⇩LOAD is an alias of Emma Essex under the Halley Labs label. They are a hellbat that produces compilations of noise music. They were originally separate from LapFox Trax and their releases were on a separate Bandcamp page, which is no longer available. ⇩LOAD's name was taken from the duology of PC Engine and CD games and a shmup of the name. Their design from 2013 was made as a way to personify and sexualize Emma's own fears to lessen their effect on her.
