#Repost @mandisithepolymath Tomorrow, May 1st, The Dark Cow (aka @mandisithepolymath) will release his new EP. Check his bio for the link. It's also a good opportunity to keep up the spirit of helping artists during this time. @bandcamp will once again waiver their commission and artists will get 100%of all sales. Tomorrow only, so do the right thing! More details ⬇️⬇️⬇️ --- I'll be putting Displaced out on Friday May 1st. Here's a preview of track 1 Cletus Kasady Displaced is an ugly collage. Three short off-kilter songs written in the manic intensity of my early twenties. Slightly reworked and re-mixed, they retain much of the raw grit and anger of the time. A time when the inner self felt displaced, with nowhere to be home. The internal motif is then expanded to vent a South African history of forced removals. A history of displacement. The never ending violent upheaval of wealth, property and land. A score to banging your forehead against a wall in perpetual frustration. #thedarkcow #producer #drummer #displaced #metal #postmetal #posthardcore #noise #noisemusic #punk #alternativemusic #alternativemetal #southafricanmetal #carnage #cletuskasady #instrumental #orchestral #cinematic #horror

A while back, while in Cape Town, we went to see 'Matereality' at the Iziko National Gallery. It is an impressive exhibition. There are so many artists included from all over our continent. All of the pieces are impressive and the curation is superb: The placement of pieces, the use of colour, the short and informative texts accompanying each artist, make this large exhibition easy to manage. One of the common threads between the artworks is the way in which we interact with our environment. In one way or another, each of the artworks deals with our post/ubercapitalist society. All of the artists use recycled materials. From bra straps to bottle tops, to old weapons. From the curatorial text: 'in times of mass production and consumption, mixed media artists are the ultimate recyclers, living in a world of endless supplies and possibilities. Here a few we enjoyed 🙂 1. @goncalomabunda (b. 1975, Mozambique) Untitled Throne, metal & recycled weapons, 2016 2. Fabrice Montero (b. 1972, Benin), The Prophecy: untitled 1, digital print, 2014 3.
