After an overlong self-imposed exodus, Belgian band Diemen Sniep return with « CRY_O », their first new music since 2023’s “All Scum.”
Somewhere between the abrasion of Swans, the fever of The Birthday Party and the stillness of Talk Talk, Diemen Sniep inhabit a space where noise rock, post-punk tension, dreamy soundscapes and infectious hooks collide.
“CRY_O” reveals a darker, more intimate side of the band. Seductive and quietly unsettling, the track builds its tension from the inside, balancing abrasion and vulnerability in a way that feels both strangely familiar and hauntingly seductive.
The single is the first glimpse of Nobody Likes a Pity Party, Diemen Sniep’s sophomore album, arriving November 13, 2026 via JauneOrange. Built over years of restless work across Belgium and the Netherlands, the album embraces contradiction, moving freely between violence, fragility, catharsis and contemplation.
