The tour support follows ITHACA‘s lauded debut LP The Language of Injury (February 2019, Holy Roar Records) and follows shows with Jamie Lenman, Anaal Nathrakh, Bleeding Through, and at Boomtown Fair and ArcTanGent festival.
The Language of Injury received support from Pitchfork, BBC R1, Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, Revolver, Decibel magazines and more, fast becoming the most exciting new band in UK heavy music in 2019.
Champions of diversity, equal representation, anti-fascism and anti-sexism, ITHACA are providing a vital new voice in hardcore, a voice heard globally following The Language of Injury‘s release, which decimated their sold-out album release show at London’s The Old Blue Last.
Order The Language of Injury: smarturl.it/ITHACA
Formed out of a mutual love of metallic hardcore but despair at its lack of ambition, ITHACA draw influence from everything from Southern doom to 90’s math rock, as well as the untethered savagery of early Poison The Well and melodious battery of Oathbreaker.
The result is crushing grooves and shrieking guitar squalls that give way to haunting melodic passages and desolate reprieves. The debut album is the band’s most ambitious and emotionally raw material to date, following from their 2015 Trespassers EP (COF Records/Soaked in Torment).
ITHACA have previously toured with Employed to Serve, Venom Prison, and Renounced.
