Mensdom Unleash ‘Bid Vir My’ Single and Video

Mensdom Unleash ‘Bid Vir My’ Single and Video – Mensdom, an emerging force in the Afrikaans rock scene, proudly unveil the second single and companion video, ‘Bid Vir My’, from their forthcoming debut album ‘Bonatuurlik’. Building on the warm reception of their first single and video, ‘Skaapgenade’, this paves the way for the eagerly anticipated full-length album due on Friday 18 July.

Since bursting onto the South African music scene in 2018, Mensdom have carved out a unique niche. Blending unflinching storytelling with stadium-sized rock dynamics. The quartet – whose current line-up comprises Linus Ungerer (vocals), David Francis (guitar), Dirk Francis (bass) and Anthony Panayotou (drums) – draws on lyrical honesty to create songs that feel both intimately vulnerable and epic in scale.

‘Bid Vir My’ immerses listeners in the stillness of midnight, evoking universal anxieties about life’s fragility and the great unknown. Over a brooding riff, Ungerer delivers a heartfelt appeal for comfort and understanding. By exploring themes of belief and seeking reassurance, the band capture the delicate balance between uncertainty and optimism, culminating in a chorus that unites everyone in our shared human vulnerability.

Earlier this year, Mensdom unveiled their debut single ‘Skaapgenade’ from ‘Bonatuurlik’ – a commanding fusion of folk-tinged guitar motifs and seismic, stadium-sized riffs that convey a powerful message of identity and self-awareness. Listeners praised its candid lyricism and raw sonic intensity, noting how the song’s emotive performance and gritty production expand the Afrikaans rock landscape with authentic storytelling and unbridled energy.

‘Bonatuurlik’ lands on Friday 18 July, offering eight tracks that journey through introspection, defiance and redemption:
