Hawxx, a London-based punk band fronted by Annouli Papadimitriou, are the subject of a profile detailing the extreme personal experiences behind their music, including reported involvement with Christian cults and accusations of terrorism, one of which saw Papadimitriou labelled "the woman that was sent by Satan to destroy them." The piece, published by Louder, explores how these ordeals have shaped the band's second album, framed as an act of liberation through music after years of hardship.

For eight years, Hawxx have channelled anger into punk-infused protest anthems built around a heavy dual-guitar sound, Greek vocal harmonies and intense screamed vocals. The interview takes place aboard Papadimitriou's London narrowboat, previously used by former occupants for parties, as she and her bandmates discuss the forthcoming second album, titled "The World Splits Open," and the traumatic backstory feeding into its creation.
