Vendetta

[3] Let’s face it, Throwdown’s music isn’t rocket science. The band are far from virtuosos, and fans don’t have to be relatives of the Amazing Kreskin to know what they’re getting themselves into when they crack open anything with the band’s name on it. Like every other Throwdown release, Vendetta features a pervasive and crushing hardcore influence, a little taste of thrash, guitars, vocals and kick drums that sound like they were sampled off a Pantera album, songs about being straight edge and lyrics like “never surrendering your pride,” all wrapped up in a tough-guy façade with enough kung-fu mosh-pit action to cause a Chaos Theory-induced hurricane in Fiji. Vendetta contains no surprises, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. (TRUSTKILL!) Kevin Stewart-Panko
