Background information about 'A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis'

Green Carnation unleashes the second chapter of their monumental trilogy with "A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis", and what a breathtaking descent into emotional darkness this is! Where the first part set sail from familiar melancholic shores, "Sanguis" finds the Norwegian progressive masters fighting against mental storms in deeper, more turbulent waters. The epic nine-minute title track opens like a confession booth, washing away bloody familial stains with Kjetil Nordhus's impassioned vocals and a chorus that radiates pure conviction – only to crash into traumatic memories during its doomy finale.

This isn't just another prog-metal release; it's an emotional battlefield where sweet, meaty riffs balance against underlying bitterness like aged wine. "I Am Time" demands immediate attention with guitar melodies that wind like the very essence of change itself, while the raw ballads unfold with the grace of wilted flowers. The newfound heaviness from the trilogy's opening chapter continues to evolve, revealing Green Carnation at their most vulnerable yet powerful. As Nordhus sings with eerily quiet confidence, "The end justifies the means, you'll see", the album leaves fans suspended in spine-tingling anticipation for the trilogy's conclusion.

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