Thrown (stylized in lowercase or uppercase) is a Swedish nu metalcore band formed in 2019, and are signed to Arising Empire. The group consists of vocalist Marcus Lundqvist, guitarists Johan Liljeblad and Andreas Malm, and drummer/producer Buster Odeholm (Humanity's Last Breath and Vildhjarta).
The band released their debut album, Excessive Guilt (stylized in uppercase), in August 2024, consisting of 11 songs in a total length of just over 20 minutes.
History In 2019, vocalist Marcus Lundqvist and guitarist Andreas Malm had an idea to try new things and create more of a modern metal band when compared to their previous band, and contacted Buster Odeholm, the drummer for Vildhjärta and multi-instrumentalist for Humanity's Last Breath. Marcus and Andreas originally wanted Buster to be their producer, but became their drummer as well. Finally, they asked Johan Liljeblad, a stand-in guitarist for Marcus and Andreas's previous band, if he wanted to join in, and Johan accepted. During quarantine, the band spent a lot of their time writing songs for Thrown.
In 2022, the band released their debut EP, Extended Pain, including the three singles prior, and went on tour with Counterparts. While releasing songs, the band also toured with Invent Animate and Fit for a King in 2023, and are touring with Spite, Alpha Wolf, and While She Sleeps in 2024. Alongside these tours, they've also supported Knocked Loose, Architects, and August Burns Red, but only for a few shows rather than a whole tour. On 30 August, the band released their debut studio album, titled Excessive Guilt.
On 23 September 2026, the band announced their next studio album, titled Unwanted, to be released on 6 November.
Musical style Thrown's style has been described as nu metalcore, hardcore, metalcore, and nu metal.
Thrown's style has also been associated with the label "pissed-core", a subgenre of nu metalcore. According to Brothers In RAW, Thrown are often called the "poster boys for pissed core". In a 2024 interview with Metal Hammer the band rejected the term, stating "I'm not sure it's that accurate, to be honest. I'm not going to pretend that we aren't super-pissed off about a lot of stuff... but so are a lot of other genres."
