Nostalghia are a solo project from Mexico City, Mexico that plays and atmospheric and depressive style of post black metal and this is a review of his self released 2020 album "Obsequies For Lost Memories".
Tragic sounding keyboards start off the album while female vocals can also be heard briefly before going into a heavier direction. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with some clear male vocals also being utilized at times and they also give the music more of a post rock touch.
High pitched depressive black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording while melodic can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing. Clean playing and acoustic guitars can also be heard in certain sections of the album along with the music also having its progressive moments.
The solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are utilized and when the music finally speeds up on a couple of songs a small amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark, depressive and poetic themes.
In my opinion Nostalghia are a very great sounding atmospheric and depressive post black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Pale Phoenix" and "The Fallen". 8 out of 10.
