Two Eps and one full-length debut album have already put them on the map and the band has already been nominated for \u003cstrong\u003eBest New Band\u003c\/strong\u003e at the \u003cstrong\u003eMetal Hammer Golden Gods\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBest UK Breakthrough Band \u003c\/strong\u003ein the \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Music Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Let It In and It Took Everything\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e, \u003c\/em\u003ethose ambitions are beginning to be realised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDebut full-length \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Cold Sun\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ewas a heady hybrid of meaty down-tuned riffs, lacerating screams and pile-driving rhythms. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Let It In and It Took Everything\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eretains those elements, albeit delivered with a searing potency and sharpened focus that bests its predecessor in almost every conceivable way. Rather than existing within one style or taking one approach, \u003cstrong\u003eLoathe\u003c\/strong\u003e pepper their music with a range of influences and musical motifs that move fluidly and give the Liverpool quintet a dynamism that was merely hinted at before. Their palette has widened significantly and surprises are plentiful; shimmering guitars, layered synths, unhinged guitar effects, a stronger emphasis on ethereal clean vocals and even elements that echo the sheer sonic brutality that epitomises black metal.It all adds up to a release that is dynamic in extremis and yet remarkably cohesive as guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eErik Bickerstaffe\u003c\/strong\u003e attests. ‘\u003cem\u003eI always want \u003cstrong\u003eLoathe\u003c\/strong\u003e to be eclectic, a monster with many different faces but to make sure that it all sits in the same universe as well.’\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA myriad of different influences are being thrown into the \u003cstrong\u003eLoathe \u003c\/strong\u003emelting pot, some that people might expect and others that would likely seem inconceivable for a band with such an acerbic sound. Both \u003cstrong\u003eRadiohead\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eThe 1975\u003c\/strong\u003e are cornerstones in the approach \u003cstrong\u003eLoathe\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilent Hill 2\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ominous, disturbing aura created by 2019’s most divisive film \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eJoker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eor the entire works of serial brain scrambler \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Lynch\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe likes of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAggressive Evolution\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Faces in the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ewill be familiar to those already acquainted with the band’s dizzying hybrid of industrial bluster and hardcore energy.
