About the Artist

Loathe, hailing from Liverpool, have carved a unique niche for themselves in the extreme music scene. Since their inception, they have consistently defied easy categorization, blending elements of nu-metal, industrial, shoegaze, and atmospheric black metal into a sound that is both brutal and beautiful. Their early work, particularly their debut album 'The Coldest Day in Life', showcased a raw aggression, while subsequent releases like 'I Let It In and It Took Everything' demonstrated a remarkable evolution, incorporating more melodic and atmospheric textures without sacrificing their signature intensity. Their latest offering, 'The Noise', continues this trajectory, pushing sonic boundaries and exploring darker, more introspective themes.
