Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to artists that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have a Q&A with L.O.C.
METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:
L.O.C.: We are groove metal titans, L.O.C. We hail from East Yorkshire in the UK. We are Adam Towse (Vocals, Guitar), Will Watson (Lead Guitar), Dave Worth (Bass, Backing Vocals) and Mark Cooper (Drums). L.O.C was formed in early 2025 by Adam and by November 2025 full line-up was complete and the beast that is L.O.C was unleashed on the world!
METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?
L.O.C.: We are influenced by a variety of artists ranging from Metallica and Black Sabbath through to Lamb Of God and Sepultura. We love anything heavy that has great riffs. I think we tend to radiate to a more old school style of metal. As a band though we just do our own thing, we just play and see what comes out. Its normally pretty heavy and pretty awesome.
METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?
L.O.C.: Our latest release is our single, “Dragging Me Down.” It’s a monumental sledgehammer of a track with everything you could want including a break neck heavy break down and some fast heavy aggression. If you like it riff laden and drop tuned you’ll love this one!
METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?
L.O.C.: Energy and excitement. The live show is where we really shine as we love performing. We don’t mess around. You will get some ball to the wall, no bullshit, heavy metal performed by people who love what they do. What more could you want?
METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?
L.O.C.: We have a huge belief in L.O.C and we plan to take it all the way. In 5 years L.O.C will be a household name on the metal scene. We look forward to being on those big stages like Bloodstock and Download and if you don’t know who L.O.C are already, you soon will!
