Nomad Oxygen Review

Nomad

Oxygen

Independent Release

2026 

Born from the shadows of Kortrijk's underground scene, Nomad emerges as a mysterious force in the realm of metalcore.

Per usual, I went in blind. I won’t lie, it took me a minute to catch the vibe they were giving, but in the end I do enjoy them!

Pros: it’s a well done, well thought out album! I dug the lyricism and a lot of the music! It’s heavy and in my opinion heartfelt. There’s a sense of heartbreak to the songs.

Cons: I thought it was my headphones, but I did try again in the car. There is a lot of peaking in the album, which can start to sound almost like static. It’s not super frequent but it is enough to be considered annoying. Don’t let this deter you though!

All in all, it does feel like a brand new band, making their own records, doing their own music, and trying to make waves! That in and of itself is so impressive. In these dark times, expression is important!

Go give Nomad a listen!
