Finnish doom, prog metal band BARREN EARTH has their new minisite online. Including band, release information and audio samples from their debut EP 'Our Twilight.' Release date: 9th November Europe, 11th Finland and 17th US. BARREN EARTH is a new formation. Driving forces are guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö from Kreator, bass player Olli-Pekka Laine (ex- Amorphis) and current members of Swallow the Sun and Moonsorrow.
Finland’s BARREN EARTH presents this 4-track EP of progressive & folk textured death metal. Inspired by everything from OPETH to PINK FLOYD, & PARADISE LOST to JETHRO TULL, plus obscure psychedelic rock & Finnish prog, it's a fine journey through the realm of melodic brutality & keyboard-soaked atmosphere.
'Our Twilight' was recorded in late June 2009 in Finland, at Seawolf Studios and Jive Studios.
