Label: Relapse Records
Distribution: Rough Trade Benelux.
Release date: 31/08/2010
Review: CD

Hero Destroyed, hailing from Pittsburgh, debut with Throes on Relapse, and knowing that Relapse hasn’t but interesting names on its rooster (to be nuanced…), it must mean something, doesn’t it?

Throes, which has duration of thirty five minutes, consists of eleven intense and pumping Metalcore-acts, sometimes sludgy, then again groovy or rather catchy-hardcoring, yet always with a skull-crushing approach and somewhat mechanical-technical excellence.

For fans of Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Breach, Spitfire, Converge etc…

75/100
