As I already told you in my review of the "promotional" EP of Barren Earth, I was sure that this band could become famous, but obviously we all needed a confirmation through the release of an official first album. This is now done and I can finally tell you my humble opinion about The Curse Of The Red River, the first release of the Finnish combo. This album is really good and even if the band still need to improve on some points, I found some really good things in the release and Barren Earth will have to be considered as a great newcomers. No need any more suspense, let's just talk about music now and you'll understand why I'm so enthusiastic! Read more ›› |

Rock solid album, but falls a bit flat on it's second half, I think.

Sounds so much like Amorphis at times... Don't care, nevertheless.

What a debut! Arguably the best frosh release from a metal band ever! The production is so dam good and each song has its own trademark. Not one bad song on the whole album. I am looking for great things from this band!

I don't recall how I got to this band (prolly looked somewhere at "similar artists" to a band I like) but I can really hear the Amorphis and Opeth influences here. I don't mind it at all though. It's beautiful music! Can't get enough of this genre!
