Written in the aftermath of several personal tragedies, Absentia opens a new and vulnerable chapter for Splendidula. The album was created during a period marked by the passing of loved ones, including bassist Peter Chromiak. Musically, the band blends black metal and doom with fragile atmospheric passages, creating a sound drenched in sorrow, tension and introspection.

Under the banner Absentia in the Church, Splendidula will unveil their new album Absentia on Saturday, April 18, at GC Het Marca in Maarkedal, Belgium. The former Saint Eligius Church, well known for hosting the Church of Doom events, offers an unmistakably fitting setting for the band’s emotionally charged music and dark melancholy.
Thy Light is invited as special guest to headline the event. The Brazilian masters of depressive black metal are internationally acclaimed for their raw emotional intensity and atmospheric depth. They will be accompanied by Danish atmospheric black metal band Sunken, ambient/drone project Ashtoreth, and doom/death metal band My Lament.
Due to the unique nature of the venue, capacity is strictly limited to 250 attendees. Early ticket purchase is strongly recommended.
