LOATHE - I LET IT IN AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING LOATHE

Loathe have been making waves in the British underground heavy music scene since their inception in 2014. Two EPs and one full-length debut album have already put them on the map and the band has already been nominated for Best New Band at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods and Best UK Breakthrough Band in the Heavy Music Awards. Their intense, visceral multi-media live show extravaganza has marked them out as a band who have ambitions far beyond that of their peers and now, with the release of their second full length album, 'I Let It In and It Took Everything', those ambitions are beginning to be realised. A myriad of different influences are being thrown into the Loathe melting pot, some that people might expect and others that would likely seem inconceivable for a band with such an acerbic sound. Both Radiohead and The 1975 are cornerstones in the approach Loathe take with their music, partly in a sonic sense but mainly in terms of being a band who strive to do whatever they want and cultivate a fan base that will follow them down some deep, experimental rabbit holes. And then there are specific influences that stem from outside of music as well; the soundtrack to 2001’s survival horror videogame 'Silent Hill 2', the ominous, disturbing aura created by 2019’s most divisive film 'Joker' or the entire works of serial brain scrambler David Lynch.
