 Splendidula are an atmospheric sludge / doom collective from Belgium 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 from vocalist Kristien and the harsh screams of the guitarist create a unique vocal contrast.
 After releasing their self-titled debut album in 2013, their acclaimed second album ‘Post Mortem’ was released in 2018. Following an impressive series of shows in Belgium, 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) and mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Alan Douches at West West Side Music. The album was very well received both by fans and press.
 “Splendidula take us on a journey into darkness and despair, and everything in between.” - The Sleeping Shaman
 “If you’re looking for a wildly different doom/sludge/post-metal band to fully experience and perhaps embrace during the Winter season more then Somnus is the answer.” - Outlaws Of The Sun
 “A band that blends doom, sludge, post and touch of symphony into one enticing package. And if any of these subgenres are your cup of tea then you’ll have a great time checking this out.” - Shredding
 ‘Somnus’ is now available as two coloured vinyl editions - clear vinyl with black and blue splatter (REX205LPC) and milky white vinyl with black splatter (REX205LPM).
