I have no idea how they did it. This album literally is the exact sound I’ve been looking for my entire life, like this album fires off all the serotonin in my brain 10/10 I ordered a shirt
Exactly the same for me, been looking for a good atmospheric/viby metal band that still slaps hard at the same time. Finally found it when looking around on Amazon Music of all places lol
i remember i had made a normal playlist and heard the transition and even with rhe cut off i never realized they were different songs it was so beautiful
I love how they add elements of Shoegaze, Nü Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal, Electronic, Metalcore, Art Rock, and Progressive Metal all in one. This album was like a breath of fresh air. My favorite release this year. They have so much potential.
I've been listening to music for almost 30 years now. I've listened to countless bands and genres as I'm sure many of us have. This is my first time listening to these guys. I can't express how I'm feeling right now having listened to the full album. I'm absolutely dumbfounded at how this album has almost immediately risen to the top of that "imaginary favorite band/album" list we all keep in our head. The last time I ever felt like this about music was when I first heard "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" while playing Matt Hoffman's MXBX on PS1 and later the entire Around the Fur album on the school bus. This album, in my opinion, is a masterpiece. Plain and simple. Thanks to these guys for bringing back that overwhelming feeling of pure amazement.
Fuck it. This is my favorite album of all time. My top pick, this mixes horrific soundscapes, beautiful chord work, delightfully heart wrenching ambience, gruesomely heavy riffs and vocals, and the aching singing and inspired melodies of emo. I have very specific tastes and this album hits all of that. Unless if their next album somehow gets better writing and more cohesion, this is my favorite album and is my GOAT. It has everything I need.
@rose4526 If I can convince you to listen to Nirguna "Convergence" album too, that would be sweet. Please, try - it's an easy listen as an instrumental-only.
Yeah you called it. I see and listened to so many suggestions and comparisons in the comments, but there's nothing else like this album quite honestly. It's in a league of its own.
Thanks for validating how I have felt over the passed year. A new number 1 band and an album that I literally can not stop enjoying, and yes, I have tried. ILII...AITE is as good as it gets here on Earth, and Loathe are some of the most endearing dudes from all I can tell. Let's all be fans they deserve and have their backs in the trying times to come in the wake of this pure gut busting rawness, never before seen by the likes of mankind 🎉✨
This is my fav album of all time. Like I get the deftones comparison but I feel like its so overused with this band they've really made their own thing. I get the fact that they use long strumming chords and have similar progressions plus the singing is similar but to me it feels like they really made that sound their own. Deftones feels like chino is singing about sex right into your ear while Loathe feels like Erik is singing about his love for beauty and peace in your ear. Also kadeem's screams are so aggressive its amazing.
Comparing them to Deftones imo is a massive compliment. The reason you dont hear other bands sound like them is because that sound is hard to get right. These guys did it while still obviously having their own sound. Deftones was never this heavy or gritty. Its really refreshing.
This record is ahead of modern Deftones in almost every way imo. I say this as a lifelong tones fan. "I let it in and it took everything" really pushed the limit. It has naturally heavy and mellow parts. It smashes, it slaps, it builds up, it blows up, it does fucking everything. Modern Deftones do not. What a legendary record
@@justinunger3526 Vexed too, but their sound is blatantly deftones worship. Boris has elements of this every now and again, but like Loathe they're (famously) all over the place.
Wow I have to say this was an experience. I was coding and I thought I would listen some music while coding, so I joined to youtube and this appeared in recommendations. The album started with an Intro, and then 2 good songs, at this point I thought, "ok this is good, I'm actually doing some good coding with this band". But then "Two-way mirror" kicked in. Man I had to stop doing what was doing becase I knew this would be an experience, and I don't want to miss this out. and ohhh man I wasn't wrong. Then "Is it really you" started. I knew this would be breathtaking. So at this point I decided to enjoy and let myself in. I opened a beer and sat in my couch. From "Two way mirror" the trip started but from "Is it really you" my whole day changed. This is a masterpiece and it took me by surprise. Beetwen the technical caos and the Deftones feeling, I really can't describe the sound of what I heard. I have never listened to this band and it appeared in my youtube recommendation I'm glad it appeared.
