“Newest release by Skull Servant”
From the depths of doom's vast cathedral: Splendidula's Absentia is a grief-shattered masterwork blending black metal and doom with fragile atmospheric passages — "this is our pain" — featuring guest voices from Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride) and Tim Yatras (Austere). The title track Absentia (Single) suffocates with atmospheric black metal alongside Yatras's haunting contributions, while Behind My Semblance resurfaces from despair and rebirth — a reckoning blending doom, black, and post-metal behind a façade of false normality. Post Mortem carves intense modern Post/Sludge/Doom landscapes with Kristien's bewitching chants against harsh screams, and Monolithic Aeons completes the descent with crushing feedback-laden drones, funeral-pace riffage, and dystopian post-industrial atmospheres across a definitive sonic archive.
