Thrown unveil official music video for new single “critic”

The new song “critic” from Swedish nu metalcore band thrown was released this morning, August 13, as per theprp. Although the music video, which was directed by Midvessel, is already available, the song will be available on streaming sites tomorrow.

Fueled by venomous vocals, bone-crushing grooves and explosive breakdowns, “critic” is a ruthless response to a culture obsessed with opinions, metrics and manufactured controversy. Rather than entertaining the constant stream of unsolicited judgment, thrown turn every accusation, hot take, and clickbait headline into pure creative fuel.

With lines like “All of a sudden everyone’s a critic” and “You really think I care if you don’t fuck with it?,” the band makes one thing abundantly clear: Outside validation means nothing when the music speaks louder than the noise surrounding it.

Lyrically, “critic” dismantles the obsession with streaming numbers, self-proclaimed experts and those desperately chasing relevance through negativity. It’s a fearless statement about staying true to your vision while refusing to be distracted by online outrage or empty commentary. Brutal, direct and relentlessly infectious, the track captures thrown at their most confident and uncompromising.’
