Ithaca (band)

Ithaca are a British metalcore band that emerged from the London hardcore scene in 2012, known for their emotionally charged and intense musical style. Using both clean and screamed vocals, their lyrics deal with topics such as anger, revenge, self-loathing, and self-healing.

Ithaca released their debut album, The Language Of Injury, in 2019. It garnered positive reviews and established the band's presence alongside contemporaries such as Employed to Serve, Svalbard, and Rolo Tomassi.

Their second album, They Fear Us, was released in 2022 to critical acclaim. Kerrang! and Metal Hammer both placed it within their top three albums of the year, with the latter selecting it as the best metalcore album of 2022.

In addition to their music, Ithaca are known for their focus on social issues, emphasizing values such as community and diversity. The band advocates against racism and sexism, which has led to them becoming the target of online harassment and death threats.
