Our Take
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.