Hearing it for the first time today. I'm a colossal Deftones/ Crosses fanboy so... I don't need to say more than that to express what I think of this album
I love albums that I can listen to from start to finish, back to back. This is one of those albums. The diversity and range that they have is astounding. I get so many vibes from Deftones, Danza, Glass Cloud, Title Fight, The Contortionist, Deafheaven, etc. like wut. This album is a masterpiece.
Not enough people are talking about the drummer. They switch so effortlessly and cleanly through every genre it's amazing Edit: how the hell did a pronoun argument start in the comments? I just used the word “they”
This is trite, but I can confirm the drummer is a man, so you can say "he" instead of "they" as people do in normal every day speech. I agree, he's v good!

The way I perceive the world and interact with others is molded by the experiences I encounter with music, as I believe it plays a massive role for my purpose in life. When I listen to this album, even the heavy tracks, I cannot hold back the tears. It is as if Loathe knew exactly what my soul needed to hear in order to shape and grow me as a person. Every emotion is highlighted to the fullest extent by these songs. I Let It In And It Took Everything has encoded itself into my DNA, and will forever remain one of my favorite discoveries of this entire universe.
Recently discovered these guys and honestly I've had a hard time consistently listening to other music and not coming back to this album. Never has "it hits different" felt like such an accurate description for something till now personally
I've also just discovered them like two days ago and I'm in love with them already. It's just beyond my understanding, how they can literally rip your head off in one song and make you cry in the next. Spotify did an amazing job
Been playing this album on repeat since Ive first listened to it. best songs for me are new faces, screaming, heavy is the head, sad cartoon, pretty much can listen to the whole thing without skipping , absolutely love this album
This album, and band is truly special! Nothing like it. I grew up at the age of 12 in love with white pony. while the influence is strong, and it brings the same feels, it's a whole different beast on its own!
Was watching this metal TV show in Costa Rica, they put the "New faces in the dark" video....I was immediately hooked with them. To this day, in monthly repeat with this album....
This album is so incredible. It makes me feel things I haven't felt since I was a kid discovering all of my favorite bands and artists for the first time. When I listen to this album, I imagine the calming vibe of the intro to be when you're still outside the metaphorical "door" they speak of. you can hear a door open at the end of the intro and it just goes straight into heaviness, as if you just opened that door and you're transported into whatever chaotic "realm" the door leads to. Then throughout the record, you're forced to confront all sorts of feelings of despair, depression, loss and grief, and confronting your own self and your fears. Each track makes you feel something different. Then, the final track being the title track, to me shows that you've accepted your fate and that everything you've been experiencing has fully consumed you, hence it taking everything. Obviously this is just my headcanon, but this is how I feel whenever I put this record on. This is my favorite heavy album ever made and I will continue to enjoy it for years.
Fun fact: That voice is the bass player's mom saying "Broken Vision Rythm" in Arabic. The guitarist (Erik) edited the audio which makes it sound sinister af
Cool band. Beautiful clean parts and the heavy parts they have remind me of a project called "Nemertines" that I encourage everyone to check out if they like this.
Sabrina is seriously one of the most underrated metal artists. He's brilliant. I still get goosebumps every time I hear the first note of "The Birds Are Back". That dude delivers an eerie atmosphere like no one else.
I thought this right away lol, glad others know about and even notice Nemertines' fairly distinct sound in other projects. Another project those sections remind me of heavily is one called A.I.(d), which is like if Nemertines listened to Veil of Maya's [id] (they even covered "Martyrs" from that album, it's almost better than the original, arguably) and also started listening to a lot of chillout and EDM... so yeah it's like Nemertines but with 20x more glitchy electronic sounds to it, basically. Oh, another one that's super down the djent-route is Djanks & Drewves, some parts make me feel hints of that sound, too... They're basically glitch-djent, but they are less like Nemertines or A.I.(d) and more like Anup Sastry's solo albums (which kick ass, btw) and Save Us From The Archon, if SUFTA was glitchy, basically.
