Alt-metal band rising from the ashes in low country
Throw the Last Stone is scheduled to release their debut EP, “In My Wake”, in the spring of 2024. The record showcases the band’s proprietary blend of melody, groove and aggression. The result is a potent cocktail of emotional alchemy, garnished with relatable lyrical themes and intoxicating guitar solos.
Combining influences of thrash, grunge, nü-metal and metalcore, Throw the Last Stone repurposes these elements to create a unique sound of their own. For fans of Alice in Chains, Down, Sevendust and Avenged Sevenfold — brace yourself… Throw the Last Stone is set for impact.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Throw the Last Stone began in 2022 by Drew Graves as a form of self-therapy. “I was going through a dark period,” explains Graves,” and refused to indulge my vices, so I turned to my guitar and began to write music again — harnessing the negative energy I experienced and converting it into something positive.”
After a couple of months, these ‘therapy’ sessions evolved into a ‘Purpose’, and by the summer of 2023, Graves completed a collection of songs and set out to record an album. Performing vocals, guitars and bass, Graves summoned Chicago-musician/producer, Steve Pahl, to assist with percussion duties.
