Loathe with Fleshwater & Prostitute

Loathe is a Liverpool-based band whose recordings — including I Let It in and It Took Everything (2020) — have positioned them as one of the most genuinely inventive acts in contemporary heavy music. Their approach refuses easy genre placement: shoegaze textures, post-hardcore intensity, ambient passages, and metalcore extremity coexisting within single songs. It is the kind of music that earns its audience's investment by consistently refusing to be predictable.

Fleshwater is an American post-hardcore and slowcore act featuring members of Counterparts; Prostitute rounds out a bill at The Tabernacle on September 28 designed for listeners who follow heavy music at its most genre-resistant edge. September 28.
