Welcome to
Green Carnation. Welcome to to a majestic symphonic doom metal opus. One piece
album! Suits me fine, I like long songs. Very progressive and ambitious. This
masterpiece was composed and written by Tchort and is musically dedicated to
his son, Damien Aleksander for bringing joy, inspiration and meaning to his
life, reads the booklet. Tchort mentioned in an interview that "They had long
songs on their first album but on this one it's something else, more
mystical". Indeed it is. For many of you, this fellow from Norway is better
known for his work with Emperor amongst the bands he was involved with. A
wealth of musicians and vocalists were used to create a symphonic landscape.
Here you can hear synthesizer, sitar, saxophone, strings, female vocals,
children choir, opera choir... Starting with atmospheric keys and sounds,
clean guitar establishing a rich ambient decor. Great heavy riffs with clean
vocals continues on before a short but well done death metal with screaming
voices moving to a superb doom passage with walls of guitars and choirs.
You're gonna beg for more and you'll get it! Pleasant acoustic guitar with
pounding drums, string arrangements becoming a symphony on heavy rhythms. What
else? A tornado of doom metal filled with heavy guitars and great
musicianship. I think the best way to describe this album would be putting the
best of Pink Floyd, My Dying Bride and Sabbath together and spicing it with
great symphonic elements and choirs. Mr Tchort had the genius to create an
opus showing an outstanding composer being capable of putting together
different styles and sounds in a very coherent and aestethic
creation.
