Jordan Vauvert 《 On naît seul, on vit seul, on meurt seul. Et même quand on baise on est seul. 》
— Seul contre tous. Gaspar Noé.

Certains s'engagent dans la voie du one-man band parce qu'ils n'ont pas les moyens d'assumer un groupe ou parce que leur vision est trop complexe. netra est un one-man band parce que c'est comme ça que ça doit être et c'est aussi grâce à ça que Mélancolie urbaine casse les codes. Le black metal dépressif, le jazz noir, l'electro : tout fait ressentir une humanité qui s'effiloche... Favorite track: Outside...Alone.

starvynth "A decent bunch of black metal bands have flirted with electronic styles before, but I truly feel like this project is one of the few that takes it to the next level. Making these influences more than just outside influences forced into the regular formula, but rather a key part to Netra's sound as vital as everything else."

Gina Jordan This album takes the listener on a journey that's dark & dank, urban city scapes with a uniqueness in "black" metal (for lack of a better comparison) I've not heard before. This was in my wishlist too long!

about

The street lights are colder than usual, how come I am so moved ? I feel the urge to escape, to make everything vanish for a while. netra's Melancolie Urbaine album is one of the most original metal albums to be released in a very long time and something that is truly unique. Many influences have been leading the writing process of netra including extreme metal, trip-hop, rock and blues. This album is an incredibly atmospheric journey to your innermost thoughts and nightmares and transcends the typical depressive black metal soundscapes. Raw guitar work, absolutely stunning ambience, powerful melodies, jazz-esque solos, and an atmosphere which has the capacity to drown you in a world of depressing urban landscapes. Released in a standard jewel case in an edition of 1000, this is one of the best albums of 2010 and is not to be missed for any fans of Shining, Manes, Katatonia, Bohren und der club of gore, or someone who is getting tired of depressive black metal bands going through the motions.
