In 2016 the second studio album Ulises was released via Aloud Music and Walking Is Still Honest Records.

style

Viva Belgrado mixes elements of post-rock with screamo in their music , whereby the music in the post-rock passages is reminiscent of groups like Envy , Explosions in the Sky , Raein and Moving Mountains . The lyrics of the band are all written in Spanish . The musicians describe themselves as feminist , anti-fascist , are vegetarians and support the LGBT scene, but the band does not deal with any political content in their songs , but rather take up emotional topics in a metaphorical and poetic way. On their debut album Flores, Carne , the musicians deal with coping with losses, the pain this process causes and how one can draw positive energies from it. The band works with the DIY principle common in punk .
