Imagine the heavier side of a band like Slipknot, then the dreamier side of Deftones and the most brutal elements of Code Orange all fused together, and you have Loathe’s “I Let It In And It Took Everything”. The result is a stunning record that covers a lot of musical ground: songs like Red Room, Gored and Aggressive Evolution are some of the most punishing tracks of the year, while Two Way Mirror, Is It Really You? and A Sad Cartoon are gorgeous, soaring soundscapes that are no less enthralling. It’s only on their second record, Loathe are not just a band with potential: they are a band that have truly arrived. From here, they can go anywhere they want.
From the full-length album ‘I Let It In And It Took Everything’ out now and forever.
