Barren Earth - The Devil's Resolve

Genre: Atm.Death/Doom/Heavy
Country: Finland
Year: 2012

1. Passing Of The Crimson Shadows
2. The Rains Begin
3. Vintage Warlords
4. As It Is Written
5. The Dead Exiles
6. Oriental Pyre
7. White Fields
8. Where All Stories End

2nd album by Barren Earth, a 'supergroup' consisting of bassist Olli-Pekka Laine (Mannhai, ex-Amorphis), vocalist Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun, Alghazanth), keyboardist Kasper Mårtenson (ex-Amorphis, Mannhai), drummer Marko Tarvonen (Moonsorrow, Chaosbreed) and guitarists Sami Yli-Sirniö (Kreator, Waltari) and Janne Perttilä (Rytmihäiriö, Circus of Flesh). The band has taken extreme metal elements of death and doom and blended them with the precision and experimental power of 70s progressive rock, and then also added a fair touch of folk to the mix. The songs are even more epic in nature and they seem more full than their debut.

Suidakra - Lupine Essence

Genre: Black/Death/Epic
Country: Germany
Year:1997

1. Banshee
2. Dragon Tribe
3. Heresy
4. Sheltering Dreams
5. Havoc
6. Warpipes Call Me
7. ...And A Minstrel Left The Mourning Valley
8. Internal Epidemic

This is the self-released debut album by Suidakra. It blends elements of medieval/epic, melodic death and black metal quite nicely. The clean male and female vocal work does offer a somewhat melancholy gothic tinge to what is otherwise a very epic and aggressive offering. The production is a bit raw, but it delivers the medieval feeling very well.

From start to finish, this record is just a totally cacophonous, outrageous, blasting demonstration of how death/grind should be done. This is pure violence through great songs, always inspired and catchy. This is pure brutality looking always to the past. 30 minutes of speed, brutality and inspiration.

The overall musical composition of the songs features a wide variety of changes as well as keyboard arrangements that takes the band’s sound to a whole different level. Vocal wise, the band utilizes the traditional harsh vocals, but also combine clean vocals.
