kitarrafury.com IMPENDING DOOM have premiered the video for 'More Than Conquerors' - check it out below. An intense live performance video directed by Robby Starbuck (A STATIC LULLABY, A SKYLIT DRIVE) the video shows the band shoulder to shoulder with an audience of kids headbanging and losing their mind. Bassist David Sittig explained the genesis of the video “We had a contest where the first 150 kids to respond to our post could be part of our video. We performed on the same level as the kids with no barriers as we wanted a real intense, in your face show.
The band’s new album The Serpent Servant (Facedown Records) has reached scans of 9,000 in three weeks scanning over 4,200 copies in the first week. The band were supposed to do a headlining Mexican run this which has been cancelled due to the Swine Flu. Sittig commented “Apparently a bunch of the venues have been temporarily closed for quarantine. We intend to return to Mexico at some point in the summer and send our best wishes to our fans over there. Check it out here or at IMPENDING DOOM - More Than Conquerors

"Deathless and Rebirth"- A mere week into the recording of their latest effort, 'Deathless,' Orange County's Throwdown are light years ahead of their mental state on previous releases. "Our heads are in a different and better place than they have been before, for a lot of reasons" lead pipes Dave Peters "It feels like a rebirth for our band, which we deliberately allude to in the title of the album."

Peters elaborates on an other point and also said, "The songs we've written for 'Deathless' reflect that [rebirth] absolutely. The album is a really expected and evolution from 'Venom & Tears,' but has definitely come a long way from it, in our humble opinion, too." Evolution is necessary for a band to continue and grow and Throwdown have always demonstrated the ability, toughness and moxie necessary for survival in the eats-its-young music business! The band has also endured several line up changes, yet is never crippled by them!

For 'Deathless,' the band, known for making neck-stomping, moshpit anthems, parted ways with its longtime label and is now working with E1, formerly known as Koch. "Making a record with E1 is truly a breath of fresh air and has lent itself nicely to the whole process," the vocalist admitted. "We don't have to worry about the people who work hard on it not getting paid for months, for starters! We really couldn't be happier right now with everything. Wow, I can't remember the last time I could say that.... maybe in the 90's?!"

We, too, are happy for Throwdown and are looking forward to getting our asses handed to us with 'Deathless,' which may be out this year.
