The Swedish heavy-hitters dial up the intensity with a chaotic new track ahead of their UK comeback this summer.

thrown have unleashed ‘split’, a blistering new single and video that sees the band leaning fully into their signature, no-holds-barred aggression.

Arriving just ahead of their return to the UK, including an appearance on Download Festival’s Opus Stage on Sunday, June 14, the track offers another crushing glimpse of what the band are capable of right now.

While thrown themselves have stayed tight-lipped on the release, ‘split’ is said to explore themes of losing control, self-doubt and the suffocating pressure of being trapped inside your own thoughts. It captures that spiralling moment where everything feels stuck, and nothing seems to move forward.

Watch the video for ‘split’ below.

Catch thrown live at Download on June 14 (get your tickets here), before they head down to Concorde II in Brighton the next day, and The Waterfront in Norwich the day after.
