Finland's solo project Nobody has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an acoustic form of folk rock with some touches of black meta; and this is a review of his 2021 album "Eternal Infernal" which was released by Inverse Records.
Acoustic guitar playing which also uses a good mixture of finger picking and full chords starts off the album along with some percussion and drum beats a few seconds later. Clean vocals are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the music also brings in a great amount of folk music elements.
Touches of world music can also be heard at times while some of the more grim side of black metal can also b e heard in some of the vocals. Folk instruments are also added on some of the tracks along with one song also introducing spoken word parts onto the album as well as some mid 60's to early 70's rock influences also being added into certain sections of the recording.
On this recording Nobody focuses less on a black metal influenced style and goes into more of an acoustic folk rock direction. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover Occultism, Folklore and Historical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nobody and while it is no longer heavily rooted in black metal, I can see this album appealing to fans of acoustic folk rock. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Children of Pompeii" "Bathory" "Owl Demon" and "Sexhex". 8 out of 10.