As many listeners have added their experience of the album, I'd like to share mine. It is incredible how the intro and the first two songs bring me to such a rush of adrenaline and euphoria. The rhythm gets faster and faster, the riffs angrier and angrier. And then you let all that adrenaline go and Two-way mirror starts. Of course the album is much more then those four first tracks, but I just wanted to highlight what a musical opener is these set of "a intro + three songs". They would have been perfect even if in an EP alone. But luckily these guys decided to continue to tell the story of this LP.
Sucha phenominal effort this record produced by the band with George Lever! Can't get it out of my head. I don't hear their influences anymore after so many spins. Of course there are so many new, upcoming fresh fantastic bands out there but this is next level of heavy emotional music!! All the love! ❤️❤️❤️
Perfectly paced album. I went through the whole rollercoaster of emotions. Curious to angry, to compassionate, back to furious, and then to reminiscent, then regret. Theres power in this music
Usually metal to this degree sort of turns me off a bit, personally I always lean more towards a balance of heavy music while also having softer cleaner vocals, but something about this band man, Idk.....the way that they produce metal music, its so different from everyone else. They just do it with so much more flavor, you feel a much deeper meaning behind every single one of these songs. They deliver an experience in music that I personally don't get from many bands today. Definitely the most interesting band I've discovered in a long time, I'm SO excited for their future
Adding to the plethora of comments akin to this. I first heard "Two-Way Mirror" through Spiritbox and ERRA fans. And I liked the song, but it didn't completely take me over until a few listens without interruption or background noise. Then I heard Screaming, New Faces in the Dark, Is it Really You and fuck me, I'm a Loathe fan now, dammit. A Sad Cartoon, the Title track, the list goes, on, sure, 1 or 2 songs aren't my favourites, but they are still really good. This album does things to you, man. It's like you know others won't get the same reaction you did, but you still go "you've goooooot to check these dudes out" anyway. The funny thing is that I'm constantly hearing people compare elements of their sound to Deftones, and I definitely get why, but I really don't like Deftones that much, yet this is fucking incredible.
Yup I hear it! I like how they use it but don't beat you over the head with it. Its feels like a nice homage whilst putting a unique twist on it and stripping it roght down to gently strummed acoustic was a stroke of genius...
Its so funny that chino literally admits that was their attempt to sellout and take direction from the label and it still bangs harder than any nu metal.of the time. They're incapable of being disengenuous...
@@karlpaquette6139(Edit, nevermind I thought you were replying to the comment above, not the original comment, my mistake) Pink Maggit was a genuine song on White Pony. The "Back to School" that uses same riffs and motives as Pink Maggit was their nu-metal single they didn't care about and did only because label wanted something "cool" and "edgy".
Still remember the DAY I discovered this album. I heard it probably 5 times front to back. I went online and immediately ordered the album on vinyl. On that search, I noticed that they were playing in my city about 10 days later, so I immediately booked a ticket. To this day, that live performance at Omeara in London is one of my favorite live music experiences. The moshing , the release of energy, the performance, the vulnerability and aggression in equal measures. Can't wait to see them again and go absolutely crazy.
I think the most exceptional thing this band does is take it's similarities and influences, brings them into their songs, but not to the point where it feels like theyve ripped off anyone's sound. They are the perfect For fans of ________ band. I hear Deftones, Periphery, Dillinger Escape Plan, Norma Jean, and many others. Talk about genre bending.
Listening on a recommendation from a TH-camr whose assessments of music I generally respect and often end up agreeing with. Yes, this is interesting and very tasty. Bewildering but in a good way. I like the compositional approach and execution. And I'm stopping there while my attempts to describe my reaction still make sense.
First time hearing these guys and I'm absolutely hooked. I keep hearing so many sounds and influences from the Deftones to almost a Silent Hill/Akira Yamaoka influence in the melodic tracks. "Screaming" sounds straight out of SH3's ost at times. Brilliant.
It's weird how you discover bands. I've never even heard of these guys until just recently. I dunno how I haven't heard anyone talking about them until now. They're actually pretty amazing. I was just scrolling through the sharptone videos because of currents and 156/silence. Definitely my favorite label for this kind of music! Thanks sharptone!
