Duelo

Jordan Vauvert Le corps d'Antonin Artaud volait en éclats et se ramassait "sous dix mille aspects", celui de Samuel Beckett se brisait en mille morceaux ; dans Duelo, Nostalghia est divisé en deux, c'est un corps vivant en train de mourir. Si le désespoir prend à la gorge grâce au chant DSBM d'Alex Beccera, si le black metal est rapide et agressif, il reste un virtuose (Valeria Dávila y est aussi pour quelque chose).
Pas son album le plus innovant en soi mais certainement le plus maîtrisé et donc le meilleur ! Favorite track: Self Inflicted.

X Wild Alaskan Salmonella X I got away from indie blackened genre releases for a while because the scene seemed oversaturated with low-effort entries, so I didn't expect much from my first Nostalghia listen. However, I'm pleased to tell you Nostalghia are gifted with good production, a memorable melodic sense, and compositional variation. Wheel not reinvented, but very round indeed. Highly recommended as blackened comfort food! Favorite track: Love/Loss.

bmurator Mexican Atmospheric Post-Black Metal. Alex Becerra's music is always so hypnotic & captivating as well as downright haunting that he has me hook line & sinker each & every time! If the atmospheres don't get to you, the music certainly will. Alex's huge talent is inescapable & this is possibly even better than his previous albums! As for that clarinet solo i am madly in love & speechless & in awe! Highly recommended!!!

Luke Perhaps Nostalghia's most anguished album. A dark diary of non-beloning absence and isolation. While it lacks some of the genre- bending flourishes of previous albums, don't mistake it for a one-note dsbm record. Alex has far more talent than to let that happen.

Scars on my chest bleed once again. Holding the knife, I cut open, tearing my flesh apart. I can't see the end of this emptiness. I stand lifeless, unable to breathe. But I can't seem to die, my hands are too weak. This absence weighs me six feet under. Crush these bones, take this body. Come and save me, from this endless grief; give me your sweet kiss, I want to be free. My veins are empty, this heart pumps nothing. All by myself, I seek this pain.
3.
Skies a different shade, a sunset which leaves everything in the dark. Tears cloud my vision, a twilight of senses erasing my mind. Fail to leave, fail to stay. When I return, I'll find nothing but a shallow grave for dead dreams. Fear of deceptiion, for all that I knew has been left in the past. Lost in my memory, unable to leave all my sorrow behind. I am not dead, but I no longer live. Buried deep within, I rot away. Where am I? Who is this I see? Life is but a dream; help me wake up.

Love/Loss 06:16
Lose what you love, love what you can lose... myself, a home, this life. Born with death within, it beckons me. Please understand, there is no other way out. It's stronger than my will. Is this the end? All tears have dried inside. I'm counting my days till I depart. Save all your words; they won't help. I've made up my mind: leave all behind. There's only loss for me. Please understand, this is all I have. Please forgive me, please forgive me...

May 05:21
My wings are withered May flowers. There's no sky to roam. Where can I lie to find my warmth? Lost from the start. I am left to be devoured, by time and worms, tied to this Earth. Let me go.
6.
Isolation 04:50
No eyes to see; just a dark void. No mouth to scream; my skin speaks for me. Hide from the sunlight, escape this Earth. Embrace all your wounds, they're your only home. In my dreams I die alone. Walk on the edge, fall to despair. Live alone, die alone. I belong nowhere.
7.
Adrift at sea, forever. No place to stay. Perhaps the ocean floor will be my grave, deep asleep in the cold. To dwell eternal within myself, until the end of days, my final breath. Ghosts of December come back to haunt these walls. Inside, my veins are burning, they ache for tonight's cold. In my death bed, I will find bliss. Don't mourn for me, for I've lost nothing. Hear my words: I am nonexistent. Die in my own arms. Die by my own hand. All wander in the mist, forever. Adrift, forever. This is my resting place.
