Mr Stone showed me a band that I didnt know of...and MMMM I liked it a lot, althought this video was a bit weird, but I do love the music.
Very Powerful hard metal with a touch of Opeth.
So who are they Barren Earth, a finnish band, hm...let me see they released a new album in march this year named: Curse Of The Red River The Terroizer says: "Potent, aristocratic and utterly beautiful."
They write on their mySpace page:
Sometimes like-minded artists with a strong musical past get together to create enduring, quality music with true purpose. Bloodbath’s return last year was rightly hailed by fans and critics alike as an instant classic and another band set to become more than the sum of its parts is Barren Earth.
Part of the reason for this is that Barren Earth are no hastily thrown together side project. Born from an idea hatched in late 2006, the band formed in Helsinki in the autumn of 2007. With a head full of brutal, yet melodic songs, Olli-Pekka Laine asked drummer Marko Tarvonen to form a progressive death metal group with him and things slowly fell into place from there while a full band line-up was quickly established.

Tony Harnell is an American hard rock singer. With over 25 years in the industry and with about 20 of them as lead singer of TNT so now Tony Harnell launched his solo career. Perhaps not with this album as this is more than a signoff from his past. This album which contained some new, some covers and redesigned arrangements. This time it is with other musicians, and all ten of the fourteen tracks are songs TNT.
Tony Harnell show once again that he is one of the world's top singers. And the new album "Roundtrip" sounds great.
The Norse God of Metal. The leader of the renaissance of classic Hard Rock on its highest level. One of the most prolific and sought-after singers of today, whose immense vocal talent has reserved him a status of a living legend to be counted amongst the greatest giants in the history of rock.
This is Jorn Lande and now he offers his talents to honor the legacy of Ronnie James Dio, arguably one of Lande’s biggest influences and truly one of the best singers in Rock Music. His new album "Dio" is the seventh studio album, was released 2nd of July 2010. The album was recorded as a tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio and consists of covers of songs from Dio, Black Sabbath and Rainbow, with one original composition written for Ronnie James Dio. Lande describes the album as a "fine collection of songs that present the music of the Man and the Artist, with a unique twist" and a "sincere and heartfelt “thank you” to a great and influential Artist" who "has affected my life and career in such a way that without his presence, I would not have become the artist I am today".
A music video for the song "Song for Ronnie James" was released on Youtube. The announcement of the album didn't pass off without critique however, as some fans accused Lande of exploiting the death of Dio. Frontiers Records President released a statement in which he denies those accusations and explains that the albums has been in the works since spring of 2009
In Jorn’s own words “Throughout the years I have had the privilege of both meeting and working with many of the musicians that have inspired me on my musical journey. Ronnie James Dio has inspired me through decades, and this man's influence continues to add color to my creative spirit. Ever since the first time I heard his royal roar back in the 70's, I have been fascinated by this extremely talented man's creative force and dedication to music. His career has been going on for so long and includes so many great songs, that it was a challenge to decide which songs and what era to focus on. I ended up focusing on the DIO era. I wrote 'Song for Ronnie James' as a tribute and a personal thanks to the man who has been my mentor for more than 35 years. This great man has affected my life and career in such a way that without his presence, I would not have become the artist I am today”.
This album includes many classics and there will be a review on this record soon on Werock, but i like what i hear sofar.
