Barren Earth- Our Twilight (EP)

來自芬蘭由成名樂手組成的陰鬱派前衛死亡/民謠金屬樂團Barren Earth將在11月9日由和平鄉公所唱片(Peaceville)發行第一張EP「Our Twilight」。這個由兩位前Amorphis樂手加上Swallow the Sun現任主唱組成的樂團，不難想像其音樂走向，Amorphis中版節奏的民謠風，摻上一點點Opeth招牌：死亡金屬加上風琴音色的鍵盤點綴。或如唱片公司所宣傳的，他們音樂風格受到Paradise Lost, Opeth, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull等樂團的影響。呼呼，這年頭Opeth也是拿來騙錢的形容詞之一。

簽約之後當然講了一堆客套話：
“Getting signed by Peaceville Records is a great honour, as they are one of the very few metal labels left who have a passion and feeling for the music they release. To us, it also feels like coming home, because in a way they carry a big responsibility for BARREN EARTH’s existence by having released the most important albums from pioneers such as Autopsy and Paradise Lost. Those albums played a huge role, when we sucked our musical mother’s milk in the late 80’s and early 90’s. This is a fact that should be noticeably evident in Barren Earth’s sound and music. Hopefully BARREN EARTH will also be able to add a fresh spin to Peaceville’s already impressive roster”
- Olli-Pekka Laine
