   About Throwdown Syndicate
Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Raw in your face metal. No gimmicks. No bullshit. Politically and racially charged. This is reality. Washington D.C. – the same city where over 25 years ago the band Bad Brains created the genre that is nowadays referred to as hardcore, and now where we find modern pioneers Throwdown Syndicate who combine elements from various styles such as hardcore, grindcore, and hip-hop to create a new and unique genre of aggressive metal. There is never any limit placed on the sound however, and once you attend a Throwdown Syndicate show, you quickly realize forays into blues, funk, and instrumental based hip-hop are not uncommon. On the latest release, The Ghetto Metal EP, James Reeves wrote all the lyrics and performed all the vocals, guitars, and bass. Mike Britt performed all the drums on the record. The EP was recorded at Oblivion Studios and engineered and mixed by Mike Bossier who can be reached at (301) 574-0980. Throwdown Syndicate has recently acquired guitarist Brian Flythe and are playing live regularly to promote the new album

BID-A-LOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Orchestrator of murder and composer of death
I'll leave your head slumped over with your nose in your chest
A mass mess as death increases
Nigga fuck rest in peace, U gonna rest in pieces
Battle me and you'll be battle scarred
I'm sick enough 2 fuck a bitch in the ass with a cattle prod
I got dead corpse vessicles in dry walls
Next 2 a jar fulla testicles and eyeballs
Multiple Manson, sick in the mind
Quick 2 define your demise with a click of a nine
Worse than the eyes can see when I'm done with em'
So many sides 2 me, this is one of em'
I scatter body parts over Florida Ave.
Or the corridor, U gonna need a coroner bad
Bring your families 2 cry out and morn
And if this rap shit don't work, I'ma try out 4 porn.....

Mar 26 2008 8:22 PM

Hey, what's up. I'm back, again. Well. Luis gave me a great idea for a name for a band (Efil) and he wanted to add Evol to the name. To make a long story short, I came up with LOve instead of Evol. Anyway, let me know if Luis wants partial rights to the trade mark. Love Efil is his idea. If you guys don't care, cool.
So, take it easy and tell Luis I said thanks, Bill ----
