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

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.

We put our hearts and souls into this album and even though start to finish it only took us eight months, it's feels like it's 15 years in the making.”
