Vulvodynia announce new album ‘Entabeni’
VULVODYNIA have announced a new album!
Titled Entabeni, the upcoming album from the South African death metal band is the follow-up to 2021’s Praenuntius Infiniti, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Unique Leader Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “Entabani is a very important album for us, it sees us at crossroads in our career. We’ve fully embraced the idea of writing as a collective, exploring every member’s ideas, experiences and formed them all together to create what we think is our most ambitious album yet. We wanted to explore the concept of African folklore on this album and based a lot of the songs off of old stories found in poems, books and even through word of mouth from our vocalist Lwandile‘s older family members.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Entabeni. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “the word Entabeni means ‘The Mountain’ in the African language Isizulu. It explores the concept of initiation in the different tribes and cultures that practice it. We want this first single to really make a statement and believe this is the most confident we’ve ever sounded! We hope our fans can accept and embrace the changes we’ve undergone.”
