The evocative title immediately conjures something visceral. The title track opens with the line, 'I thought I'd gotten over it, but it consumes like I was born for it,' sung over a brooding beat. "I guess it's the idea of being completely swallowed up by something or overwhelmed by something. Something very intense," says Amy.

When it came to creating the follow-up to 'Congregation', the band - also consisting of bassist Alex Thompson, guitarist Alisha Yarwood, and drummer Annabelle Joyce - knew they needed to build on that sense of intensity, creating something bigger, darker, and stranger.

This switch-up of sound is most apparent in single 'THE GARDEN', a gorgeously dark track that swells and crashes, foreboding and sensual all at once, while Amy's lyrics subvert the Garden of Eden myth to take back the narrative into a place of female control. When writing, Amy took a more organic approach, opting to let lyrics come naturally rather than writing them all in one go.

This more relaxed approach to writing perhaps reflects, or is a product of, Amy's decision to take a step back from the raw, in-your-face way 'Congregation' dealt with her upbringing and its impact.

"With 'Congregation' it felt like I was writing from a place where it was almost happening right now - it was very raw and blunt," Amy explains. "With 'FEVEREATEN', I've leaned a little more into fiction, blurring the lines between what my experiences were, then twisting them to make them feel more surreal and weird and uncanny.

Despite the darkness, the band insist that there is joy in this record. Amy jokingly refers to "their favourite word, catharsis", to which Annabelle makes a fake gagging sound, but goes on to explain that the joy lies in writing the record and performing the tracks, going on stage "wearing very little clothing" and laying everything out to everyone. Rage, after all, can be a very positive force. Just one listen to album opener 'DEAD TO ME' - which rumbles ominously before exploding into a ferocious chorus - and you can imagine the release Amy must feel, howling "dead to me" over and over on stage.

"I'm not sat writing these tracks crying. I'm not playing them on stage miserable. On stage, I'm so happy and loving life! I'm using rage as a tool to speak about my past, to speak about the things in the world that are really fucked up. I need to hold on to that anger.

She pauses. "Well… not chill. I'm quite uptight. But not uptight in an angry way; I'm just anxious," she laughs.

When it comes to embracing darkness, one of the things Witch Fever have always leaned into is their spooky side - their name, after all, references the horrific witch trials, where accusations of witchcraft were murderously weaponised. Amy is a huge horror fan and studied gothic fiction for her Master's degree. The album cover itself features a shrouded figure who's popped up across all the music videos so far - each one a mini horror short.

At one point in the video for 'DEAD TO ME', a mound of crawling maggots fills Amy's mouth, spewing out onto the ground. Surely that was just a special effect? "No!" recalls Annabelle with horror. "That was so grim! I was the one filming it, and I was dry-heaving!"

With spooky season in full swing, conversation naturally turns to the paranormal. "We had a bit of a scare when we did the 'DEAD TO ME' video, actually," remembers Annabelle. "Amy was on a table, writhing around, doing her possessed thing. We were in this room next door - it was like a sex dungeon! There was this weird skewer with parts of a doll on it, and when we were looking at it, the lights just went out. It freaked us out. That was in a place called Antwerp Mansion in Manchester, this Victorian building that was once an illegal rave spot. It was awful."
