A NEW PANTERA SONG!!!
Friday, October 9th, 2009 at 1:00pm by Axl RosenbergNah, just kiddin’. It’s just a new Throwdown song! “This Continuum,” from the band’s forthcoming album Deathless, is streaming at Noiscecreep right now.
It’s really mean of me to keep poking this band for sounding so much like Pantera. For one thing, I’ve really enjoyed some Throwdown in the past; for another thing, I interviewed TxDx (do people really refer to them that way?) guitarist Mark Choiniere once, and he was a really, really nice dude. But, y’know. They do sound a lot like Pantera.
That being said, the chorus to this song strikes me as being kinda, well… Godsmack-y. Am I alone there?
Deathless comes out November 10 on E1.

Did a cover of Baby Got Back. Credibility gone.
Pantera with chorus….bla… why do metals these days go for that really produced sound? just put one mic in a room and hit record. Sorry, but I just come from an Eyehategod influence.
i was definitely faked out by the headline. what makes it worse is that i know that will never happen, but i guess i can still dream.
i instictevely jizzed when i saw the headline…
if you’re gonna sound like another band, pantera’s not a bad way to go.
you said it, brother
+1
word !
I just choked on my coffee and almost came when I saw the title of this article. Then I got all sad because I realized that it’ll never happen because Dime is dead and Anselmo is a twat. Then I got sadder because Dime is dead. Thanks for ruining my afternoon. I don’t wanna even look at this new band now. I am just too sad.
Theyre not really new lol.
Intro EQ/phaser type effect was cool. Some of the verse vocals seem forced (like Anselmo having problems). I love sing-songy choruses, unlike most ‘core haters, but I felt this one was a bit generic/weak.
Fuck Throwdown. Saw the with Nevermore and In Flames and they blew ass. They could sound like Pantera but their guitar player can not solo. At all. They did a Pantera cover and he completely skipped the lead parts. I do not see the appeal of this band. To each their own, I gues…
They sound like Pantera – so that’s a bad thing?
Saying they sound like Pantera is giving Pantera a bad name. Please don’t shit on Pantera like that anymore. Throwdown’s riffs are nowhere near Dime’s. The vocalist is the only one that comes close and is a million light years from Phil. Please properly relabel this band as “sounds like Pantera only if their talent was sucked out of them”.
Thank you.
Last night I was listening to someone random songs on my playlists and I thouight to myself this sounds just like Pantera who is the rip off and I saw it was Throwdown.
wow..
now more than ever does the singer sound like phil anselmo..
breakdown’s not that bad..
pretty dissapointed being a fan of their early work tho..
True, they sound like Pantera but honestly if you criticize them for that thats like getting mad at a girl koz she looks too much like Angelina Jolie/Jessica Alba/any other unbelievably hot famous chick.
Regardless, saw them on the tour with Daath/Unearth/Chimaira and they were awesome.
Agreed.
Meh, sounds like Pantera crossed with Disturbed and Mudvayne.
I kinda see where you’re goin’ here.
This song is just average. They have KICKASS songs on the “venom & tears” album.
Saw them live 3 days ago with Chimaira/Unearth/Daath. They ROCKED.
I used to dislike them and find their stuff lame (like tough guy hardcore meets power metal meets crappy soulf fly nu metal riffs), but seriously VENOM & TEARS was a BADASS power metal album.
To me this album doesn’t sound like a Pantera rip-off, but more like a solid power metal record with a HUGE Pantera influence on it. The songs are just great period.
Now, live they played a couple of songs off the new album including that one. The other songs sounded better, and that one was just ok.
Do you know what power metal is?
Sounds (a lot) like Testament from “Low” era, mid-90s, to me.
You hit it right on the nose Axl with it sounding like Godsmack. Lead singer sounds like Phil, Sully Erna and that fuckface Draiman in this song. Band used to be really good. Shit sucks.
That song is way too repetitive. The only part of it that makes me angry is the structure.
Add a guitar solo, do some shredding you bitches.
