The final MTV2 Headbangers Ball Blog podcast of 2007 will be an interview with Throwdown frontman Dave Peters. With the release of their new album (third for Trustkill), Venom & Tears, Throwdown spread beyond the insular boundaries of hardcore and delved more vehemently into thrash metal. The move paid off, and the band have been openly embraced by the metal community thanks to a combination of killer riffs and exhaustive touring.
In 2007, Throwdown blew crowds away on the Black Tyranny tour with Machine Head and Arch Enemy, and the group has already lined up dates in 2008 with Soilwork, Through the Eyes of the Dead and War of Ages. Sensing Peters' metal cred, Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera (ex-Sepultura) even invited Peters to lend some vocals to the upcoming Soulfly disc.
In our revealing podcast conversation, Peters discusses his love for thrash metal, his fear of snakes and insects, his new year's resolutions, Throwdown's 2008 touring plans and offers a sneak peak at the next Soulfly record.