Face away Deal with the pain Your own way How could they deal with the pain? I knew That it was mine too And you? Is it really you? Let's search the sky for a while You and I Collide like two stars for a while You and I Crushed by silent snow Not the first I know Caught in ebb and flow I'm bleeding out, oh you know Is it really you? Let's search the sky for a while You and I Collide like two stars for a while You and I
Criminally underrated band, criminally underrated album. As soon as I finished listening to this masterpiece I found out they're playing near my city this month. Instantly bought tickets.
The day they launched this album, (i didn't listen to the singles) I was preparing myself, since i listened "Theme" i was thinking, "im about to listen the best album in my entire life". And that's it, the best album in the 20"
I started watching The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Official Pre-Launch Trailer and at the same time this album auto-played in the background. I think I just found a new "Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz" combination, it worked perfectly.
Take a step back Knowing all that's real Breathe out Alone again Drowning in the noise The slow learner Distance in fire that surrounds us There are pyres all around you Can you see? Do you see them? Distance Leaving Like the first time I did Screaming Like the first time Doesn't always have to be so black and white Pull the wool over my eyes one last time One last time Take a step back Letting go the fear Tonight I am alone again All I hear is noise Deafening Hopelessly I have no voice But I'm screaming Living in tragedy And now nothing is how it once seemed Distance Leaving Like the first time I did Screaming Like the first time Doesn't always have to be so black and white Pull the wool over my eyes one last time One last time I will write to you Through the stars and the clouds With threads in the air Trade your dreams with mine Distance Leaving Like the first time I did Screaming Doesn't always have to be so black and white Pull the wool over my eyes one last time One last time One last time
In bloom, you sing Such beautiful colours What a shame In this world, that beauty alerts the others Fray from the light 'Till you see it I'm gone "Stare into my eyes I'll show you who I am inside It's simple I'm certain from behind the curtain It's in your hands this time" Colours are swirling Now that we're falling What are the odds? Now that we're falling Colours are swirling Why were you lost? Inside a room of red Through the window Just know you found me So now you know "Stare into my eyes I'll show you who I am inside It's simple I'm certain from behind the curtain It's in your hands this time" And still, it wasn't enough to make you say "What would you do if you weren't afraid?"
Getting mad Acacia Strain Wormwood era vibes from Broken Vision Rhythm, sick song and the whole album is a great listen throughout, especially the follow up song. Two-Way mirror definitely fleshes out that Deftones gap, also that intro to A Sad Cartoon is mad Minerva vibes, great stuff guys. Please keep releasing music🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Check out Alcest for a combination of similar genres. It's a French band that pioneered the blackgaze genre. Their album souvenirs d'un autre mond is waaay more tame than this album but well worth a listen.
For so long, I've moaned and complained about how so many metalcore bands shoehorn in different styles (like clean choruses, interludes, etc) because "that's what they're supposed to do" - aka their label told them they had to. I hate that. Make it work or don't put it in at all. There is nothing worse than a fast paced metalcore song being interrupted by some poppy generic clean section with a basic 8-5-0-3 chord progression. With that being said, this fucking album, is like 10 different genres, all executed perfectly, in a way I have never before witnessed. It's so organic despite every style seeming like they should clash with one another. Post-rock, shoegaze, psychedelic rock, grunge, nu-metal, metalcore, deathcore, hell even how they chromaticize some of their heavy sections is EXTREMELY reminiscent of how blues and jazz musicians organize their progressions. I have never seen a band of any genre show such ability to not only switch styles on the fly, but to do so in a way that is so well done, and so powerfully executed, that every time the style changes leading into another section, it does so in a way that literally PULLS you out of the section that was just playing and engulfs you into what seems like an entire new song, almost as if you changed playlists. And they somehow do this while still keeping every section and song within context. Absolute insanity. One in a million.
Loathe is exactly what chiodos was aiming to be and never truly hit the mark on, sounds just like what I imagine was going thru the noggin of whoever wrote the chiodos material that they struggled to make tangible
I found it, the heaviest band out there with 6 strings that I have heard and one of the few who have baritone guitars in their music. I like how at times this band reminds me of the Deftones while still remaining their own. I think they should go on tour with the Deftones.
