Loathe reviewed on Times Of Malta – first impressions for Lambs To The Slaughter roll in!

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you might have realised that we have launched a brand new EP called Lambs To The Slaughter and we’ve been manically promoting it here, there and fucking everywhere!

We’ve been on the radio twice, both courtesy of our main man Noel Mifsud, who ever so generously had us on both his programmes, and now the first impressions for Lambs To The Slaughter are rolling in!

First off the bat is Michael Bugeja, musical correspondent for the Times Of Malta and a man with music in his blood. The man has been listening, DJing and reviewing for years and he’s always been great to us, and this time is no exception!

According to Michael’s Times Of Malta review of Lambs To The Slaughter, which you can read here, the new Loathe EP is “brimming with guttural vocals and pummelling riffage that truly lives up to the band’s self-proclaimed Crushing Metal Music tag”.

Loathe’s new EP ‘Lambs To The Slaughter’ – OUT NOW

So that’s it folks, after months of hard work, writing, rewriting,learning, practicing, demoing, recording, re-recording, tracking, double tracking, quad tracking (there’s a joke in there for fellow recording geeks), editing, mastering and even a bit of gigging thrown into the mix for good measure, it is our extreme pleasure to present to you our latest, brand new EP by name of Lambs To The Slaughter.

Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered the Lambs To The Slaughter EP and everyone who emailed us or sent a message on Facebook telling us that they’re looking forward to the EP or even that they’ve already heard it and loved it. We appreciate it all very much! Thanks also to anyone who bought the EP on the day of the launch and everyone else who’s buying it now!

You can listen to the EP below and you can buy it on Bandcamp, just by clicking through below. It’s only €6, so it costs less than a coffee a day for a week would. Please do consider buying it; independent bands have it hard already, independent metal bands in Malta more so.

We would also like to thank anyone who’s been helpful or instrumental in any way in the making of this album including our producer David Vella at Temple Studios, fellow producer and all round studio guy Cedric Vella, Cedric Vella once again for the awesome video he directed for our single ‘Bucketlove’, Cedric’s crew, Clint Tabone for helping us out with artwork for Lambs To The Slaughter and our ever patient wives and girlfriends.

If you own a magazine, website, extreme music zine, label or what have you and would like  a digital copy of the EP for review, evaluation or whatever, please get in touch on our Contact Page and we’ll accomodate you. Cheers!
