‘The Cold Sun’ is a concept record; a compelling 35 minute long meandering into the depths of a dark, post-apocalyptic tale. The record follows the adjacent timeline of two protagonists, who exist during a dystopian future, stricken by tragedy and the ever looming apocalypse.
Rock Sound
“It’s one thing being conceptual with your artistic output, but creating an entire alternative universe with your music is quite another. That’s exactly what Liverpool’s Loathe have done though…
If they carry on the way they are though, Loathe – and their apocalyptic futurescape – will be hitting stages that could satisfy their appetites and then some. Steeped in mystery, watch as they break out of the shadows”
Kerrang!
“If you’re hoping Loathe sound as angry as their name, you won’t be disappointed – imagine all your favourite things about death, tech, nu and alt.metal rolled into one lethal package…
With plenty of coiling Meshuggah-esque riffs bringing the bludgeon, they hit hard… with atmospheric melodies that wouldn’t have been out of place on a Deftones record circa 2000…”
Metal Hammer
“There are experiments with 80s darkwave synth on 3990, whilst The Omission dabbles with UNKLE-style big beat rhythms. These curveballs make Loathe sound even heavier when they get their metallic side spot on; P.U.R.P.L.E could stand shoulder to shoulder with Architects at their most epic and feels much more crushing after coming off of the back of the aforementioned sonic flights of fancy”

LOATHE are a sedulous collective of 5, formed in the UK‘s industrial and artistically acclaimed port-city, Liverpool. Their debut record ‘The Cold Sun’ signifies a forceful and shrewd testimony. The quintet nail their colours to the mast with this resolute mission statement; an ode to the times we’re living in and the murky future that we all find ourselves faced with.
For ‘The Cold Sun’, LOATHE travelled to Glow In The Dark Studios in Atlanta, Georgia to record under the watchful eye of producer Matt McClellan (Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, Being As An Ocean…).
The result is a highly accomplished chronicle, an undoubtedly passionate oeuvre brimming with technical precision, sinister ambience and bitter bile. LOATHE offer a complex sonic architecture which weaves together post-punk, hardcore, heavy electronics, djent and deathcore with a side of prog… melding their sonic threads into a searingly surreal entity which reels you deep into the abyss.
