Had GREEN CARNATION never returned from hiatus, the Norwegian bards would always be remembered for completing one of the most ambitious individual epics in metal\u0092s historic archives. However, there was one tale \u0097 or three, to be exact \u0097 that eluded them for more than three decades. Now, after reaching crushing new highs during its opening chapter, they\u0092re descending into deeper, darker and more personal depths with part II of \u0091A Dark Poem\u0092.
\nIf \u0091The Shores of Melancholia\u0092 set sail from a familiar place of melancholy, then \u0091Sanguis\u0092 opens with GREEN CARNATION far out at sea, fighting to stay afloat against the storm that\u0092s raging in their minds. Over the course of nine minutes, the album\u0092s epic title track vows to forgive and forget familial wreckage, washing away the bloody stains of the past with impassioned cleans and a chorus that radiates conviction \u0097 only for a traumatic memory to come flooding back during its doomy coda. The newfound heaviness from the first part of \u0091A Dark Poem\u0092 continues to age like a fine wine, balancing sweet meaty riffs with an underlying bitterness. \u0093I Am Time\u0094 demands immediate recognition with a guitar melody that winds like the winds of change. But part II reveals the band at their most raw with ballads that unfold with the grace of a wilted flower.
\n\u0093The end justifies the means, you\u0092ll see\u0094, Kjetil Nordhus sings with an eerily quiet confidence. As its final tale seeps beneath the moonlight, \u0091Sanguis\u0092 leaves fans hanging in suspense over where this trilogy will end. <\/p>\n
