ALEX NUNZIATI - Black Space Void - Reviewed By Metal Digest ! Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2023/03/27/alex-nunziati-black-space-void/
It is always interesting when a musician steps away from their comfort zone and takes on a different genre. This is the situation which Alex Nunziati has found themselves in as he takes a step away from the black metal of Theatres des Vampires and one which embraces old-school thrash metal as he releases his sophomore album ‘Black Space Void’.
One again with ‘Black Space Void’, Alex Nuzniati shows just how much of an accomplished musician he is as he delivers a solid performance. The drums here may be electronically programmed, but unless you actually draw attention to it, the passing listen will never actually notice, so you can’t really complain on that front. Furthermore, Nunziati delivers a meaty album which although can be dense at times, there are some great thrashing moments here which swing from old-school thrash through to hardcore and groove metal. This means that tracks such as ‘Vulnerable’, ‘Stardust’ and ‘The Revenge of Humans’ show that when it comes to it Nunziati can stomp around like Phil Anselmo in ‘Cowboys…’ era Pantera or have the roar of early 90’s Cavalera. However, with ‘Black Space Void’, you can’t full take the black metal away and there is a touch of dissonance and tremolo picking at times that will get that nod of appreciation from the corpse painted elite.
There is sadly quite a bit of genericism here and at times, ‘Black Space Void’ is a little forgettable, but interspersed within this are flashes of brilliance which makes this album totally worth listening to. Metal Digest
