Loathe

About

Loathe: A sonic tapestry woven from nightmares and ethereal beauty, this Liverpool quintet isn't just pushing the boundaries of metalcore; they're obliterating them. With a sound that’s as devastating as it is delicate, Loathe crafts immersive soundscapes where guttural screams collide with shimmering ambience. Their music is a potent cocktail of Deftones' dreaminess, Slipknot's intensity, and My Bloody Valentine's textural experimentation, forging a unique identity within the saturated heavy music landscape. Emerging from the UK underground, Loathe’s 2017 debut, *The Cold Sun*, established their signature blend of brutality and atmosphere, but it was *I Let It In and It Took Everything* (2020) that cemented their place as innovators. This critically acclaimed album expanded their sonic palette, incorporating elements of shoegaze and alternative rock to create a truly unsettling and captivating listening experience. Known for their intensely cathartic live performances, Loathe has shared stages with the likes of Architects and Beartooth, further solidifying their reputation as a formidable force. Recent projects suggest a continued evolution, hinting at even more ambitious sonic explorations. Loathe isn’t just a band; it’s an experience – a journey into the depths of despair and the glimmer of hope that lies within.
