South Africa’s slamming Deathcore force Vulvodynia have announced new vocalist Zion Bittenbender, with former lead voice Lwandile Prusent transitioning to guitars to form a six‑piece with Luke Haarhoff, Kris Xenopoulos, Thomas Hughes and Nate Gilbert. The band say the new material is their most devastating yet, with a new record set for 2026.
“We’re very excited to announce Zion Bittenbender as our new vocalist,” Luke Haarhoff says. “We’ve been working with him behind the scenes for a while now, and the new material is sounding like the best music we’ve created to date. We can’t wait for all of you to hear the new era of Vulvodynia.”