This album played next after something else and I was gonna change it but got distracted. What an unexpected surprise, this was exactly how I was feeling. Great album.

I keep replaying those 2 back to back🖤 WHAT BLISS!

This album, and band is truly special! Nothing like it. I grew up at the age of 12 in love with white pony. while the influence is strong, and it brings the same feels, it's a whole different beast on its own!
do you ever hear a song so good you start tearing up, regardless of lyrics? that was me with i let it in and it took everything. absolute masterpiece.
Yes, good songs make me tear up all the time. I know we could be friends now.
i couldn't care less about Lyrics in any song
If you haven't yet, you should check out the take me back to eden album by sleep token. You will likely have a similar reaction to several songs on it
@@Paladin1034 Thanks for the recommendations, blood.
@@coryleblanc Maybe you'd care about some instrumentals-only album. I can recommend Nirguna "Convergence" - no lyrics to care about there for sure.
that little break where it's just the dry guitar in the left ear in Broken Vision Rhythm, I've never fuckin grinned that hard in my entire life
Was watching this metal TV show in Costa Rica, they put the "New faces in the dark" video....I was immediately hooked with them. To this day, in monthly repeat with this album....
So glad I stumbled upon Loathe and Holy Fawn
This album is so incredible. It makes me feel things I haven't felt since I was a kid discovering all of my favorite bands and artists for the first time. When I listen to this album, I imagine the calming vibe of the intro to be when you're still outside the metaphorical "door" they speak of. you can hear a door open at the end of the intro and it just goes straight into heaviness, as if you just opened that door and you're transported into whatever chaotic "realm" the door leads to. Then throughout the record, you're forced to confront all sorts of feelings of despair, depression, loss and grief, and confronting your own self and your fears. Each track makes you feel something different. Then, the final track being the title track, to me shows that you've accepted your fate and that everything you've been experiencing has fully consumed you, hence it taking everything. Obviously this is just my headcanon, but this is how I feel whenever I put this record on. This is my favorite heavy album ever made and I will continue to enjoy it for years.
4:47 min: that whispering voice gave me chills. It really felt as if someone you can't see were next to you
Fun fact: That voice is the bass player's mom saying "Broken Vision Rythm" in Arabic. The guitarist (Erik) edited the audio which makes it sound sinister af
New fan here, this is absolutely amazing. 10/10.
Metalcore + Shoegaze = This masterpiece
Cool band. Beautiful clean parts and the heavy parts they have remind me of a project called "Nemertines" that I encourage everyone to check out if they like this.
I noticed the chorus for Aggressive Evolution is pretty similar guitar-wise to Intimate by Nemertines
Fucking love Nemertines, dude! Good call! 🔥❤
Sabrina is seriously one of the most underrated metal artists. He's brilliant. I still get goosebumps every time I hear the first note of "The Birds Are Back". That dude delivers an eerie atmosphere like no one else.
White walls boiiiii
I thought this right away lol, glad others know about and even notice Nemertines' fairly distinct sound in other projects. Another project those sections remind me of heavily is one called A.I.(d), which is like if Nemertines listened to Veil of Maya's [id] (they even covered "Martyrs" from that album, it's almost better than the original, arguably) and also started listening to a lot of chillout and EDM... so yeah it's like Nemertines but with 20x more glitchy electronic sounds to it, basically.
Oh, another one that's super down the djent-route is Djanks & Drewves, some parts make me feel hints of that sound, too... They're basically glitch-djent, but they are less like Nemertines or A.I.(d) and more like Anup Sastry's solo albums (which kick ass, btw) and Save Us From The Archon, if SUFTA was glitchy, basically.
As many listeners have added their experience of the album, I'd like to share mine.
It is incredible how the intro and the first two songs bring me to such a rush of adrenaline and euphoria. The rhythm gets faster and faster, the riffs angrier and angrier. And then you let all that adrenaline go and Two-way mirror starts. Of course the album is much more then those four first tracks, but I just wanted to highlight what a musical opener is these set of "a intro + three songs". They would have been perfect even if in an EP alone. But luckily these guys decided to continue to tell the story of this LP.
completely agree💯🔥🖤
Please, share your thoughts as well in the comment section of Nirguna "Convergence" album, cause you certainly know your ways with musical emotions.
