The bottom line is that there are some potentially cracking songs here that could — and perhaps should — neatly blur the line between classic ’80s glam metal and the denim clad New Wave of British Heavy Metal, were it not for the rather ordinary production and distinct lack of grit across the board.

and Fabz McBlackscul (guitars) came up with the idea of forming the band in 2020 and starting a new musical adventure. Everything that happened then was out of love for music and pure boredom – and the two were really very bored, so they create an

LOATHER – Eis 2023
very happy to share with you today “Eis”, the debut full-length record by Vienna, Austria -based atmospheric metallers LOATHER, which will be coming out on June 23rd via Vendetta Records!
After releasing a demo, two EP‘s (the last one being 2019s “Haganvelt”), the band’s first proper full-length album displays LOATHER’s growth in many ways. LOATHER has been continuously blurring the lines of European underground metal since 2016 and the bands ongoing creative evolution has finally been crystallized in their most developed body of work, coming out in 2023 on Vendetta Records.
As the name suggests, LOATHER’s “Eis” (German for “ice”) is a rather chilling affair.
