Background information über 'A Dark Poem Part I: The Shores Of Melancholia'

Norwegian progressive metal veterans Green Carnation return with the first installment of their long-awaited trilogy, delivering an epic journey that showcases their mastery of dramatic storytelling through music. Founded in the early '90s by former Emperor bassist Tchort, the band has always been known for their ambitious compositions and grand, gloomy statements. "A Dark Poem Part I: The Shores of Melancholia" represents the culmination of decades of artistic evolution, finally unveiling the masterpiece that has been brewing since their earliest years. The album seamlessly weaves together various elements from their illustrious catalog while charting new territories of heaviness and emotional depth.

The lead single "In Your Paradise" immediately establishes the album's tone with sublime riffs and somber symphonic flourishes that reach newfound peaks of intensity. Throughout the record, Green Carnation navigate through scarlet clouds of war, Floydian whirlpools drenched in paranoia, and shipwrecking second wave black metal passages. Kjetil Nordhus delivers impassioned vocal performances that perfectly complement the band's familiar mastery of dynamics and atmosphere. The album's six tracks create a cohesive narrative arc that explores themes of judgment, redemption, and the human condition, all wrapped in the band's signature blend of progressive metal sophistication and emotional rawness.

For fans of:
Opeth, Paradise Lost, and Pain Of Salvation
