Thrown New Zealand Tour With 156/silence

Since emerging from Stockholm, Thrown have established themselves as one of the fastest-rising forces in modern heavy music. Extensive touring alongside acts including Knocked Loose, Counterparts, Fit For A King, While She Sleeps, Wage War and many more has cemented their reputation as one of metalcore's most explosive live bands. Today, Thrown continue their meteoric rise with well over one million monthly Spotify listeners and hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. Thrown recently released "critic," a ferocious new single out now via Arising Empire. Sharp-tongued, crushingly heavy and unapologetically confrontational, the track takes aim at self-appointed tastemakers, performative outrage and the endless cycle of online commentary, proving once again that thrown thrive where others merely make noise. Fuelled by venomous vocals, bone-crushing grooves and explosive breakdowns, "critic" is a ruthless response to a culture obsessed with opinions, metrics and manufactured controversy.

156/Silence are also making their debut to our shores where they'll bring their intense, foreboding, and haunting music. Their songs are cinematic, blending brutality with intellect. They draw on real and imagined terror, all woven into melody and power. The band will release their sixth studio album, From A Distance, on September 4, 2026, through Pure Noise Records
