Baseball season is roaring in its first full month in action and while my Mets are ABSOLUTE FUCKING DOGSHIT lately, that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize when metal shit happens in the MLB.

Swedish hardcore/metalcore bandThrownare back with a new single this morning titled “split”. It’s a standalone single at this point, since there’s no word of a new record (but I’m willing to bet that’s coming soon). You can check the track out below.
