Die Spitz - Throw Yourself to the Sword (Official Music Video)
Die Spitz ripping through their debut single like they've got something to prove. Directed by Emily Sanchez. Gritty, loud, zero compromise. Third Man Records picked a winner.
Die Spitz open their debut album with a track that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go for three minutes. “Throw Yourself to the Sword” is the first taste of “Something to Consume,” released via Third Man Records. Jack White’s label picking up a band this aggressive tells you everything about where they think music is heading.
The video matches the energy perfectly. Director Emily Sanchez went for grimy and raw. Shadowy colour palette. Sharp cuts timed to the riffs. No effects budget wasted on making things look pretty. It feels like a basement show captured on film, which is exactly the right visual language for this kind of music.
Musically, it’s a straight punch. Riffs that sit somewhere between early crossover thrash and modern hardcore. The drums push the tempo without ever losing control. Vocals delivered like someone shouting through a wall. “Throw yourself to the sword, take what’s mine” is the kind of lyric that sticks in your skull after one listen. Simple. Aggressive. Effective.
This is a debut single that sounds like a band already fully formed. No fumbling around trying to find their sound. Die Spitz know exactly what they want to be and they execute it with the kind of conviction that separates real bands from the forgettable ones.
Album drops September 12th. If the rest of it hits this hard, keep an eye on this lot.
