**SOLD OUT**

(ONLY ticket holders will gain access to the show, no door tickets/walk-ins)


What could be more earth-shattering than watching the most brutal band in SA ripping it up at the JARR Bar on a Friday night? That's right, having them supported by the technical terror that is Human Nebula certainly puts the cherry on top. Space is VERY limited, so secure your ticket today! Early birds get them at R120, then R150 thereafter, and if there are ANY left, R180 at the door. Click on the ticket link NOW.


The show will kick off early as we still have a curfew in place (if the curfew drops before the performance date, we'll resume our regular programming)



BIOGRAPHY:


Looking in a medical textbook will tell you the following: Vulvodynia is a chronic, severe vaginal pain with no identifiable cause. While the severe part is dead-on, what a medical textbook won’t tell you is that Vulvodynia is also the pioneer in what is rapidly becoming South Africa’s most eviscerating export: Slamming Brutal Death Metal. With lobotomizing, lurid riffs, skin-shredding blast beats and slams gruesome and filthy enough to induce septic shock, Vulvodynia are a lethal plague, spreading throughout the flesh of today’s heavy music scene—infecting one set of ears at a time, and leaving no survivors. 


Spawned in 2014 by Vocalist Duncan Bentley and Guitarist Luke Haarhoff, Vulvodynia is a South African slam juggernaut designed with one purpose: to make the craziest, most absurdly heavy music possible, while attempting to define themselves as more than just “another slam band.” If their mission was over-the-top heaviness, then consider it accomplished—from their debut release, Lord of Plagues, Vulvodynia’s penchant for skull-splitting technicality and eviscerating heaviness has been obvious. Rapidly gaining popularity and recognition for their prodigal slam prowess, Lord of Plagues saw the band reach ears not just in their local scene, but around the world as well. As the band’s popularity grew, their sound matured, drawing more from a greater array of influences and improving their musicianship and dynamic in August 2014 the band signed a two-album contract with Australian Label ‘Vicious Instinct Records’ and added producer Byron Dunwoody in as second guitarist, in October of 2014, the band released their debut full-length album, Cognizant Castigation. Featuring Acrania’s Luke Griffin and Ingested’s Jason Evans (among many others).


If 2014 was the year the band finally grew into their potential, 2015 was the year they shattered their own mold, evolving into an even more aggressive and creative display of no-holds-barred heaviness. The band released a lengthy-but-lurid eight track EP titled Finis Omnium Ignoratium, completing their contact with Vicious Instinct Records. No longer satisfied with their status as a terrifying trio, the band sought to expand—searching South Africa for more like-minded musicians willing to bring forth brutality. Vulvodynia’s search was not in vain—as they added drummer Thomas Hughes (Fuzigish), Guitarist Kris Xenopoulos (Technopath) and Bassist Chris Van Der Walt (Boargazm). With a full-fledged line-up confirmed, the band made their first moves with a signing to the legendary Czech-based label Lacerated Enemy Records. After signing to LE Records the band released their third studio album ‘Psychosadistic Design’ along with their debut music video for the song ‘Flesh Tailor’, The band then embarked on their first EU Tour in 2017 and went abroad twice more for Deathfeast Open Air (DE) & Fall In The Brawl (UK). In 2018 The band embarked on another successful tour accross Europe with Despised Icon, Malevolence & Archspire. Nearly two years after the release of Psychosadistic design the band has delivered their latest album ‘Mob Justice’. As well as a trip to Obscene Extreme Festival (CZ) in 2018, another Headline Tour to Europe/UK in May 2018, another tour through Europe/UK with Fit For an Autopsy and Venom Prison in May 2019, a headlining tour to United States in July 2019, Brutal Assault and Party San Open Air Festivals in 2019, and a European/UK tour with Archspire in December 2019. 2020 will see us back in the US with Waking the Cadaver. — proof that there is no way to predict just how far or how fast Vulvodynia’s sinister infection will spread.
