Hailing from Liverpool, Loathe are not so much a band as they are a sonic experiment in emotional contrast. Since their 2020 breakout album ‘I Let It In and It Took Everything’, they have positioned themselves at the intersection of metalcore, shoegaze and alternative metal, with hints of death metal. Loathe invite comparisons to early Deftones while firmly forging their own path. Their music shifts from suffocating heaviness to ethereal calm, crafting a dreamlike yet volatile experience. Lyrically they delve into trauma, disconnection and longing, often in poetic language. Loathe blends aggression with beauty, marking them as one of the UK’s most intriguing and genre‑pushing acts. Those fans who enjoy being challenged emotionally and sonically will not want to miss Loathe: their shows have depth and create a unique atmosphere. Influenced by the likes of Korn, Meshuggah, The Devil Wears Prada and Slipknot, their music appeals to fans of Wargasm, Phoxjaw, Fit for an Autopsy and more. (#GMM26)
