiniere, and he’s an incredibly nice fellow. I think that front man Dave Peters seems like an intelligent chap. And if you’re gonna sound like another band, Pantera is a pretty awesome band to sound like. I dig Throwdown.

But they’re easy targets, and I have no sense of class. I just want the laugh because it feeds my weak ego.

Also, this band sounds an awful fucking lot like Pantera.

But the new album: it will be called Deathless, and will be the group’s first for Koch (or E1, or whatever the fuck it’s called now) after their acrimonious split from Trustkill, and I think it has at least 50% of the Venom & Tears line-up.

I don’t know who the producer will be, but has the band considered working with Terry Date I wonder?

    NOT PANTERA…EVER

  • justin

    they might rip off a little bit of pantera’s sound here and there, but these jobbers will never be as fucking cool as pantera, so i wouldn’t even bother with ‘em. terry date or not.

  • major

    i fucking hate this band

  • Brett

    As soon as I read the title on my RSS feed I knew who you were talking about.

  • SonOF

    I think Throwdown is closer to a poor man’s Hatebreed than Pantera.

  • metalguy

    only the song holy roller sounds like pantera. their more hardcore based

    • Mike

      More hardcore based…have you heard Pantera??

      • SonOF

        Pantera was a metal band, whereas Throwdown grew out of the hardcore scene.

  • CarlosRamirez

    I can’t wait till Zakk Wylde finds out about this band. He’d love them!

  • spacemonkey9878

    bring back 1998-2000 era throwdown. screw these imposters.

  • fightingmike

    There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE. RIP Pantera!!!

  • metalstinks

    yeah throwdown is not pantera and not close thats the difference

  • pokesmot

    throwdown are sick pantera were gods

  • Gordon Bombay

    The singer sounds like Phil, but not much beyond that . Plus these guys are straight edge, so they would probably leave the room if they saw a black tooth grin. NOT LIKE PANTERA

    Holy Roller sounds exactly like “Mouth for War” and “Regular People”. What a stupid fucking band.

    by the way

    Chinese Democracy owns you faggots

    • d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n.

      I thought “Holy Roller” sounded more like “Rise” (at least the first few seconds of it, anyway.)

  • SamyD

    I nearly fucking vomited when I saw that. Anyone who lumps this shity with ‘tera deserves to be shot. chalk and cheese.

  • The Mighty Fucking Quinn

    Not to shit on anyone, but are Pantera and Metallica such long words that we can’t even type them out fully? I want to punch someone when I hear them say ‘tallica, cause is adding “Me” to the word so difficult? And ‘tera? C’mon. Pantera…..Metallica……..sorry for being a dick, but you’re not typing something lengthy or unworthy of having the whole name typed. Come up with stupid names for bands like Bring M the Horizon or Bullet for my Valentine.

    PS – Throwdown….meh.

  • brookh

    kinda not cool…

  • Drew

    Basically, this band used to break dicks off, then there was a lot of member shuffling. Then they got a shitty producer for the last album that overproduced the hell out of it and crafted it into a Pantera-esque sound. I do not like Venom & Tears at all really, but their stuff before that is righteous. They used to be a hardcore band and they played with superguitars. Now they are something else and use the same guitars as everybody else.

  • Uglymicrowave

    dude, throwdown used to own as a sick hardcore/metalcore band when they had haymaker and vendetta what sick albums…but venom and tears? WTF is that shit…I;m sure deathless will sound exactly like v&ts…and to compare them to pantera is an insult

  • http://rfosterdesign.com rfosterdesign

    I can only hope it sounds like Pantera. There will never be another Pantera which is a god damn tragedy..I hope they sound as much like pantera as possible. I love Throwdown’s old stuff… well I liked it… But i fuckin loved Venom and Tears, mainly because it is the closest thing I will ever hear to a new Pantera album…

  • http://rfosterdesign.com rfosterdesign

    P.S. Yeah def fuckin weak bein a straight edge band…. major dissapointment

    • RobotScythe

      What’s weal about being straight-edge? Takes more balls and self-control to be SE than fuckin’ slobbering drunk.

      • major

        i dunno bro being in a straight edge band and then ripping off one of the biggest potheads in metal seems like a phenomenal idea for when the creative well has run dry.

  • Walker

    Throwdown was sick of being compared to Hatebreed, now its Pantera, watch the next record is strait up Death Metal and everyone compares them to another genre headlining band. It must suck to finally make it in the music buisness and numerous people call you rip offs. I dont know, i really dont care. They make me bob my head and Godspeed, the final track on Venom and Tears, is a great song.

  • bearbomb

    Their cover of Baby Got Back is one of the more atrocious things ever put to tape.

    Fuck this band.

  • nick

    Can people please not put the terms “pantera” and “deserves to be shot” in the same sentence ever again.

    Lets just hope their guitarist doesn’t get shot onstage. Otherwise we’re gonna see a shitload of HIS ‘signature’ guitars in Guitar Center.
