Vulvodynia Announce New Album Entabeni, First Single Coming Thursday
Empowered by a new (seemingly non-violent) vocalist, South African deathcore band Vulvodynia is back to announce that they’ve got a new album coming out on July 5 via Unique Leader Records titled Entabeni. The first single from the album will be out this Thursday, May 9.
Speaking of the record, the band said they were stoked to get new music out ahead of the album’s release.
“We’re extremely excited to announce our sixth studio album, Entabeni, via Unique Leader Records. The full album will be out on the 5th of July, 2024, with the first single out in four days on the 9th of May!”
Featuring 10 new songs from the band, it’s their first new release since 2021’s Praenuntius Infiniti. The album will apparently include special guest spots from Signs Of The Swarm‘s David Simonich, Bodysnatcher‘s Kyle Medina, and PeelingFlesh‘s Damonteal Harris. The record was mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson.
This will also be the first album for the band to feature guitarist Lwandile Prusent on vocals. He’s now handling things behind the mic after their former vocalist Duncan Bently allegedly attacked their drummer.
Following the apparent scuffle, Bently was let go from the band. He has since claimed that he was sorry for the altercation.
“I owe the band, our crew, and Tom an apology. An apology seems so small in the face of what happened, but I need to offer it. I’m so sorry for what happened in Prague. We’ve shared so many stages, so many good times, and I never wanted our story to end on a night like that. I regret that our disagreement turned physical, and I take full responsibility for my part in it…
“To clear up any misconceptions, I want everyone to know that I’ve been sober since March 30. I never ‘tried to kill’ Tom like all the headlines are saying…”
At the time, when Pruscent took over on vocals, he said:
“Hey everyone, so I’ve become the new vocalist of Vulvo, and it’s been a challenging transition, but I don’t plan on letting the people who support us down. I am still the guitar player of this band, and always will be. It just might take a while before you see me with one on stage again. Peace and love.”