36:56 is so underrated. Very beautiful, yet so short, sadly.
Sucha phenominal effort this record produced by the band with George Lever! Can't get it out of my head. I don't hear their influences anymore after so many spins. Of course there are so many new, upcoming fresh fantastic bands out there but this is next level of heavy emotional music!! All the love! ❤️❤️❤️
Perfectly paced album. I went through the whole rollercoaster of emotions. Curious to angry, to compassionate, back to furious, and then to reminiscent, then regret. Theres power in this music
Usually metal to this degree sort of turns me off a bit, personally I always lean more towards a balance of heavy music while also having softer cleaner vocals, but something about this band man, Idk.....the way that they produce metal music, its so different from everyone else. They just do it with so much more flavor, you feel a much deeper meaning behind every single one of these songs. They deliver an experience in music that I personally don't get from many bands today. Definitely the most interesting band I've discovered in a long time, I'm SO excited for their future
Adding to the plethora of comments akin to this.
I first heard "Two-Way Mirror" through Spiritbox and ERRA fans. And I liked the song, but it didn't completely take me over until a few listens without interruption or background noise.
Then I heard Screaming, New Faces in the Dark, Is it Really You and fuck me, I'm a Loathe fan now, dammit.
A Sad Cartoon, the Title track, the list goes, on, sure, 1 or 2 songs aren't my favourites, but they are still really good. This album does things to you, man. It's like you know others won't get the same reaction you did, but you still go "you've goooooot to check these dudes out" anyway.
The funny thing is that I'm constantly hearing people compare elements of their sound to Deftones, and I definitely get why, but I really don't like Deftones that much, yet this is fucking incredible.
I love erra so much
jesus christ, gored has a breakdown that puts most deathcore shit to shame
It feels like you are getting beaten down by thousands of Jack hammer
Proves that new music can still be good
I cannot believe how fresh this shit is, even though it sounds very nostalgic at the same time \m/
I came across this band on lsd just now... 451 Days is actually something else, thank you
I can't get over how good this album is. Only found it about a week ago, had it on repeat constantly. Insanely good!
Is it really you?...same chords as Back to School (mini maggit)? This album is ferocious
Its like a Pink Maggit that doesnt make me wanna kill my self when i listen ;)
Yup I hear it! I like how they use it but don't beat you over the head with it. Its feels like a nice homage whilst putting a unique twist on it and stripping it roght down to gently strummed acoustic was a stroke of genius...
Its so funny that chino literally admits that was their attempt to sellout and take direction from the label and it still bangs harder than any nu metal.of the time. They're incapable of being disengenuous...
@@karlpaquette6139(Edit, nevermind I thought you were replying to the comment above, not the original comment, my mistake) Pink Maggit was a genuine song on White Pony. The "Back to School" that uses same riffs and motives as Pink Maggit was their nu-metal single they didn't care about and did only because label wanted something "cool" and "edgy".
Loathe are like a fine wine...
Still remember the DAY I discovered this album. I heard it probably 5 times front to back. I went online and immediately ordered the album on vinyl. On that search, I noticed that they were playing in my city about 10 days later, so I immediately booked a ticket. To this day, that live performance at Omeara in London is one of my favorite live music experiences. The moshing , the release of energy, the performance, the vulnerability and aggression in equal measures. Can't wait to see them again and go absolutely crazy.
One of my favourite albums in 2020...it literally is an experience. love it
It's gonna be a historically innovative album when they look back in 2029 of albums of the decade.
Great band. I love the Stephan Carpenter style riffs and melodic heaviness. 🤙🏾
I think the most exceptional thing this band does is take it's similarities and influences, brings them into their songs, but not to the point where it feels like theyve ripped off anyone's sound.
They are the perfect For fans of ________ band.
I hear Deftones, Periphery, Dillinger Escape Plan, Norma Jean, and many others. Talk about genre bending.
