The first killing frost occurs in mid to late October every year in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA, but for one of the city's own, THRODL, the 'killing floor' occurs every time this brutal heavy metal act steps onto the stage. Founded in 2001, THRODL is a five-piece musical unit of mass destruction that pulls no punches when it comes to making their own crushing sonic statement. Fusing sounds of death/hardcore with old school punk and thrash, THRODL is that rare band that actually represents today's young and disillusioned the way they want to be: one hundred percent pissed off. Through their music, they help the listener reflect on the pain in society and everyday struggles that we all experience, whether caught in the throes of poverty or being lost in your own mind, THRODL's third full length studio album to date, entitled No Honour In Exile, was released via DRP Records in the U.S. on May 4, 2010 and is a lesson in pure melodic violence. The CD received international distribution by MVD Entertainment and has the group at its most fiercest with thirteen songs that will pummel heads like they're being bounced around in the pit on a hot day in good ole Radiation, PA. Along with Brad Roche on vocals, the explosive lineup features bassist Kevin Moyer, drummer Justin Skipper, along with guitarists Mike Fidler and Mike Ciotti. As quoted by Pennsylvania Musician 'Zine, "THRODL has a sound/live show which can be compared to a landslide hitting a village." The Metal Den adds: "I hear the future of metal today. and the strains are coming from a furious experimental entity named THRODL."
