FAITHXTRACTOR - Loathing and the Noose CD

Nearing two years since releasing their last album, Contempt for a Failed Dimension, in Jan of 2023, FAITHXTRACTOR are back once again with an even stronger and more expansive effort entitled Loathing & the Noose. Underground Metal luminary, Ash Thomas, whose discography reads like an extreme metal encyclopedia (Shed the Skin, Acheron, Estuary and Thorns of the Carrion, to name a few), never seems to run short on inspiration or ideas.

From bludgeoning speed to the suffocating weight of expansive doom passages, this album showcases a band that will never stop developing its craft and have proven so on each and every release. Wielding 8 tunes of death & misery, Loathing and the Noose stabs & chokes the listener through its duration. When questioned about the album, mastermind Ash Thomas describes the album as "malice riddled grief". He continues, "From the music to the lyrics it’s a maelstrom of rage & melancholy exploring the many facets of this waking depression called life."
