Swedish heavyweights thrown have officially launched the pre-order for their highly anticipated new album ‘UNWANTED’, set for release on November 6th, 2026 via Arising Empire.
Few bands in modern heavy music have experienced a rise quite like thrown. In just a few years, the Swedish four-piece have gone from one of the scene’s most exciting new names to a genuine international phenomenon, building a massive global audience with a sound that is instantly recognisable, relentlessly heavy and impossible to ignore.
Now, ‘UNWANTED’ captures thrown at the height of that momentum.
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.
thrown return to Australia in February 2027. This will be the bands biggest headline tour to date with special guests Conneticut’s Boundaries, Pittsburgh’s 156/Silence and opening proceedings will be Australia’s own Volatile Ways. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have already SOLD OUT. Full tour details below.
Since emerging from Stockholm, thrown have established themselves as one of the fastest-rising forces in modern heavy music. Their debut EP EXTENDED PAIN surpassed 50 million streams and remained in Spotify’s Global Metal Top 200 for nearly a year, while their acclaimed debut album EXCESSIVE GUILT catapulted the quartet onto the international stage. 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. The band has also been honoured with Heavy Music Awards wins for Best Breakthrough Live Artist (2024) and Best Breakthrough Album (2025). Today, thrown continue their meteoric rise with well over one million monthly Spotify listeners and hundreds of millions of streams worldwide.
