"There are some things AI can’t replace, and that is drinking two-litre bottles of cider and ****ing yourself in a field." We're going to miss Ithaca dearly, and this interview with Djamila Azzouz shows why

Djamila from IThaca.

After 13 years of squalling, raging metalcore, Ithaca will cease to be in 2025. But while it's a heavy blow to the UK metal scene, the fact they leave behind an immense legacy with two spectacular albums - 2019's The Language Of Injury and 2022's They Fear Us - and many fond memories of chaotic live shows - including the time they ended up in a hostage situation - they've left an immense impact on the UK metal scene.

To commemorate their passing - and celebrate their chaotic brilliance - Hammer caught up with vocalist Djamila Azzouz.
