For decades, death metal bands have focused on the classic horror-movie theme of cutting up girls as the sole subject matter of their shock value-driven albums. They know that it was fucked up.
For Devourment, the shift had to be a little more pointed. Part of changing this perception was moving away from referring to genders almost entirely on their new LP , Obscene Majesty. Devourment have been a band since and, as such, have watch death metal change over multiple decades. The members who spoke to Kerrang! Chris Andrews admits his first reaction was outrage, but once those emotions subsided, he became more reflective on what led the band to be included on such a blacklist.
Why are you doing that? But their newest release, Mob Justice, focuses on life in their home continent of Africa, with album-closer Cultural Misogyny examining the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation, while also confronting the misogyny learned through society. Fantasy has often provided an escape for death metal, but that has in turn become a loophole for leaning heavily on misogynistic views.

What once felt like a novelty at best actually leads to some striking moments. And a new self can get in, but the old selves can't ever get out.

McFly's Tom Fletcher has explained how he didn't realise that he was suffering with mental illness until he started talking to other people around him. The singer, author and YouTuber has opened up about his eating disorder, but said his diagnosis with depression came when he checked into rehab. I'd lost my enthusiasm for everything," he said about that time in his life. The truth is, I'd have done almost anything to rid myself of the depressions. The singer explained how medication helped him overcome his difficulties.
