THROES is a crushing Boise, Idaho, based band formed in 2014. Drawing on sludge, metallic hardcore, and doom-steeped aggression, THROES has carved out a reputation for relentless heaviness and visceral live performances. Their upcoming record, The Colorless Light of Emptiness (due Fall 2026), finds the band further exploring themes of loss, grief, self-hatred, corruption, climate collapse, and human fragility. Balancing focused, raw composition with moments of crushing sonic weight. The new material continues their tradition of confronting bleak emotional landscapes through dissonant punishing sonic intensity.

Known for a confrontational presence on record and on stage, THROES approaches recording and performance with the same intent—direct, unsparing, and difficult to ignore once it has passed.

“Throes are one of the most heavy, bleak, lightless doom bands on Earth.” — Kerrang! Magazine 

“Everything sounds menacing, towering, ugly, and still retains the band’s affinity for hardcore viciousness.” — Mathcore Index
