HACKSAW TO THE THROAT is a band from the San Francisco bay area that is based on the idea of constant change. The band started as a 2-man grindcore assault, which soon evolved into a 4-man death metal band, transforming into the not so easily classified band they are today. Their influences range from Neurosis, Pig Destroyer, Cryptopsy, and Converge to Taiko, Radiohead, Majority Rule, Ludicra, and Godspeed You Black Emperor.
Hacksaw's debut album Tear My Eyes Out.... was recorded in 2003 and self-distributed until late 2005 when it was officially put out and distributed internationally by Flood The Earth Records and Cursed Productions.
The band has worked hard to promote themselves by playing lots of shows in the bay area, and traveling up and down the west coast as much as possible. Hacksaw to the Throat have now recorded a second full length album titled Wastelands which is a major departure from anything the band has ever released. Wastelands (Doomed by Dawn records, 2007) AVAILABLE NOW
