From the opening jackhammer drums and escalating chords of "We Will Rise" (which then downshift to grinding dirge on the chorus), it is clear that Throwdown intend to take no prisoners. Lead singer Dave Peters, who sings like his entire body ... Full Descriptionis being ripped apart by ravenous animals, commands the listener's attention on every song with his tortured scream-singing and the righteous lyrics of such songs as "Speak the Truth" and "To Live is to Sacrifice." Whether on the hectic speed- metal workout of the title track or the crunching grooves of "Discipline," Throwdown maintains a blistering level of intensity throughout, proving themselves one of the most intense, no-nonsense outfits on the hardcore scene.
Orange County, California has long been a breeding ground for some of the finest and most ferocious punk, metal, and hardcore acts in the United States. On albums like BEYOND REPAIR and HAYMAKER, Throwdown has made it clear that they intend to be a permanent part of that legacy, and with 2005's VENDETTA, they move to the front ranks. Throwdown's sound brings together extreme metal, pulverizing rhythms, and screamo theatrics to crushing effect, but it is their inspired, straight-edge ethos (reminiscent of bands like Fugazi) that gives them distinction.
Throwdown: Ben, Dave, Matt, Dom.

| | As I Lay Dying Shadows Are Security CD (2005)
Vendetta music CDs
$11.39 
Formed in Southern California and forged on the road, As I Lay Dying appeared as prominent players in a new wave of American metal. Not content to draw upon a single influence, the band pulls from early thrash, the Gothenburg (Sweden) style of death metal, and hardcore. What sets them apart from other bands of the metalcore genre is their dynamic song structure. Where they could get away with simple verse/chorus/verse templates, SHADOWS ARE SECURITY constantly shakes things up with new sounds and textures. Dual guitars carry the melody while Tim Lambesis' screaming vocals provide guttural aggression. "Empty Hearts" has Jordan Mancino's very musical drums doubling the guitar parts and propelling the song at breakneck speed. "Repeating Yesterday" is a brief respite from the chaos with a mid-tempo pulse and piano-accented ending. After a minute-and-a-half of tension-building static and feedback the final track "Illusions" explodes to life; using a more dissonant tone and treated vocal, it's the most hardcore moment on the album. The guitar fades out with a Doppler effect giving the impression that As I Lay Dying are pulling away from the pack and leaving everyone else in their wake.
As I Lay Dying: Clint Norris (vocals, bass instrument); Tim Lambesis (vocals); Phil Sgrosso, Nick Hipa (guitar); Jordan Mancino (drums).
Recording information: Big Fish Studios, Encinitas, California (2005).

Metalheads hailing from the Garden State can finally brag about some hard-working hometown heroes. Melding old-school thrash, hardcore, and metal into their own definitive sound, God Forbid slaved for years slowly building a devoted following. On the quintet's fourth release, IV: CONSTITUTION OF TREASON, the band renders flashes of dual-harmony guitar mastery that has seldom been seen since the heyday of Testament and Slayer. The heavy music world is bound to be set on its ear by this dark, well-crafted concept album.

| | Slayer Christ Illusion CD (2006)
Vendetta album
$30.29 
2006's CHRIST ILLUSION marks a return to form for one of the fiercest and most influential metal bands in history. Slayer's original lineup reconvened in the studio for the first time since 1990's SEASONS IN THE ABYSS for CHRIST ILLUSION, and the results recall the classic sound of landmark thrash releases like 1986's REIGN IN BLOOD. Time hasn't dulled the band's terrifying intensity one iota; if anything, Slayer's sound crackles with renewed attack.
The breathtaking double-time drums, grinding guitar riff, and throat-shredding vocals on the opener, "Flesh Storm," signal the relentless sonic onslaught in store for the listener. Lyrically, too, Slayer is in fine form, exploring in typically dark fashion the pitfalls of religion, orthodoxy, and--with timely references to unrest in the Middle East--the ideology of war. But it's the band's musical chops that impress the most, with radical song structures, angular tempo changes, and blistering guitar solos that prove the legendary band is still a step ahead of their numerous followers.
"Christ Illusion" is Slayer's first new studio album since 2001, and the first recorded by the band's original line-up - Kerry King (guitars); Tom Araya (bass, vocals); Jeff Hanneman (guitars); Dave Lombardo (drums) - since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss". "Christ Illusion" was produced by Josh Abraham and executive produced by Rick Rubin. "Christ Illusion" deals with familiar Slayer themes - god, religion, hate, and war.
Slayer: Tom Araya (vocals, bass guitar); Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King (guitar); Dave Lombardo (drums).
Recording information: NRG, North Hollywood, California.

One of Scotland's most successful bands, they defined a generation, have scored over twenty Top 20 hits in a career spanning nearly three decades. They have sold over thirty million records, had five #1 albums, a #1 single in America - plus three American Top Ten singles and have been voted Q magazine's world's best live act. Now after a three year hiatus Simple Minds are back with their best CD since New Gold Dream, called Black and White 050505. Jim Kerr & co-founder Charlie Burchill sound every bit as good as they did at the height of their fame in the '80s. Mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain (Roxy Music, Rolling Stones, INXS), Black & White is a very strong & contemporary album with an anthemic, epic sound that embodies everything the band was ever revered for. 9 total tracks. Sanctuary. 2005. * No US release until early 2006!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Horrible
There is no hardcore left in these guys. The music is so boring. Same old riffs heard a thousand times, stupid breakdowns, and Daves voice is very weak on this album. Theres no more heart in what they do. If they do make another album its prolly going to be a nu metal album in vain of there idols SLIPKNOT and there maggot crew.

 This album is pretty good, but haymaker was better
Man, throwdown are awesome. Vendetta, in my opinion, is a great album!! In my opinion, Vendetta is another step forward for Throwdown. There are only two things I have to say to Alex in Italy. First, Alex, SHUT UP!! Second, don't judge throwdown by the way that they sound after putting out a new album. You might not like their new album, but you still have to respect the band!!! I respect throwdown for putting out great albums!! All I have to say to Throwdown personally is this. THANXXX for putting out such awesome albums. I will always support you guys!! Keep up the hard work!! Haymaker, in my opinion, was a little better than Vendetta, but I am not judging Throwdown by their CD's. I am straight edge, and I LOVE THROWDOWN. Buy Vendetta. It is awesome!! Or, buy Haymaker, if you want to listen to Dave talk about STRAIGHT EDGE in his lyrics a whole bunch. You can't go wrong with either album, Haymaker or Vendetta. They are awesome and I highly recommend both albums to anyone who is looking for a great STRAIGHT EDGE hardcore band. You will not be disappointed with Haymaker or Vendetta. They are both worth it!!! Buy them!!
