After a violent altercation led to the ejection of their vocalist Duncan Bentley, Vulvodynia have announced Lwandile Prusent as their new vocalist. He previously held the guitar duties in the outfit. In other news, the band have already begun recording sessions for their next studio album.
A statement from the South African deathcore group on the lineup shift can be found below, along with this video of Prusent in action.
“We’re extremely excited to finally announce our new vocalist, Lwandile Prusent! Lwandile joined Vulvodynia as a guitarist, but has now made the jump to vocals and we couldn’t be more stoked!
Check out this video of him showing off his skills, as well as a sneak peek at some new music. We all hope you’re just as excited as us for the future of Vulvodynia! Vocal recording has begun for our new album, and it’s sounding incredible! 🔥
Here’s a short quote from Lwandile: “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 ❤”
The band made headlines this past May when Bentley left drummer Thomas Hughes hospitalized with a broken nose during a physical altercation on the road. Bentley himself later addressed the matter through this statement.
