Loits

Loits is an Estonian metal band that’s been carving its name into the underground scene since forming in 1998. Blending raw black metal with folk-inspired melodies and a hefty dose of national pride, their music often delves into themes of Estonian history, folklore, and identity. Known for their intense live shows and unapologetic aesthetic, they’ve become cult favorites, particularly in the Baltic metal circuit. Albums like *Vere kutse kohustab* (2004) and *Must album* (2005) solidified their signature sound—frostbitten riffs meet anthemic choruses, all wrapped in a cloak of rebellion.

Recent releases like *Furor Aesticus: Prelude to the Vere Kutse Kohustab* and *Kiri kaevikust (Kauge laane versioon)* show the band hasn’t lost its fire, still merging harsh aggression with haunting atmosphere. Tracks like *Ei kahetse midagi* and *Tõelised kuningad* highlight their knack for storytelling, whether mythic or militant. While they’ve stayed largely underground, Loits remains a defiant voice in metal, proudly waving the flag for Estonia’s cultural heritage—one blistering riff at a time.
