“This is Malta’s Loathe, a hardworking band - they’ve battled through the changing times and have found a comfortable seat, right between Bloodbath and Carcass.” [Terrorizer Magazine]

“To be fair to Loathe, they are better than so many of the new bands I have heard recently.” [www.rock-city.co.uk]

“.......With this release Loathe should be brought to the attentions of labels rapidly, mostly owing to the material and the brutality of the mix that leaves no question as to the power of the songs.......” [www.metal-observer.com]

lyrics

As Cold As They come

I could never dream your damage would become part of me one day
Sunk so deep within me that I dread it will always stay
Did you ever ask yourself what would become to this scapegoat when you leave?
Sealing my grave with your own debris just so you could be set free

Pre-chorus

What good would it do just to tell you?
It's been killing me for these years
So here's my holy confession
Just so you know...

Chorus 1

One last time for the sweetest memory
What else is it going to take to set this dead soul free?

Every man's dread you made reality my cross to bear for life
Tolerating your world so full of shit just to blow up in my face

Pre-chorus

The endless praising you needed
The mockery you gave in return
Incapable of appreciation
Your curse I feel it burn...

Chorus 2

One last time for the sweetest memory
What else is it going to take to set this dead soul free?
Did you ever just stop to wonder how I stuck with you through all them years?
You were once all in my life...now my darkest fear

Bridge

Years of lies and woeful cries are embedded in my brain
I can't wipe clean the memory of your sick contagious pain
This boy you left so broken you abused and threw away
But will those who are truly responsible ever get to pay?

It`ll be the coldest day in hell when you find peace my dear
Just pray to remain dormant its best for you that things ain't clear
Cos if you ever awake your slumber
Shake out of it somehow
Screams in vain will fill your days
Your God wonít save you now

Repeat 2nd Chorus
