Today, Finnish-Australian metallers THE ETERNAL release their long-awaited seventh studio album, “Skinwalker,” through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). It’s way more than a new album though: marking some kind of fresh start of the group with a renewed line-up, the 9-track offering doesn’t only please long-time followers of the band but also appeals to many new listeners outside of their previous fan base by successfully exploring new sonic territories besides their comfort zone. “Skinwalker” can now be enjoyed in its full splendour, and to mark the occasion, the group have prepared a video for the track ‘Under The Black,’ which can also be found on the album.
Check out ‘Under The Black’ now, here:
The track offers a compelling showcase of THE ETERNAL‘s progressive inclinations, blending dynamic shifts and emotive storytelling into a captivating sonic journey. With the introduction of guest Santeri Kallio‘s (AMORPHIS) Hammond organ, the track ignites into motion, driven by its pulsating energy. Guided by expressive guitar work and propelled by commanding drums and resounding bass lines, the listener is lead through a series of exhilarating peaks and valleys, where haunting vocals take centre stage. Dynamically, the track navigates the spectrum from fragile intimacy to bombastic progressive metal, showcasing THE ETERNAL‘s adeptness at crafting multifaceted compositions.
