Mormon temple ritual in which they move their hand across their lower stomach/bowels (not throat, sorry, it’s been a long time since I left Mormonism) and vow to spill the blood of enemies of the Mormon church
This is part of a ritual called “the endowment” which is required for every person to do if they want to get into the highest level of heaven, called “the Celestial Kingdom”. Someone who receives this endowment ritual (which is most practicing adult Mormons) is called “endowed”. This endowment ritual can only be performed inside a Mormon temple.
I’m an exmo as well, the gestures you’re talking about were removed in 1990, and it was never about vowing to spill the blood of enemies. It was about secrecy, framed in stark death-before-dishonor terms.
And throat slit vow

Your version is more metal and exciting, though.
