Fuzzy remembers when SPLENDIDULA released "Somnus" last year and really enjoyed the heavy riffs and especially the band's unique mix of vocals, with female-fronted singing set at odds with screams from the guitarist. So it's good news to hear that the vinyl has just received a repress from Argonauta Records, and you can grab a code below to add the album to your Bandcamp collection. Listen to "Somnus" by Splendidula:
From the band:
Splendidula is an atmospheric sludge/doom collective from Belgium that was 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 by Inverse Records from Finland and the Belgian Dust & Bones Records. Following an impressive series of shows In Belgium and 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, etc.) and mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Alan Douches at West West Side Music. The album was very well received both by fans and (inter)national press, and was also released in South America later by Ruidoteka Records.
