Hailing from Germany, the trio create bilious, fuzz n' feedback drenched sludge riddled with nods to the members' hardcore-punk roots. Their previous 2 releases, both on Per Koro Records, were well received and coupled with regular shows around Europe, helped cement their reputation as one of the finest horrible, snarling, hate-filled bands around. "loathe" follows on perfectly from their debut LP. There's a little less doom in their sound this time around, with a welcome dose of hardcore-infused speed and tempo on a couple of songs, but the 7 tracks are still unmistakably NIGHTSLUG: crushing riffs, pissed-off vocals and sheer hatred, making for one of the heaviest, filthiest records of the year.
