This band was so badass...he Definatly is the closest clone to a Phil Anselmo... just without the heroin and terrible life takes... saw Throwdown 10+ times live, and each concert was a war in the pit... wish they would get back together for one more album with music that reflected the venom&tears, Vendetta and Deathless albums
@@bigboylife5463 Me and my good friend feel the same. Saw them live twice, excellent performance and energy both times. Dave was super grateful we came out to support as well.
Here to say. After all these years, I still blast this stuff and thankful for some badass music. Some straight cut, straight edge, tough minded dudes 💪🥁🎸💯
Yeah, me too...but I just like this album (Venom & Tears) way the most because is very Pantera influenced. I'm not sure if the members are still straight edge btw.
Heard this and thought immediately of 25 years - Pantera. Fucking righteous man. Dave is no Phil and Mark is no Dime, but these guys are carrying on a legacy that most bands have let die. Music is dying slowly with the passing of every legend who paved the way for bands today and at the rate its going, groove metal doesn't have much longer. Long live the sound of REAL metal.
I went right after work to purchase album the day it came out. I remember not being able to drive when the CD was in. Blew me away I thought to myself here's our new pantera! I was so blown away it was seven songs before I left best buys parking lot lol not to mention my wife pissed at me for taking long to come home. Throwdown for life!!
Throwdown was a mix between our past and present. I can't remember which media outlet said it was the new Pantera and I felt that but it was just Throwdown! Music from the heart 🤘
Thought I was the only person who they sound Panteraesque. I just discovered this band this week and could have sworn that was Dime on guitar and Phil on vocals. Damn this is awesome with a timeless sound. Heavy music will never die!
Same here! The words really touch a raw nerve in me to this very day! I used to be in a Cult called Pentecostalism. They do some of the most off-the-wall stuff, and they try their best to shove their rules down your throat! According to them, you're automatically damned to Hell, if you don't follow what THEY say, and believe me, they're merciless about it! Yes, I do love the Lord, and I totally believe in God. That being said, though, I've seen some absolutely horrid things in the "Movement" that I was in...and I stress the word "Was"! I'll never subject myself to such torture again! This song is a reminder that I have good people on my side that'll help me, especially when the nutjobs try to shove something down my throat that I KNOW ain't right!
Now this is my style of metal that ole "Imma beat cho ass" metal is what I love about THROWDOWN they got my number for my kind of metal to bang to. These dudes are some real OGs in this kind of metal. Especially in their making all their albums are bangers that we all need.
It's all there is. There won't be another Pantera and nobody else is doing what they used to do but these guys. The guy sounds like Anselmo and the band pulls off the groove. That's about all you can ask for these days in the sea of emo/crapcore/dickshit metal. These days people think double kick drums and incoherent screams suffice, and what's more disturbing is people buy that shit.
Saw these guys live. Had no idea who they were or what they sounded like. The next day I bought an album. Excellent performance. THEY EVEN DID A COVER OF ROOTS BLOODY ROOTS. F**king awesome.
@@nicolasnorthern2962 Yeah. With this album Venom & Tears they paid almost like a bigger tribute than actually Pantera (with Phil, Rex + Zakk, Benante) is doing by touring right now. In a certain way.
I prefer the earlier Throwdown albums, but the production quality is much better in the later ones. They do start to get a Pantera sound to them, but that is a complement. Pantera fucking rules.
Pantera...I've listened to quite a lot of their music, but there's one song that Pantera did, that kinda loosely connects with this song. The song that I'm thinking about is called "Drag The Waters". It, of course, is a song that stresses the point that, instead of blindly believing something that somebody tells us, do your own checking to find out if they're telling you the truth or not. In this way, you can check out what a "Religious Leader" is saying, and then do a fact-check on that "Religious Leader" to find out if he's telling you the truth, or if he's just trying to shove a pack of lies down your throat. Remember:Only the gullible believe everything that the lead "Fool" tells them to!
I know everyone else has said this already, but this new album sounds SO MUCH LIKE PANTERA.....AND I LOVE IT!!!! Who cares if they're not being original? This is so balls-out and it rocks your face off. Finally something in rock worth being excited over!!! SAVE US THROWDOWN!!!
man, this band is relatively new to me, i'm well chuffed I found them, this album and venom and tears are brilliant, their guitarist is improving as they progress too. Can't wait for their next album.
That's what makes them so great. At the time I'd found this CD (and I had never heard of Throwdown at the time) I was constantly on a search for a band that could give me that sound that only Pantera ever could. Every song on Venom & Tears is outstanding.
Axel Drop Sykes pantera has the biggest shoes in metal to fill imo but this is as close to the real deal as we can ask for...........as a diehard life long PANTERA fan i have to say this pleases me to here a sound that i havent heard in so long. rock the fuck out throwdown you guys fucking bring it \m/
Good metal guitarist is good player, not in the same stratosphere as Dime, but nobody else is either! Pantera May never be able to be removed from the greatest metal band ever, they were a once in a generation band!!
"You don't have to bow your head in shame Cus I can see right through you and I know that you have felt that way Never will I bow my head in shame I live this life with no regret, a lesson for you in respect" FUKING AMAZING!!! SEEING THEM LIVE TONIGHT!
I'm listening to it now. You're right. Its awesome but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Because like Phil Anselmo said these days most bands sound like their 2 favorite bands. I cant disagree.
In my teen years I was into old heavy metal and death metal, thrash metal, power metal, and black metal but never into this van. I just staring listening to them because of the song “burn” for my workouts. But this song I hear a lot of Pantera
Dude....dont pretend like Halford and Mr Thomas INVENTED their style. This is called inspiration I guess -__- You would say EVERY cartoon is a Simpsons-rip-off right? Cmon...
its amaazing how many times i played this video just today.... at least 8 times. damn this song is great. dimebag will be proud. and phil as well if he ever sees this.
Seriously? Far Beyond Driven? The Great Southern Trendkill? Reinventing the Steel? Those albums may not be considered as "metalcore" but, Throwdown's Holy Roller sounds like it's from Pantera's "Vulgar display of power".
Noone but him. But you have to admit the lyrics are cool. Maybe they sound like the mighty Pantera (totally fine with me) but they didnt get the lyrics from them I guess.
I asked my friend what pantera album this was on. He said Great Southern Trend Kill. You should have seen the look on his face when i said this isnt even pantera.
Damn. It's been a minute since I've listened to them. Last time was probably when I saw them with the Black Dahlia Murder at the Engine Room in Houston Tx.
I don't know why you're saying this, Isaak. Because this song is INCREDIBLY and undoubtedly similar to alot of things Pantera has put out...

