4.5 superb | Brady Hayes | July 7th 20 | First track is one of the best emo-violence tracks ive heard in ages. Drumming is just
unreal.

4.2 excellent | Erwann S. STAFF | July 2nd 20 | Skramz is doing good these past few years. 2019 was the year that saw a great battle for screamo's throne, between State Faults, Vi Som (etc.), Joliette, Cara Neir, and some newcomers: Nuvolascura. Last year they weren't on par with the others to truly compete. This year they can claim the throne from Envy and No Note, thanks to their blistering pace, emotional violence and technical capability. We'll wait for the end of the year to see which skramz is the best, but Nuvolascura made sure they would be taken into account this year.

4.0 excellent | nnpoc | April 12th 22 | A fresh breath of fresh air for screamo, Nuvolascura combines high-pitched screams with these almost disgusting guitars to create something that could come out of a horror movie. And this isn't a bad thing. These screams and instrumentals are oddly beautiful. Even though I do think some fat could be trimmed on this record, it's still one I'd highly recommend.

4.0 excellent | Bedex | July 9th 20 | Boy I love this band. I need to rejam this versus the s/t and perhaps on another day though. I probably overhyped the s/t, and I perhaps wasn't in the best conditions to jam this one, but on first listen I feel like I prefer the debut. This one has higher highs but seems less focused, with more sort of down time (if such a term applies to the band) and sometimes track construction that wants to do too much and to go into too many directions. There are loads of jams but I didn't write them down because this is very short and also not the kind of album where I feel like it'd make sense to come back to singular tracks. The absolutely dope closing triad bumps this a point to a temporary (probably) 4.0

4.0 excellent | Blud Vidal | July 9th 20 | The Envy comparisons are inevitable yet somewhat needless. Nuvolascura offer a package that is both more bruising and more bruised than their Japanese counterparts. The record is paced perfectly for its desired emotional effect, pelting the listener with a hectic mishmash of noise, math, and skramz.

3.5 great | ajcollins15 | July 9th 20 | Nuvolascura is a four-piece screamo and emoviolance band from L.A. and honestly, I had never heard of them until I started looking at people's top halfway list of 2020 and honestly, I am quite surprised by what I was presented with. For such a short album there is a lot of emotion put into all the lyrics and sound. Dealing with the everyday life of dealing with depression, this album is extremely brutal both sonically and lyrically to listen to; and I absolutely love it. The biggest downfall of this album is that everything comes out the same after a while and a lot of the interludes don?t feel necessary for how short this record is. Also, the record can be a bit scattered at points where the focus is put on different instruments which is a bit weird. Plus the vocals are so muffled out by the instrumentation that it can be hard to even hear Erica sing.

4.5 superb | Slex | July 3rd 20 | The amount of cohesion and purpose within such a short and chaotic package is honestly tremendous; this is a serious standout within the recent resurgence of screamo.
