Loathe are back on tour, delivering their against-the-grain, unforgettable experience. Loathe concerts are immersive, whether bathing the audience in smoke and bright lights or giving a voice to repressed rage with a Slipknotian horror mask. Loathe don't just provide music -- they take their audience through the catharsis of an exorcism in exquisite sound, image and detail.
Some fans and reviewers describe Loathe as metalcore, emphasizing their concept-heavy and dynamic style. Loathe songs often travel from ambient synth to heavy metal, from shoegaze to choruses to industrial soundscape. Kadeem France, lead vocalist, alternates from clean melodies to screams.
While others may classify Loathe as metalcore or metal, though, the band doesn't see themselves that way -- at least not exclusively. For instance, in 2021, they released The Things They Believe, an electronic album without vocals, guitar or drums -- the core elements of metal.
The touring band members in Loathe are lead vocalist Kadeem France, guitarist and second vocalist Erik Bickerstaffe, drummer Sean Radcliffe, and bassist Feisal El-Khazragi. Each member contributes to the songwriting in a collaborative process. Band members also have fluid roles when performing, sometimes switching instruments or pitching in with alternative soundtracks.
