This past September, Rochester, UK, heavyweights Allfather dropped their new full-length, And All Will Be Desolation, to widespread acclaim. Ever since the release of their first EP, No Gods. No Masters, three years back, the band's consistently turned heads with their aggressive, groove-laden sludge riffs. But Desolation ups the ante even by Allfather's own lofty standards, serving up some of their most ferocious, Pike-iest (that's definitely a word, do not question it) tunes to date.

Shortly after its release, vocalist Tom Ballard took some time to chat with our own Josh Stewart about the process behind the album, the influences on display throughout, and all manner of other things Desolation-related. We now present that conversation to you. Jump on in and take a listen!
