The follow-up to 2009's polarizing Deathless, Intolerance, Throwdown's seventh studio album (and first in nearly five years), finds the Southern California-based rockers ditching the groove-metal angle of their last outing, which invoked names like Godsmack and Mudvayne, in favor of a more old-school approach that finds common ground between their hardcore roots and the Pantera-inspired sonic attack of 2007's Venom & Tears. Recorded at Hurley Recordings in Costa Mesa, California with producer Davey Warsop, Intolerance features 11 new tracks, including the single "Fight or Die."
