The debut album of the French Nostra Dementia, ‘Spectral Songs from Vehemence’, follows their ‘Vestiges…’ demo from 2016, and according to reported history, they have existed since 2010.
It is clear that these Frenchmen are not the most productive entity within the genre. Yahill, the man behind Nostra Dementia, has opted for a somewhat more sorrowful style, combined with ambient interludes and distorted vocals. In a song like ‘Personal Fall’, it is not far-fetched to mention Burzum and Abyssic Hate in terms of inspiration, although the sound is less sharp.
Only check it out if the combination of Depressive, Ambient, and Black Metal is one that meets your approval.
