With former members of Finnish metallers Amorphis, plus current members of Swallow the Sun, Moonsorrow, and Kreator, Finland"s Barren Earth presents `The Curse Of the Red River"; the debut album of progressive and folk textured death metal. Inspired by everything from Opeth to Pink Floyd, and Paradise Lost to Jethro Tull, plus obscure psychedelic rock and Finnish prog, it"s a fine journey through the realm of melodic brutality and keyboard-soaked atmosphere.
