Unloved is the second studio album by Scottish band Frontierer. On 27 July 2018, it was released independently through the group's Bandcamp account.[2] The album drew critical attention for its harshness and unrelenting tone.[3][4][5]Unloved was preceded by the digital singles titled, "Tumoric" and "Glitcher" in May and June respectively.[6][7][8]
Joe Smith-Engelhardt of Exclaim! praised Unloved's aggression and "masterfully" executed breakdowns, writing, "If you're a fan of brutal beatdown riffs and demented experimental metal with a hardcore touch, Unloved is a necessary listen".[3]Rolling Stone's Christopher R. Weingarten also lauded the album's unrelenting harshness, describing it positively as "a hailstorm where time-signature confusion meets shrill noise-rock affects".[4]Metal Storm wrote that the aggression of the album was admirable, but criticized the running time for being too long and ultimately, unsustainable.[9] Daniel Cordova of Metal Injection wrote, "This album is nothing but breakdowns and chaos. It features some of the most fascinating and abrasive sounds I've heard on a record in a long, long time. The sounds on this hurt my brain almost as much as the band's name hurts my mouth to say."[11]
