Barren Earth - On Lonely Towers (SOtD MCDLXIII)

Barren Earth has released a new album, debutting their new singer Jón Aldará.
On Lonely Towers is the third full-length album from the Finnish Melodic Progressive Death Metal band.

2nd Best Album Of 2012: Barren Earth - The Devil's Resolve

The most awesome Progressive Melodic Death Metal released in 2012.
The influence of early Amorphis is easily noted, and also not surprising. But the sound is unique and the song writing is top notch.

Barren Earth - Passing of the Crimson Shadows

Barren Earth - The Devil's Resolve (SOtD CCCLVI)

Two years after their acclaimed debut full length, Barren Earth has just released their second album, The Devil's Resolve.
By the sample below, I would say that the Melodic Death Metal band from Finland is in great shape, and have another winner in their hands.

Song Of the Day - III

Another MS Award of 2010 where I hit the jackpot was in the debut album category. Barren Earth with Curse Of The Red River (for me also the best Melodic Death / Gothemburg Metal album of the year) won the award, but I'm not sure if a new band composed of musicians with years of career should be allowed to participate in this award. For a debut album, is an extremely mature and solid release from the Finnish band.
