Splendidula are an atmospheric sludge rock / doom metal collective from Belgium formed in 2008. Big riffs meet pounding beats with atmospheric passages that will lead you into a wild, heavy and psychedelic wonderland while the bewitched chants by vocalist Kristien and the guitarist’s harsh screams create a unique vocal contrast. After releasing their self-titled debut album in 2013, their acclaimed second album, Post Mortem, was released in 2018. Following an impressive series of shows in Belgium, The Netherlands, France and Switzerland, supporting acts such as Wiegedood, Alunah, Psychonaut and Wolvennest, Splendidula inked a worldwide record deal with Italian powerhouse label Argonauta Records for the release of their third album, Somnus in 2021. The album was mixed by Tim De Gieter at Much Luv Studio (Amenra, Brutus) and mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Alan Douches. Now it’s time to reissue the long out of stock self-titled debut album by Splendidula as a 10th anniversary CD edition, celebrating the beginning of the journey, the album where it all started, the strong fundament for the band’s sound as it is today. A mix of traditional occult / gothic laden sludge / doom / post-metal and alternative rock with psychedelic grooves and hypnotic drones, for open-minded fans of experimental genres. For fans of Subrosa, Chelsea Wolfe, Messa, Amenra, Theatre Of Tragedy, Bathsheba, Draconian, Cult Of Luna, A.A. Williams, Tool, Brutus, The Devil’s Blood, Gggolddd.
