Trzecia część trylogii GREEN CARNATION w piątek

 

Since their very first journey into the night more than 25 years ago, GREEN CARNATION have never shied away from a challenge. However, from the beginning, there was one tale – or three, to be exact – that eluded them. Until now. After reaching crushing new peaks and delving into the deepest, darkest and most personal depths of their career during its first two parts, the prog bards are bringing their critically-acclaimed album trilogy to a bold conclusion on A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex.

Founded in the early ‘90s by Emperor’s original bassist Tchort, Green Carnation amassed a cult following behind critical acclaim for Light of Day, Day of Darkness, an album containing a single hour-long song that still resonates as one of the most ambitious epics in metal’s archives. Current members Bjørn Harstad (guitar) and Endre Kirkesola (keyboard, producer), along with Nordhus and Sordal, were already in place by 2001. But whether it was the gothic crush of A Blessing in Disguise or pitch-black hard rock of The Quiet Offspring, Green Carnation continued branching out through the mid-2000s. Even before going on hiatus in 2007, they still flashed a flare for the dramatic by performing their acoustic verses underneath a mountain dam.

With A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex, Green Carnation finish a masterpiece that stands alongside Light of Day, Day of Darkness as the defining statement of their storied career.
