6 MINS LATER
MikeHOST
So I wandered briefly, but on the first night I was very tired, but I was trying to stay up a little bit.
MikeHOST
I don't know why, because given the amount of time I was there, it doesn't really matter how long, like what I saw or what I did or if I got acclimated to the time zone.
MikeHOST
But I went to the Green Carnation pre-party, which was very awkward for me.
TimHOST
I think it was awkward for everyone based on green carnation fans.
AlHOST
Talk to me about it.
ScottHOST
So I picked a band called Green Carnation.
ScottHOST
They've actually been around a while.
ScottHOST
They surprisingly are from where, Al? Norway.
ScottHOST
All right.
ScottHOST
Here we go.
ScottHOST
My new tune this week, The Messiah Complex from Green Carnation off of their new release, A Dark Poem Part 3, The Messiah Complex.
ScottHOST
And that's followed up by Gravity itself from Isobar off of Isobar 5.
Steve GouldHOST
Earlier we had an airbag track, courtesy of Our Lady.
Steve GouldHOST
Well, next up is a band called Green Carnation.
Steve GouldHOST
I have played them before.
Steve GouldHOST
In September last year, they released A Dark Poem Part One.
Steve GouldHOST
That's a bit of a mouthful.

Is the task I've been assigned I am not judging Therefore I am a trusted friend I am debated At times referred I will ask why Some will get away With every bison cold I will comply But given time I will ask why I don't embrace, I don't know how The time I will ask why
Steve GouldHOST
From Norway, Green Carnation, off their latest album, A Dark Poem, Part 3, The Messiah Complex, and that was unconditional artificial chemistry.
Steve GouldHOST
These bands do like to put my tongue through some workouts, I have to say.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
The sign that suffers is due to rejection A mind that thinks of its own Judgements upon you, the kingdom of heaven Is found at the stairs of the church Listen Messiah, for love only human I march for a chair by the throne And you know the words, you're lying
Ken SlaterHOST
And that was Green Carnation from Norway.
Ken SlaterHOST
Their latest album is called The Dark Poem Part 3, The Messiah Complex.
Ken SlaterHOST
And the track was The Messiah Complex.
speaker_0HOST
This is their third in a series of odes to Shakespeare's Ophelia.
speaker_0HOST
Titled A Dark Poem, Part 3, The Messiah Complex, which follows the album released earlier this year, A Dark Poem Part 2, Sangris, the killer album that was released last year, 2025, by Green Carnation, A Dark Poem Part 1, The Shores of Melancholia, and 2025 was the... first installment of this three-part series and I think this album is an excellent follow-up to the first two in the series playing just right in and they they play as like one long album it's a three-part series why wouldn't it and this was a bit softer than I initially expected and a bit doomier, but I really enjoyed these softer tones.
speaker_0HOST
This wasn't as shreddy.
speaker_0HOST
I expected this to be somewhat heavier, but I thought there was a lot more grooves than I initially expected.
TonyHOST
Well, and like we were talking about, there hasn't been a ton, but surprisingly, there's been a ton of great prog, which I always love.
TonyHOST
Now, this one kind of crosses over with a lot of death metal fans, so like... amorphous fans you know death metal it became progressive metal green carnation um just released part three uh in their uh a dark poem series of albums so it's of course it's it's a very prog name as well so the band's green carnation it and the album is called a dark poem part three the messiah complex very pretentious proggy album of course of course uh it features uh artwork from the front man of dark tranquility nicholas sundin who has done a ton of artwork for metal bands oh
MikeHOST
cool
TonyHOST
uh this particular uh series of albums has incredible artwork as well i will probably post some of that um and uh yeah it's it's just honestly if you like melodic metal um you know in the vein of i always associate these guys with um bands like iotan um uh excuse me bands like opeth um even late dark tranquility is very progressive so uh if you like just really great bombastic progressive you know kind of flirting with death metal type of of music this is a really good one uh this is
