Loathe

And here they are, some of the best pics from our big night! If you have pics of your own which you would like to submit to this space, contact us here. We will not steal your pictures, and you will always be credited for them, as well as have our unwavering appreciation!

We’d like to thank a few people for the great release gig for Despondent By Design that we had. Alex and Arthur from the Black Pearl were great to us. Tripwire were a real blast and played extremely well. However, our biggest thanks go to everyone who came and rocked out, especially the ones who bought the new CD. We also want to wish happy birthday to one of our biggest fans, Mila, who is now 19!

Here’s what some of you told us after the show:

“Great night yesterday at the Black Pearl, fantastic atmosphere, very good sound and two bands that kick ass…congrats to both bands..”

“Was a great gig, keep it up! =)”

“Rawr!”

“Fuckin’ awesome gig last night..once the hangover clears off I will really enjoy the CD!”

“Amazing night. I enjoyed it a lot . Well done!”

“Dude as much as we rule for coming and buying you guys fuckin rule for the awesome show you guys gave!”

We’ll be adding more and more very soon! Next step is practicing hard so we give a great show when we play with Trigger the Bloodshed!

It’s with great pleasure we announce that apart from il-Mument, Loathe has also been featured on Malta’s largest circulation newspaper, the Sunday Times, once more. Have a look at the scan of the article below:

We are also going to have another media surprise for you, but we’ll keep our mouths shut about that for now, and promise to let you all know what it is later…..

Between 2003 and 2007, some of you may remember a little thing called myspace. You know, before and in the run up to facebook. Myspace was cool, and for bands, to this day, is arguably the best social network to be on.

Loathe have been on myspace for around 5 years. Myspace redesigns have happened before, but nothing quite so major. Lo and behold, the new loathe myspace, complete with despondent by Design themed artwork, which was, of course, courtsey of our friends Cedric and Clint. If you’d like them for your band’s design, contact us. If you wanna bang your head before Friday is upon us, then go here: www.myspace.com/totaloathe

Innit beautiful?

We are (finally) going to release our debut full length album, Despondent By Design. We realise it has been a long time coming, but for the most part, what delayed us was completely out of our control.

Now we shall not dilly dally about all that could have been. We release Despondent By Design in summer, on the 23rd of July, a Friday, at one of the coolest places we will have ever played in! The Black Pearl, in Ta’Xbiex is a ship on land, and serves the triple purpose of being a great restaurant, a bar, and an awesome wooden host to our metal!
