With a career fueled by ambition, built on hard work and constant perseverance ... An overpowering blend of digital pulses, distorted guitars and intriguing vocals ... A stance that cannot be ignored, thriving on experiment and emotion ... A SPLIT-SECOND are simply too good to be ignored, and from their conception in 1985 it didn't take the world long to acknowledge the importance of their unique musical vision.
With having released classic records like 'Flesh' (THE blueprint for the Belgian-based New Beat movement), 'Rigor Mortis' and 'Ballistic Statues' they secured themselves a place at the forefront of the international underground, while elaborate albums displayed a group capable of embracing a variety of lyrical themes and musical ingredients, arranging them into the ultimate aural synthesis for body and mind. Lengthy tours throughout Europe and North America further established A SPLIT-SECOND's reputation as one of the most vital forces in electronic, subversive rock.
After years of silence A SPLIT-SECOND emerged again with a fantastic ‘best of ‘concert on the first edition of the Belgian Independent Music Festival (Antwerp, 2002) where they stunned friend and foe with their hard hitting and energetic live show. This rememberable gig was soon to be followed with successful headlining slots on the nEUROBEATsfestival (Antwerp, B), Tinitus Festival (Stockholm, SE), the renown Electric Tremor's Familien Treffen, (Dessau, D) convincing even the most die-hard-core EBM head and the Shadowplay Festival (Kortrijk, B, 2011)
Meanwhile they continue to play festivals and clubs around the world .. To name a few ... Gentse Feesten 2019 (headliner), W-Fest 2018 + 2020, BIMFEST (x3), Foro RR Live, Mexico City, Mexico / Club madame, Sao Paulo, Brazil / Bodyfest, Stockholm, SE / Castle Party Festival, Bolkow, Poland / Sythetic Beats Festival, Bochum, D, Electrocution festival, Rostock, D / Geckofestival, Merchtem, B / WGT Festival, Leipzig, D (x2), Defcon Night @ Drom, NYC, USA stunning friend and foe over and over again!
TodayA SPLIT-SECOND is still available for clubshows and /or festivals with a 'Best of' set including such hits as Flesh, Rigor Mortis, Firewalker, On Command and many many more!
The time is ripe to get this legendary and excelent live band on your stage or like the NYC press said:
"Rigor Mortis Still Hasn't Set In After All These Years"
