Ever stumble out of a mosh pit and wonder if anything can match that pure, raw energy? Enter Die Spitz with their unapologetically fierce track “Throw Yourself to the Sword.” From the first riff to the last thundering drumbeat, the song claws its way into your skull, leaving you questioning why more bands don’t bring this level of intensity.
The music video is a visual assault that mirrors the track’s raw power. Directed by Emily Sanchez, it’s all gritty, no glitter. Sharp cuts and a shadowy color palette conjure up that classic underground vibe, resonating with anyone who’s ever lurked in the back of a dimly lit venue. Think something between an early Slayer clip and a fever dream after a particularly grueling sludge set.
The lyrics? They’re not playing nice, and thank Lemmy for that. Lines like “Throw yourself to the sword! Take what’s mine!” hit harder than a double-bass pedal at a Destruction gig. It’s a rallying cry for the disillusioned, the ones who’ve heard too many radio-friendly half-efforts and are starving for something with teeth.
“Throw Yourself to the Sword” is the opening act of their debut album ‘Something to Consume.’ It’s out September 12th via Third Man Records, and if it’s anything like this single, you better brace yourself. This track doesn’t just set the stage; it lights the damn thing on fire and dares you to come closer.
In the end, whether you’re smashing that replay button or diving into their tour dates, Die Spitz has delivered a brutal symphony that refuses to be ignored. And if you’re still reading this at 2AM, admit it: you’re already hooked. This song won’t just sit in your playlist; it’ll take over, much like that obscure doom vinyl you pretend you didn’t overpay for. Now, go pre-order the album. You’re welcome.
