Our Take

From the depths of the metal underground emerges BARREN EARTH, with their latest offering "The Devils Resolve." This Finnish supergroup blends elements of death metal, prog rock, and folk into a swirling vortex of sound.

Opening track "Passing of the Crimson Shadows" sets the tone for the album with its relentless double bass drumming and haunting keyboard melodies. Vocalist Jón Aldará's growls and clean vocals dance effortlessly over the intricate guitar work of Janne Perttilä and Sami Yli-Sirniö.

"Vintage Warlords" brings a Celtic flair to the mix, with its folk-influenced melodies and thunderous drumming courtesy of Marko Tarvonen. The band's versatility shines through on tracks like "As It Is Written" and "The Rains Begin," where they seamlessly transition from bone-crushing riffs to ethereal atmospheric passages.

But it's on the epic closer "The Devil’s Resolve" where BARREN EARTH truly showcase their songwriting prowess. Clocking in at over 13 minutes, this track takes listeners on a journey through peaks and valleys of emotion, building to a triumphant climax that leaves you breathless.

Overall, "The Devils Resolve" is a masterclass in modern metal blending aggression and melody with finesse. BARREN EARTH have crafted an album that is both challenging and rewarding, a must-listen for any fan of the genre.

About the artist

Barren Earth

Barren Earth, the Finnish progressive metal supergroup that has been shaking up the music scene since 2007, is not your average band. With a unique blend of death metal, folk influences, and melodic vocals, they have carved out a niche for themselves in the crowded world of metal music. Formed by a group of seasoned musicians from other established bands such as Amorphis, Moonsorrow, and Kreator, Barren Earth brings together a wealth of talent and experience that is truly unmatched. Their technical prowess and innovative songwriting have earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim. But what sets Barren Earth apart from the rest is their sense of whimsy and humour that shines through in their music. Whether it's the quirky lyrics, unexpected time changes, or playful instrumental sections, there is always a sense of fun and unpredictability in their songs. Their latest album, "A Complex of Cages," is a perfect showcase of Barren Earth's talent and creativity. From the haunting melodies of "The Ruby" to the epic journey of "Solitude Pith," each track is a masterclass in composition and performance. So if you're looking for a band that is equal parts serious musicianship and quirky charm, look no further than Barren Earth. They may be a little off-kilter, but that's what makes them so special in the world of metal music.
