Belgian band Diemen Sniep have released their second album, ‘Nobody Likes a Pity Party’, today through JauneOrange.

The ten-track album is their first since 2021’s ‘Life Without Adrenaline’. We featured ‘CRY_O’ back in September, followed by ‘LOGS’ in October. Both gave us a taste of the band’s quieter side, although they certainly haven’t lost their appetite for noise.

The band have spent several years working on ‘Nobody Likes a Pity Party’, recording in different studios across Belgium and the Netherlands. Maximiliaan de Hoogd, Yannick Lemoine and Jamshid Mahmoudy produced the album, with Mahmoudy also mixing it at Kasbah Studios in Maastricht. Christian Bethge handled the mastering in Germany.

‘LOGS’ deals with the frustration of spending years working towards something without knowing where it’s going. It’s a feeling that crops up elsewhere on the album, which ends with the nearly seven-minute ‘Hard to Convey’.

The album is out digitally and on pink vinyl, limited to 300 copies. Diemen Sniep will play a release show in Liège on November 19, with Duane Serah opening.
