The band comments:

“Echoes Of Quiet Remain holds a special place within Absentia, an album dedicated to those we have lost. The song grew from a few unfinished riffs written by our bassist Peter, who passed away in 2022. The lyrics were shaped by the grief of losing our loyal companion Gimli, while the spoken words by our former guitarist Pieter are a heartfelt tribute to Peter. When we met Aaron Stainthorpe, one of the favorite artists of our dear friend Sven who passed in 2021, it felt like fate to invite him as a guest vocalist. This song brings together the stories of our lost ones, and that is why it had to be our first single.”

While Aaron Stainthorpe reflects:

“The decision to take part in this song wasn’t simply based on the excellent music, but the story behind it, and the ensuing sadness. When I was informed that the song, and indeed the entire album, was dedicated to the memory of the band’s lovely friend, Sven, I was totally in. Emotional music has been the backbone of my music career and this is exactly what we have within Splendidula. Dark and beautiful, this comes straight from the heart.”
