Throwing bricks is a 5-piece sludge metal band from Utrecht
Throwing Bricks is a metal band based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. This five piece mixes slow
crushing sludge riffs with elements of hardcore punk, black metal and screamo.
Throwing Bricks’ music sounds angry and aggressive, but first and foremost it's emotionally
punishing. The feverish lyrics, brutal growls and intensely high screeches, low yet melodic guitar
work, grimy bass and pounding drums, they all share a feeling of hopelessness. No matter how hard
you fight against it, resistance is futile. Whether you like dark, brooding drones, slow and dragging
riffs or insanely fast blast beats, this band has got it all.
After releasing their albums ‘What Will Be Lost’ and ‘The Burden’ on Tartarus Records, the band is
back in 2024 for a split record with close friends and early collaborators Ontaard. They say a sorrow
shared, is a sorrow halved. Coincidentally, this record finds both bands reaching out to the help of
friends by collaborating with other musicians (Kim Hoorweg of Vulva a.o.) and pushing their own
boundaries. Besides all gloomy bleakness, this is the product of friends finding joy in heaviness. ‘Oud
Zeer’ is recorded & produced by Marius Prins (Throwing Bricks) at dB’s and Studio Moskou and
mastered by Tim de Gieter (Doodseskader, Amenra) at Much Luv Studios.
A Throwing Bricks live show is an emotional and intense experience. Get ready to be sucked into a
very heavy and loud void.
