Green Carnation - Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold - Video Cover

This is about a video that should never have appeared on our review pipe. A black screen, a chair, a guitar, and a guy singing a simple song. No action, no real cinematography to speak of, just himself, his axe, and his haunted vox. And still, here the RMR crew is twisting itself into a pretzel to justify a breach of rulez passed down by the almighty bossman.

Well, we’re talking about Green Carnation‘s 2026 record A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis. A record showered with the highest praise by the grouchy minions over at the RMR Review … [...] Click to raid more!

A Dark Poem, Part I roared forth on sturdy wings of woe (too) late in 2025. A record that didn’t deny its roots to Doom Metal Central with pronounced progressive airs, and powerfully so.

The RMR crew heard some rumblings from backstage that Greyhawk‘s crew had undergone some changes. So, that’s finally put to bed conveniently.

Warriors of Greyhawk, Greyhawk succinctly called their newest Greyhawk-y hawkishness. Now, if the choice of that title doesn’t sound … [...] Click to raid more!

Green Carnation. A band stating that they – and I quote “…are returning to long-form storytelling…” with their first installment of a trilogy, clunkily called A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia. Wow. That’s quite a statement. But then, the Norwegians here pulled exactly that stunt before to quite some critical acclaim, we are told. And the band surely doesn’t take the easy road this time, stating that “…the ambitions are sky high musically.” Well, hell’s bells, that’s not something we really could resist. Right?

Storytelling ain’t no easy feat, though. A band needs to be
