A lot has changed in the six years since Liverpool based alternative quartet Loathe released their seismic sophomore album I Let It In And It Took Everything. An album that not only changed the course of their careers but changed the course of heavy music at large, its success has seen the band sell out tours globally both in arenas as support for legendary legacy acts and as demand-stealing headliners in their own right, alongside priority placements on festival stages worldwide. Six years later, Loathe are ready to upend the conventions of contemporary metal once again with their long awaited third album, A Stranger To You.
Due for release on July 17 2026, the album takes the formula that the band helped to build for modern alternative music and reshapes it; crafting a brand new world that integrates disparate global influences to confound listeners and sharpen the senses. Easily the band’s most sonically adventurous work to date, each moment has been designed to ensure that the six year space between releases has been more than worth the wait.
Following on from last year’s epic single Gifted Every Strength, Loathe today unveil the second taste of A Stranger To You in the form of new single and video, Revenant. Already a live favourite that has caused devastation across multiple continents, Revenant opens to glistening waves of synth, before descending into a low-slung, rhythmic display of power. Check it out below.
