BARREN EARTH - CURSE OF THE RED RIVER (2010)

genre : melodic,progressive doom/death
similar bands : Amorphis, In Mourning, Moonsorrow
origin : Finland
strong spot : melodies, diversity
weak spot : -


All albums from Finland have a solid production and a very mature performance, so ''Curse of the Red River'' could not be an exception. Indeed, this album has all these ingredients but what makes it really enjoyable is its diversity. There is a huge variety of influences (progressive rock, psychedelic rock, doom metal, death metal, progressive metal etc) that are filtered in a very clever way and result in an abundance of impressions and moods. That's not a surprise since the line up consists of former members of bands like Kreator(!), Amorphis, Moonsorrow, Swallow the Sun and lots of others.
