Starting off as a solo project by Anaiah Lei, who wrote and recorded all the tracks on Our Day Will Come, Zulu is now a collective that play live shows and create music videos to spread the Zulu message of black consciousness live and loud. Our Day Will Come takes the genre of powerviolence, blends it with classic 80s hardcore, metal, as well as modern beatdown, giving it a much needed update in the process, and at the same time steering it towards its beginnings as a genre of punk protest rather than, at times, the comedic grindcore that it can sometimes be known for today. From start to finish this release is a musical journey, enriched with samples and references from outside hardcore, for example I Sit Alone in my Four Cornered Room Staring at Candles gives us a snippet of Our Day Will Come by Ruby & the Romantics. Their juxtaposition within the tracks gives an often haunting and thoughtful effect.
