““This is our pain…””
From the depths of despair, they have risen: Splendidula's Absentia opens a devastating new chapter — six tracks of black metal and doom drenched in grief, shaped by loss and featuring guest contributions by Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride) and Tim Yatras (Austere). Their earlier single Behind My Semblance blends doom, black and post-metal to explore the hidden struggles behind our public façades. Meanwhile, BÁL's Dög takes a raw hybrid approach, merging analog tape warmth with digital processing into something viscerally its own.
