Altair - Siempre habrá luces en otro lugar (2022)


The third album from the Spanish Altair is here. After the fantastic Nuestro enemigo back in 2019, Siempre habrá luces en otro lugar makes a perfect comeback to the angsty and energetic world of the band's post-hardcore music.

There's something in Altair's music that keeps me interested in their releases despite the fact that I'm not really a post-hardcore person. However, the screamy vocals here sound honest and very, very engaging. They sound like a true scream of anger and desperation without forgetting about being part of a music composition. And true to this vibe, the album starts with screamed out "The circle does not stop/ The rust of the years flies over me, creating a dense black sphere", tons of self-conscious thoughts of a human being that can be universally relatable. And anxious over. 

This atmosphere breaks at some point when in Divino tesoro the music suddenly becomes an out-of-place pop-rock derivative, but it doesn't last and the whole song dies in static noise. The whole album combines post-hardcore's desperation and, curiously, hope as even the title that translates to "There will always be lights somewhere else" can be read in two different ways.

Siempre habrá luces en otro lugar costs whatever you want to pay.
