Southern California metallers THROWDOWN are now streaming the song “Avow” via the Soundcloud widget below. The song comes from the band’s forthcoming new album, Intolerance, which is due January 21, 2014.
“I’ve written a lot of lyrical content coming off as rehashed,” says THROWDOWN frontman Dave Peters. “I was meticulous, if not a little obsessive, about making all venture into similar territory.
“It’s been two decades since I’ve been straight edge. ‘Avow’ is about how it was important to me.”
“Avow” is available for purchase via iTunes today and is the first new music we’ve seen from the SoCal metal act since Deathless was released back in 2009.
The new album was recorded at Hurley Recordings in Costa Mesa, California with rising producer Davey Warsop and mixed at Planet Z. Intolerance features guitar solo contributions from Dave Nassie (Bleeding Through, No Use For A Name, Infectious Grooves), who joined Throwdown’s recent touring lineup alongside Demon Hunter drummer Tim “Yogi” Watts and Deathless era bassist Mark Mitchell.
