GREEN CARNATION - A dark poem Part I: The shores of melancholia - DIGICD

While navigated with the band's familiar mastery, the view from 'The Shores of Melancholia' is far from heavenly. Judgement day appears around every corner, steering them from the title track's scarlet clouds of war toward Floydian whirlpools drenched in paranoia before being shipwrecked by second wave black metal. "A lesson learned, now bridges burn", bearded captain Kjetil Nordhus cries out with impassioned cleans, as if tied to the mast during the album's fiery send-off. On 'A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia', GREEN CARNATION set sail on an epic journey into a dark night of the soul. For fans of OPETH, PARADISE LOST, PAIN OF SALVATION.
