amazing black metal holy fuck dude :0 *Teethed Glory and Injury* is my favourite album by them.
If you like this listen to Loss of Self, released one album in 2013 which is incredible.
On our last stop, I really love Divide and Dissolve, heavy, *heavy* instrumental band - bad ASS.

this album is genuinely fantastic!
i would describe it as a screamy alternative rock album, definitely with influences from hardcore, emo, and indie rock. that being said, i think that it is still suuuuper palatable for people who don't tend to listen to music that's as hard as what i listen to π
i went to the album release show back in march on the night of its release and the show was MAGICAL! i also saw Zeta open for them and they are also actually so goated. genuinely one of the best shows i've been to in a very long time :P
ps- the rest of their discography is also insane plsss give them a listen

tl;dr - This is really fun slam-core album. If you like deathcore, I think you will really like this album. (Check out the song Adamaster if you only wanna listen to one song from this album). If you like slam, check out the song Adamaster, I think you'll have a great time!
So I saw today that Vulvodynia is supposed to play in Sydney next week, so I was thinking it might be fun to see them. I decided I would give their most recent album, Entabeni (which I somehow missed over the summer?) a listen to get a feel for their new sound.
I have been a long-time fan of Vulvodynia and was a bit apprehensive about the direction of the band following the (justified) dismissal of their frontman for his shitty behavior. I was a bit worried about how the sound would change, especially after not being particularly wowed by Eulogy of Ashes when it released as a single. Thus, I went into this album curious about what would be different.
And...I was blown away.
Despite being used to the original frontman, new vocalist Luwandile Prusent was awesome with the energy he brought to the vocals on this album. Vulvodynia has a long history of combining a lot of different vocal styles, from much higher pitched screeching to very low, guttural slam vocals and Prusent absolutely nails it! I will say that I could imagine someone who was looking for more "slam" in their slamcore might be somewhat disappointed, but honestly I felt they were able to integrate slam into the songs very effectively, if not as frequently as in their earlier works.
The features are also pretty great! Some of the best artists in the scene including PeelingFlesh (I love these guys), Bodysnatcher, and Signs of the Swarm come in to deliver some awesome features on tracks.
Overall, I absolutely loved this album and bought tickets for the show in Sydney next week. I'm super excited to see them live and love the direction they are headed! Please check this out if you're looking for some new heavy stuff, you won't regret it.

i read this book right after leaving an abusive relationship, trying to figure out what love was for me and how i could see it in my recently shook up world.
bell hooks writes in a simple, honest language. itβs a beautiful, accessible book that humbled me and taught me how to love people and where find the love i desired.
