Belgium’s dark doom force SPLENDIDULA has returned with their most haunting release to date. If you missed it, now’s the time to dive into ‘Behind My Semblance’, their latest single and video that dropped at the end of 2024.
‘Behind My Semblance’ explores the emotional burden of hiding our inner struggles behind fake smiles and empty words. In a world where everyone wears a mask, this track is a raw cry from the depths. The powerful video, featuring the visual art of Mikhail Nilov, perfectly mirrors the suffocating weight of the lyrics.
Vocalist Kristien and drummer Joachim share: “From the depths of despair, we have risen once again. After losing bassist Peter in 2022 and parting ways with both guitarists, we stood in the dark, uncertain but determined. With a renewed lineup and fresh energy, we revived a song born with the old band and transformed it into something even darker and more intense. This track is not just a comeback. It is a reckoning. A tribute to the shadows behind us and the ghosts that still speak. ‘Behind My Semblance’ bridges our past album with what’s coming next — a full-length forged through pain, reflection and rebirth.”
