THROATS OF GOLD

Words simply can't describe how fucking awesome Throats new record is, my heart literally jumped the moment the songs kicked in.

Throats as a band are one of the few musical gems which break all barriers people put in there way, in the words of Julian Barrett: “You fear the lack of rules, the lack of boundaries. Oh look, it's a fence. But, no, it's soft.” Except it isn’t soft in actual fact its anything but soft, Forget everything you perceive as being “hardcore” right now, go listen to Throats and you’ll realise what real hardcore really is! The riffs feel like a Juggernaut destroying everything in its path, stabbing your ears with golden vocals echoing in its wake, and the drums, the drums are unbelievable steamrolling the music forward in a frenzy.

As there first full release Throats set there bar high so its no surprise Holy Roar and the band are so pleased with this culmination, speaking as a fan I already own all there previous releases in the forms of split records with some incredible bands such as Maths, the_Network and the one and only Rolo Tomassi. In every song they’ve released there effort shows with old songs like “Deathnaps” and “Reign Of Low” along with newer songs like "Atlas" which are literally mind blowing, though this hasn’t gone to there heads just yet, as this promo which I’m still listening to clearly shows:

The opening track “Wake” is in a word, beautiful. Merged together so well with songs like “Failgiver” and “Fuck Life” you get a real feel for what Throats tried to accomplish, and succeeded in doing so, both managing to evolve as a band and stay true to there roots they firmly set in there demos and I can only hope that the few of you that read this go and buy this record.

The release is set to storm the nation beginning of February with preorders and package deals expected soon(Now actually - With certain formats close to selling out, so act fast) over at Holy Roar Records. So go fucking buy it, you won’t regret it and the band will appreciate it, go see them live it will melt your face, and hopefully they will continue doing what they do best, cutting shit and starting pits. Who knows they may even be the start of a musical revolution, they have the potential.

Now the original plan was to leave this review at that, but since writing it I joined the THROATSOFGOLD club over at Holy Roar records which is like a subscription club - £50 for a year of "EVERYTHING Throats", a fucking bargain if I do say so myself. With this I Received the MP3s of the upcoming album in glorious 320kbps and honestly the album will destroy you! Its dominating my music so much its unreal.

Unfortunately though the album was leaked so I want to add this section just to say buy the album instead. Throats are near broke and Holy roar struggle to survive as it is and if you want the music to continue support the artist, please!
