Femina Furens is the latest full-length from Chicago noise-rock duo Djunah. Pre-order it here, but don’t dilly-dally because the cool physical copies are selling pretty quickly.
Here’s the band’s write-up: “Femina Furens” fuses influences from poetry (Gerard Manley Hopkins, Sylvia Plath, John Donne) and heavy music to tell the story of diagnosis and continuing recovery from complex post-traumatic stress disorder, or C-PTSD. The album’s title comes from the Latin for “furious woman.” The artwork is inspired by representations of the divine feminine in 1970s sci-fi metal artwork.