I would like everyone in the comment section to forgive me for being a royal sack for not discovering this band sooner. This is fantastic!
Can I in the comment directly in response to yours recommend you the album Nirguna "Convergence"?
Listening on a recommendation from a TH-camr whose assessments of music I generally respect and often end up agreeing with. Yes, this is interesting and very tasty. Bewildering but in a good way. I like the compositional approach and execution. And I'm stopping there while my attempts to describe my reaction still make sense.
First time hearing these guys and I'm absolutely hooked. I keep hearing so many sounds and influences from the Deftones to almost a Silent Hill/Akira Yamaoka influence in the melodic tracks. "Screaming" sounds straight out of SH3's ost at times. Brilliant.
It's weird how you discover bands. I've never even heard of these guys until just recently. I dunno how I haven't heard anyone talking about them until now. They're actually pretty amazing. I was just scrolling through the sharptone videos because of currents and 156/silence. Definitely my favorite label for this kind of music! Thanks sharptone!
I am literally obsessed with this album. It's perfect from start to finish 🥰
New fan and as a metal head that’s been in and out, this feels so breathtaking and so damn refreshing
My best discovery of 2020 so far
OH MY GOD IVE NEVER EXPECT 4 SONG TRANSITIONS IN AN ALBUM
I honestly can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I haven't heard an album THIS good in a long time. Truly a modern masterpiece.
Face away
Deal with the pain
Your own way
How could they deal with the pain?
I knew
That it was mine too
And you?
Is it really you?
Let's search the sky for a while
You and I
Collide like two stars for a while
You and I
Crushed by silent snow
Not the first I know
Caught in ebb and flow
I'm bleeding out, oh you know
Is it really you?
Let's search the sky for a while
You and I
Collide like two stars for a while
You and I
Son de otro planeta. Definitivamente uno de los mejores álbumes que he escuchado en mi vida.
Ya somos dos brother, que tremendo es este discazo.
Criminally underrated band, criminally underrated album. As soon as I finished listening to this masterpiece I found out they're playing near my city this month. Instantly bought tickets.
This is hands down the 2020 album of the year in metal
Check out Krosis - A Memoir Of Free Will. These 2 albums were my top 2 of the year.
@@tamatiw883 will do thanks for the suggestion
Has to be one of the best of the last decade too.
I'm seeing this band live at the download festival pilot in just over a week and never realised how good they were! Fuck!
Two-Way Mirror is by far my favorite, been listening to that track alone for weeks now
Same. Is It Really You and A Sad Cartoon are fucking amazing
What a great way to end 2020 by discovering this gem of an album.
love the vocals, the low screams have this kind of dryness to em that just makes them sound so good
The day they launched this album, (i didn't listen to the singles)
I was preparing myself, since i listened "Theme" i was thinking, "im about to listen the best album in my entire life". And that's it, the best album in the 20"
the heavy parts remind me of Perfect War Forever by Glass Cloud, awesome stuff
Is it really one of the best albums ever? ❤
Edit: i wanted to sleep tonight 😢
Glad i found these guys. Not a big fan of their older albums but this one is amazing. Two way mirror, screaming, and new faces in the dark... chills
I started watching The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Official Pre-Launch Trailer and at the same time this album auto-played in the background. I think I just found a new "Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz" combination, it worked perfectly.
This feels like a heavenly mixture of shoegaze and metal and a bit of ambience and also Deftones flavoured. Masterpiece!
This album turns two years today.
Four years
This is metal album of the year
Take a step back
Knowing all that's real
Breathe out
Alone again
Drowning in the noise
The slow learner
Distance in fire that surrounds us
There are pyres all around you
Can you see?
Do you see them?
