ALBUM REVIEW: THE ALLFATHER AWAKENS BY AMON AMARTH

Cecilia checked out Amon Amarth’s latest album, The Allfather Awakens, a musical journey steeped in Norse mythology.

ALBUM REVIEW: DEVOURED BY PERVERSION BY SLAUGHTERCULT

Slaughtercult somehow made this queer feminist headbang with absolute feral joy to a song called ‘Menstrual Marinade’. Devoured By Perversion is loud, brutal, hectic and chaotic, backed by phenomenal musicianship and an unusual ability to make that brutality work to their musical advantage.
