In this delightful episode of The Mixtape, we dive into the sonic world of Serena Cherry, guitarist and vocalist of UK post-metal powerhouse Svalbard. Serena opens up about the band’s emotionally raw new album The Weight of the Mask, exploring how vulnerability and rage coexist in her songwriting.
We talk life on the road—what it’s like being the only woman in a tour bus full of dudes—and how she balances heavy music with her passion for creating Pokémon fan art and we also discuss the possibility of the band's music in video game soundtracks.
And of course, Serena builds her ultimate mixtape, revealing the artists that fuel her creativity—from black metal to shoegaze and everything in between.
🎧 A must-listen for fans of Svalbard, fierce female voices in metal, and anyone curious about the crossover between brutal riffs and geek culture.
