Contemporary metallic hardcore unit Ithaca have issued their swan song with the final single of their celebrated career. The self-titled track offers a powerful punctuation for the band, emphasizing who they are, what they have done and how they are leaving a legacy that asserts they did things without compromise.
The band spoke to the summation of the final track of their careers, "'Ithaca' means home, the place you return to when the journey is complete. In this final song, we put this band to rest. Every memory, every tear, every laugh is in here. Thank you for everything. Om namo naryanaya."
From the band's hailed 2019 debut, The Language of Injury to the band's leveling up in 2022 with They Fear Us, the UK standouts asserted their position as powerful voices and essential contributors in the space of contemporary heavy music. A potent mesh of 90's metalcore, infused with accents of industrial, pop and prog, Ithaca earned a rep for bridging potential and ambition with each release.
The band's diverse make-up and broad range of influences resonated with a vast pool of fans from every niche. Landing with metallic hardcore snobs, post-punk purists and the experimental, extreme metal crowd, Ithaca's non-conformist approach and allegiance to artistry separated them from the pack.
The arrival of the band's final single precedes their final ever performance set for ArcTanGent Festival this August. The band will bid farewell with a set that compiles essentials from their impactful catalog while going out on their own terms.
