Thursday, August 29th, 2024 – South African slamming deathcore giants Vulvodynia have unleashed the official music video for their hard-hitting track “The Randlord,” taken from their latest album ‘Entabeni,’ released earlier this summer via Unique Leader Records. Watch the official video HERE or by clicking the thumbnail below. “The Randlord” is a sonic onslaught that showcases Vulvodynia’s brutal yet technically excellent approach to extreme metal. The track dives into the darker aspects of South Africa’s history, with a title that references the magnates who exploited the country’s gold and diamond resources in the late 19th century. The accompanying video is as intense as the track itself, featuring live footage from various stops on the band’s recent US run with Fallujah, using the the pure, unadulterated ferocity of the Vulvodynia live experience to backdrop the theme of the track. Vulvodynia vocalist Lwandile Prusent comments on the release: “The Randlord is written from the perspective of a wealthy, glutinous, maniacal, narcissist who has discovered that mass monetary gain directly coincides with absolute positions of power. The concept is based on the European financiers and capitalists who took control of the diamond and gold mining industries in South Africa from the late 1800s. We wanted the vibe of this track to have a certain braggadocious swagger whilst simultaneous showcasing the brainwashed perspective of the citizens that have turned into devoted followers of The Rand Lord. During our most recent North American tour with Fallujah we filmed all the footage of this video in various venues to multiple amazing crowds. After the release of this video we are set to hit the road once again this September and bring our live show to Australia and New Zealand.” |