Isaak Keidser Flygare If you don't like it and you think it's a snoozefest why are you on this video? What do you have nothing better to do than comment on videos of bands you don't like? Get the fuck off of the video if you don't like them!

Isaak Keidser Flygare The point is to leave a good comment about liking the video. Not a pointless comment about how you hate the video. IDIOT!!! Otherwise what's the point of watching it if you hate it?
So glad you guys can appreciate the Pantera influences without calling it a ripoff.
Because we need more music from pantera.Unfortunately it's impossible to get more from them so we're happy to have this.Rip brother abbotts.

couldn't have put it better myself mate
So true dawg
The vocals to me sounded like Lamb of God at first
This is even more true in 2024
Throwdown is like a mix between pantera and hatebreed
pantera and godsmack
Venom And Tears is PURE MASTERPIECE OF GROOVE METAL!
This song has a very "great southern trendkill" feel to it.
A very “let’s get drunk and fight” vibe, if you will
More Vulgar Display of Power
Its bands like Throwdown, Bleeding Through, and Stick to Your Guns that make me proud to be an Orange County Native. Throwdown is my modern Pantera
I went right after work to purchase album the day it came out. I remember not being able to drive when the CD was in. Blew me away I thought to myself here's our new pantera! I was so blown away it was seven songs before I left best buys parking lot lol not to mention my wife pissed at me for taking long to come home. Throwdown for life!!

Haven't heard this since back in 2008. I forgot how AWESOME it is.
Same! :D

Who still listens to this bad ass song in 2022? 🤘🤘🤘
2024 babayyyy
Hope Dimebag Darrell is happy to see a band like Pantera. RIP brother
Edu S. Listen to Exhorder who was around before Pantera from Louisiana that Phil is a fan of if not the whole band was
@@danielbaugher826 This sounds better than Exhorder.
Could pass as a bonus track in “far beyond driven” lol
One of my favorite Straight Edge bands!
XXX Stay True!
What the world needs is more pantera in any form that kicks as much as Throwdown spits out. I'm sure Dimebag would give them his thumbs up.
When he says 'Well nothing is holy, nothing is sacred!' it sounds just so much like Phil Anselmo. SO MUCH. Awesome!
Now this is my style of metal that ole "Imma beat cho ass" metal is what I love about THROWDOWN they got my number for my kind of metal to bang to. These dudes are some real OGs in this kind of metal. Especially in their making all their albums are bangers that we all need.

