Founded by Emperor’s former bassist Tchort, the Norwegians quickly amassed a cult following while blazing their own trail through fields of symphonic doom, hard rock, acoustic plucking and progressive metal. However, from the beginning, there was one tale – or three, to be exact – that eluded them. Until now.\u003cbr\u003eWith ‘The Messiah Complex’, GREEN CARNATION have completed another masterpiece. Inspired by Arthur Rimbaud’s dreamy ode to Shakespearean character Ophelia, ‘A Dark Poem’ reads as a grand and gloomy album trilogy that takes listeners to crushing new highs and the deepest, darkest and most personal depths. Whether it’s the second wave black metal that drives Part I, the raw and aching ballads that support Part II or the bold 16-minute orchestral finale to Part III, the results are resounding down to the last epic note.\u003cbr\u003eThe limited-edition box set comes in an exclusive organic cotton tote bag. The box includes all three parts of ‘A Dark Poem’ on sunburst colored vinyl with special liner notes, photos from inside the studio, and an exclusive fourth LP featuring demos and outtakes from the recording sessions of the trilogy, including a new mix of “The World Without a View”.\u003cbr\u003eWith ‘A Dark Poem’, GREEN CARNATION add another masterpiece to their storied career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KATATONIA, PAIN OF SALVATION.\u003cbr\u003eArtwork by Niklas Sundin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist A Dark Poem Part I: The Shores of Melancholia:\u003cbr\u003eSide A: As Silence Took You \/ In Your Paradise \/ Me, My Enemy\u003cbr\u003eSide B: The Slave That You Are \/ The Shores of Melancholia \/ Too Close to the Flame\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis:\u003cbr\u003eSide A: Sanguis \/ Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold \/ Sweet to the Point of Bitter\u003cbr\u003eSide B: I Am Time \/ Fire in Ice \/ Lunar Tale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex:\u003cbr\u003eSide A: Unconditional Artificial Chemistry \/ The Messiah Complex \/ Broken Souls, Common Enemies\u003cbr\u003eSide B: A Dark Poem - Orchestral Suite\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist Bonus Vinyl:\u003cbr\u003eSide A: The World Without a View (A Dark Poem mix) \/ As Silence Took You (demo) \/ The Slave That You Are (demo)\u003cbr\u003eSide B: Fire in Ice (demo) \/ Loneliness Untold Loneliness Unfold (demo) \/ Broken Souls Common Enemies (demo) \/ Lunar Tale (demo)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eThis item is available for pre-order.
