Loathe are what happens when a band is equally influenced by Deftones, Meshuggah, early 2010s metalcore, and a heavenly shoegaze group like Lush. Metalcore and melodic rock music have been intertwined for well over a decade, but most metalcore bands have a much better grasp on breakdowns than saccharine hooks, which has led to some supremely awkward pop-metal hybrids over the years. They're one of the rare bands in the genre who could actually make a legitimate pivot to post-metal-influenced shoegaze if they wanted to, but on their sophomore album I Let It In and It Took Everything, they'd rather swing between transcendent rock and eviscerating djent-core, fusing the two in a way that will surely spawn legions of impersonators over the next couple years.

At their heaviest, Loathe are positively decimating. Opener "Aggressive Evolution" (a nice mission statement for their project) begins with groovy, downtuned chugs that recall the nu-metal-influenced deathcore of Emmure, but its final moments feature glass-shattering noise that are far more violent and intense than any veteran from the Warped Tour circuit. The end of "New Faces In The Dark" is somehow even crazier, melding the chaotic craftsmanship of Meshuggah with the might of metallic hardcore auteurs Code Orange. But Loathe's calling card is that their prettiest moments are as divine as their heaviest.

The album's best song is the skyscraping "Two-Way Mirror," which sounds like if Deftones' Chino Moreno fronted Slowdive. Maybe it's something in their English DNA, but Loathe have a masterful grasp on the textures and instrumental moods of shoegaze music, and they aren't afraid to lean into them on here. Throughout the record, there are numerous ambient interludes that are genuinely gorgeous and instrumentally interesting—not the moody filler that metalcore bands have been stuffing their breakdown fests with since the mid-2000s. One of the best examples is the beginning of "Is It Really You?," which starts with a gorgeous sustained note that rings through the walloping guitars like a stubborn campfire ember in a rainstorm. Small, supple details like that aren't typically the most memorable moments on metal albums, but I Let It In and It Took Everything underscores that Loathe are anything but a typical metal band. © Eli Enis/Qobuz
