The upcoming album "A Stranger to You" by Liverpool band Loathe, set for release on July 17, 2026, showcases a significant sonic evolution blending metalcore with haunting shoegaze elements, psychedelic layers, and intricate percussion patterns. Produced by guitarist Erik Bickerstaffe, the record features collaborations with artists like Jordan Rakei and Code Orange members, offering a fully immersive musical journey that invites global influences.
Loathe, a metal band from Liverpool, UK, is set to release their new album 'I Let It In And It Took Everything' on February 07 via SharpTone Records. The singles "Two-Way Mirror", "New Faces In the Dark", and "Aggressive Evolution" preview a blend of heavy metal-core with atmospheric elements and cleaner vocals, reminiscent of Deftones.
Liverpool's Loathe have shared "Fangs," the latest preview of their long-awaited new album A Stranger To You, out July 17 via SharpTone Records. It's the third look at the record after 2025's "Gifted Every Strength" and April's "Revenant," and it sits at track 11 on the fourteen-song sequence.
A Stranger To You is the band's first full-length in six years, following 2020's I Let It In And It Took Everything — the record that pulled atmospheric, genre-agnostic heavy music toward the mainstream. Produced and engineered by the band with Erik Bickerstaffe, plus additional mixing from Ed Al-Shakarchi, the album is built to be played front to back, with guest turns from Jordan Rakei, Mansur Brown, members of Static Dress, bucki sugar, and NOWHERE2RUN.
