Nobody - Atmosfear (Inverse Records) Review by Steve Thomas-Green This is one of those reviews with a “but”…. But for now we’ll start at the beginning Nobody is a Finnish one man band / project and the music of choice is acous�c Black Metal / Folk and the album is based around the manipula�on of people via religion. Atmosfear is the projects debut album. Sound wise, I absolutely love this. The gentle acous�cs ba�ling with the snarling Black Metal vocals work brilliantly. And the contras�ng styles make very fine bedfellows. And because the music is almost all acous�c guitars, there is a medieval feel to the album, something I always appreciate… there’s also a bit of Flamenco thrown into the mix as well, which also works well. So far so good…. The problem I have with this album is that the majority of the songs are too short. 17 tracks over 35 minutes, some are intro’s and interludes, but overall there are only 2 songs that make it over 3 minutes. So the end result feels unfinished, with the songs not having enough �me to develop into what I’d call proper songs… and that’s a very frustra�ng feeling. I love the concept, the sound, the feel of the album etc… but the song wri�ng needs a major overhaul. Even a mini albumwith 5 songs of 3 to 4 minutes dura�on would work be�er than a stream of 1 to 2 minute “snippets”. Very close, but no cigar or vaping product of your choice (if you’re s�ll da� enough to smoke) h�ps://www.facebook.com/nobodymetal/ h�ps://www.facebook.com/inverserecords/
