Thrown (stylized in lowercase or uppercase) is a Swedish hardcore punk and metalcore band formed in 2019, and are signed to Arising Empire.[1] The group consists of vocalist Marcus Lundqvist, guitarists Johan Liljeblad and Andreas Malm, and drummer/producer Buster Odeholm (Humanity's Last Breath and Vildhjarta).
The band released their debut album, Excessive Guilt (stylized in uppercase), in August 2024, consisting of 11 songs in a total length of just over 20 minutes.[2]
History
Formation (2019-2021)
In 2019, vocalist Marcus Lundqvist and guitarist Andreas Malm had an idea to try new things and create more of a modern metal band when compared to their previous band, and contacted Buster Odeholm, the drummer for Vildhjärta and multi-instrumentalist for Humanity's Last Breath. Marcus and Andreas originally wanted Buster to be their producer, but became their drummer as well. Finally, they asked Johan Liljeblad, a stand-in guitarist for Marcus and Andreas's previous band, if he wanted to join in, and Johan accepted. During quarantine, the band spent a lot of their time writing songs for Thrown.[3]
Touring and Excessive Guilt (2022-present)
In 2022, the band released their debut EP, Extended Pain, including the three singles prior, and went on tour with Counterparts.[4] While releasing songs, the band also toured with Invent Animate[5] and Fit for a King[6] in 2023, and are touring with Spite,[7] Alpha Wolf,[8] and While She Sleeps in 2024. Alongside these tours, they've also supported Knocked Loose, Architects, and August Burns Red, but only for a few shows rather than a whole tour.[9] On 30 August, the band released their debut studio album, titled Excessive Guilt.[10]
Musical style
Thrown's style has been described as hardcore,[11][12] metalcore,[11][13] and nu metal.[13]
