2024 is kicking off with remarkable strength, and the latest Viva Belgrado album is truly something to behold. 'Cancionero de los cielos' may not reinvent the wheel in terms of the alternative rock and post-hardcore fusion, and the band wears their influences on their sleeves to some extent. However, every element presented on this album is meticulously crafted, performed, and produced, evoking a flood of emotions. It serves as a journey through themes of love and passion. Despite my limited proficiency in Spanish, the heart and soul behind each track are palpable. If you have any affinity for melodic and anthemic post-hardcore, especially with a shoegaze twist towards the end of the album, this is undoubtedly worth a listen.
