WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Barren Earth - Curse of the Red River

Peaceville Records wants to hook you up. FInnish melodic death metal supergroup Barren Earth (featuring members of Moonsorrow, Amorphis, Kreator, and Swallow the Sun) have recently released the full-length follow-up to their critically-acclaimed EP, and Peaceville wants to put a copy in your hands. Three lucky MR readers will receive a fresh-off-the-press copy of Curse of the Red River. Cooler still, one of these three champions will also receive a Barren Earth t-shirt.

So, how do you win? Well, we'll pick our winners at random, as we've been prone to do. But there's a catch. In order to be eligible, you have to post your Top Three EP's of all-time in the comments section below. 

Not much to it, legions. We'll run this contest for one week only, so get crackin'. Profess your love for brevity, and win some heavy metal courtesy of Peaceville. Good luck!

 

The Grand Prize Winner (CD + T-shirt)

NIGHTMARE

Runners Up (CD Only)

Phantom Green and Jason Jordan

We'll be in touch. Thanks to all that entered. Until next time..

I generally don't bother with EPs, so I don't have many, but:

- The Perennial - Dissention

- Monolithe - Interlude Premier

- Graves At Sea/Asunder Split

if the Graves At Sea/Asunder doesn't count, as it's pretty long, then replace it with:

- Kowloon Walled City - Turk Street
