A Dark Poem, Part III : The Messiah Complex

Description

Since their very first steps into the night over 25 years ago, Green Carnation has never shied away from a challenge. Founded by Tchort, the former bassist of Emperor, in the early 90s, the Norwegian band quickly built a loyal fanbase while carving their own path through the realms of symphonic doom, hard rock, acoustic melodies, and progressive metal. However, from the very beginning, there was a story – or three, to be exact – that eluded them. Until now. With A Dark Poem, Green Carnation delivers a new masterpiece. Inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's dreamlike ode to Ophelia from Shakespeare, A Dark Poem unfolds as a grand and dark trilogy that takes listeners to new dizzying heights and into the darkest, most intimate, and personal depths. Whether it's the second wave of black metal that surprises Part I like a storm at sea, the raw and poignant ballads underpinning Part II, or the bold 16-minute orchestral finale of Part III, the result resonates until the last epic note. With A Dark Poem, Green Carnation adds a new masterpiece to their legendary career. For fans of OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KATATONIA, PAIN OF SALVATION.