throwdowns new album is out this tuesday ....hope it is as good as the last one ..........and i totally agree with ya about music these days
"a hardcore fan when I was younger". and you're talking about Throwdown? Pantera must have been making music when you were still sperm.
so happy to know that pantera's influence will never die
I really wish they made more songs like this, I really digged the pantera style.
Me too. I'm not really such a fan of other albums by them.
After 16 years this album still rules.
Miss you guys please one more album please
Noone would have to replace ANYONE. By now they would be jamming together again. Thats my opinion and Phils as well.
When Pantera died, R.I.P, Throwdown was born!
Groove metal in perfection 🤘🤩🤘
The video stars in 0:21 you're welcome
You have a long attention span don’t you
I have the patience of a saint.
Thank you guys for bringing back groove metal!!!
Best lineup they ever had. Should have kept it like this.
awesome voice, awesome riffs awesome band!!!!!! really good like pantera in his days!!!!
Saw these guys live. Had no idea who they were or what they sounded like.
The next day I bought an album. Excellent performance. THEY EVEN DID A COVER OF ROOTS BLOODY ROOTS. F**king awesome.
One of the Heaviest song ever writen...Great Playing and Sound
Definitely not the Heaviest but it definitely rips. Plus they paid homage to pantera in best ways possible on a real level. It’s a classic forsure!
@@nicolasnorthern2962 Yeah. With this album Venom & Tears they paid almost like a bigger tribute than actually Pantera (with Phil, Rex + Zakk, Benante) is doing by touring right now. In a certain way.

He absolutely has some Phil inspired tones

bands evolve.
this is one of the few who did it in a positive way.
By far one of my fav bands to this day! I love getting geeked up by this song, great band!
man, this band is relatively new to me, i'm well chuffed I found them, this album and venom and tears are brilliant, their guitarist is improving as they progress too. Can't wait for their next album.
Listen to the song without seeing the video...its almost like PANTERA!!! RIP DIME BRO!
I don't blame the drummer for going that mental at a song that's this immensely good
This band rips live. I saw them with Soilwork and talked to em after the show. Their drummer is a beast.
Respect !
Song is badass...this band rocks!!!🤘
2019?🤘 also, it still has MySpace in the description😂
Lollll
Is myspace dead?
It is unfortunately
It is unfortunately
That's what makes them so great. At the time I'd found this CD (and I had never heard of Throwdown at the time) I was constantly on a search for a band that could give me that sound that only Pantera ever could. Every song on Venom & Tears is outstanding.
Still loving this after all these years...
Breakdown so sick it tested positive for covid-19
Pantera 2!

Good metal guitarist is good player, not in the same stratosphere as Dime, but nobody else is either! Pantera May never be able to be removed from the greatest metal band ever, they were a once in a generation band!!
This band and video deserves better comments than what I've been seeing...
Probably the best Pantera cover band out there now.
"You don't have to bow your head in shame
Cus I can see right through you and I know that you have felt that way
Never will I bow my head in shame
I live this life with no regret, a lesson for you in respect"
FUKING AMAZING!!! SEEING THEM LIVE TONIGHT!
Pantera+hatebreed
Exactly what I was thinking. I opened for them a lot in Tucson. Badass dudes
What about Godsmacks sound?!))
+sully erna
I had to check who I was listening to.
this doesn t sound like hatebreed too razor sharp
I saw them in Calgary about 10 years ago with KSE and Arch Enemy and the raw energy these guys put off to mosh your face off is unreal
*Glad you have this line up reunion! Legends!*
Same! So happy they have this lineup back
this is exactly what ive been looking for in a band, these guys are great. Awesome sound..
Why haven’t i seen this in a try not to headbang challenge
The riff at 2:41🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Throwdown is unbelievably awesome for sparring. good times man, good times.
best Pantera album ever !
Pantera and Godsmack. Good stuff.
the album after this one called Deathless sounded so much like Pantera and Godsmack teamed up to make an album
I'm listening to it now. You're right. Its awesome but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Because like Phil Anselmo said these days most bands sound like their 2 favorite bands. I cant disagree.
I liked it in my opinion. It was def a "softer" album but i think the vocalist has a great voice, regardless
I didn't like deathless, too much metalcore influence, not enough groove
Some Phil influence
That intro is an assault on the ears, jeezus.
In my teen years I was into old heavy metal and death metal, thrash metal, power metal, and black metal but never into this van. I just staring listening to them because of the song “burn” for my workouts. But this song I hear a lot of Pantera

Just heard these guys on Liquid Metal yesterday - downloaded this album, now getting the rest - a treasure trove of pure metal!
If Pantera would have done Metalcore, it would sound exactly like this... :D
Seriously? Far Beyond Driven? The Great Southern Trendkill? Reinventing the Steel?

There's nothing hardcore about it