Distance
Leaving
Like the first time I did
Screaming
Like the first time
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time
Take a step back
Letting go the fear
Tonight I am alone again
All I hear is noise
Deafening
Hopelessly
I have no voice
But I'm screaming
Living in tragedy
And now nothing is how it once seemed
Distance
Leaving
Like the first time I did
Screaming
Like the first time
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time
I will write to you
Through the stars and the clouds
With threads in the air
Trade your dreams with mine
Distance
Leaving
Like the first time I did
Screaming
Doesn't always have to be so black and white
Pull the wool over my eyes one last time
One last time
One last time
In bloom, you sing
Such beautiful colours
What a shame
In this world, that beauty alerts the others
Fray from the light
'Till you see it
I'm gone
"Stare into my eyes
I'll show you who I am inside
It's simple I'm certain from behind the curtain
It's in your hands this time"
Colours are swirling
Now that we're falling
What are the odds?
Now that we're falling
Colours are swirling
Why were you lost?
Inside a room of red
Through the window
Just know you found me
So now you know
"Stare into my eyes
I'll show you who I am inside
It's simple I'm certain from behind the curtain
It's in your hands this time"
And still, it wasn't enough to make you say
"What would you do if you weren't afraid?"
Getting mad Acacia Strain Wormwood era vibes from Broken Vision Rhythm, sick song and the whole album is a great listen throughout, especially the follow up song. Two-Way mirror definitely fleshes out that Deftones gap, also that intro to A Sad Cartoon is mad Minerva vibes, great stuff guys. Please keep releasing music🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I always wondered what it would sound like to mix a metally sound with a bit of a shoegaze style and then I found Loathe.
Check out Alcest for a combination of similar genres. It's a French band that pioneered the blackgaze genre. Their album souvenirs d'un autre mond is waaay more tame than this album but well worth a listen.
Damn, what a good album! So many influences woven together seamlessly! Great, great work guys
Best way to start any year.
I literally just listened to snippets of the songs and this is already a banger🙌🙌🙌🙌
this is my favorite album ever it just makes me want to cry
best album of all time.
I discovered them shortly before a day trip to another city. Man, these train rides got so much more enjoyable due to this album
Been years since I’ve had a favorite band. 💕
For so long, I've moaned and complained about how so many metalcore bands shoehorn in different styles (like clean choruses, interludes, etc) because "that's what they're supposed to do" - aka their label told them they had to. I hate that. Make it work or don't put it in at all. There is nothing worse than a fast paced metalcore song being interrupted by some poppy generic clean section with a basic 8-5-0-3 chord progression.
With that being said, this fucking album, is like 10 different genres, all executed perfectly, in a way I have never before witnessed. It's so organic despite every style seeming like they should clash with one another. Post-rock, shoegaze, psychedelic rock, grunge, nu-metal, metalcore, deathcore, hell even how they chromaticize some of their heavy sections is EXTREMELY reminiscent of how blues and jazz musicians organize their progressions.
I have never seen a band of any genre show such ability to not only switch styles on the fly, but to do so in a way that is so well done, and so powerfully executed, that every time the style changes leading into another section, it does so in a way that literally PULLS you out of the section that was just playing and engulfs you into what seems like an entire new song, almost as if you changed playlists. And they somehow do this while still keeping every section and song within context. Absolute insanity. One in a million.
Modern. Metal. Masterpiece.
The album has summarized how I've been feeling as of late: a complete, mental and emotional mess
Same. been on repeat for months
This is heavily inspired by Deftones and the Contortionist. Good stuff!
listening to this album is the best choice i've made so far in 2022
Loathe is exactly what chiodos was aiming to be and never truly hit the mark on, sounds just like what I imagine was going thru the noggin of whoever wrote the chiodos material that they struggled to make tangible
Daaaamn this is crazy, some of these sounds are unreal! Very zesty
This is like "Everything At The End Of Time" for Deftones fans. Can't wait to see what they put out next! \m/
Seen these guys last night. They opened for 3 days grace and chevelle yea I think they’re on to something. Damn it was it a kickass show.
This album is just prefect so well composed. All I've been listening to since it came out and has brought out the creativity in me. Thanks loathe !! ❤
I found it, the heaviest band out there with 6 strings that I have heard and one of the few who have baritone guitars in their music. I like how at times this band reminds me of the Deftones while still remaining their own. I think they should go on tour with the Deftones.
Goddamn, this album is incredible.
This album played next after something else and I was gonna change it but got distracted. What an unexpected surprise, this was exactly how I was feeling. Great album.
