Second album of the trilogy on CD in deluxe Digipak with Pantone silver print with 16-page booklet.
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’s historic archives. However, there was one tale — or three, to be exact — that eluded them for more than three decades. Now, after reaching crushing new highs during its opening chapter, they’re descending into deeper, darker and more personal depths with part II of ‘A Dark Poem’.
If ‘The Shores of Melancholia’ set sail from a familiar place of melancholy, then ‘Sanguis’ opens with GREEN CARNATION far out at sea, fighting to stay afloat against the storm that’s raging in their minds. Over the course of nine minutes, the album’s 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 — only for a traumatic memory to come flooding back during its doomy coda. The newfound heaviness from the first part of ‘A Dark Poem’ continues to age like a fine wine, balancing sweet meaty riffs with an underlying bitterness. “I Am Time” 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.
“The end justifies the means, you’ll see”, Kjetil Nordhus sings with an eerily quiet confidence. As its final tale seeps beneath the moonlight, ‘Sanguis’ leaves fans hanging in suspense over where this trilogy will end.

Gladium Regis was born in the early 2000s as a collaboration between Arcanist Augur Svafnir and Salinoch. The duo recorded The Dark Stronghold (2003), an unreleased demo. Though never published, the demo songs and ideas carried forward and have been later reworked for Draugr (the Italian pagan black metal band which Svafnir co-founded and fronted in 2000s).
Even before Gladium Regis or Draugr, Svafnir had been experimenting with folky synth and dark electronic compositions, collected under the demo "Svafnir – Let the Ravens Come". Years later, those early sketches became the foundation for “Kingdom” (2020), a dungeon synth release created in London as an atmospheric backdrop for tabletop campaigns. “Kingdom” served as both a resurrection of the Gladium Regis banner as a solo dungeon synth act and a bridge between past experiments and future directions. “Kingdom” received some attention and has been released as CD and MC format.
Magnitudo is a three-piece project based in Bergamo, Italy. Drawing inspiration from the cornerstones of the post/sludge scene and fusing them with a more traditional metal framework, Magnitudo crafts a sonic
assault driven by super-massive riffs and a devastating rhythmic backbone.
Fourth album by Norwegian stalwarts Nifrost. Epic and melodic black metal in the vein of Windir, Borknagar and Enslaved. With "Briseld" Nifrost are back with a powerful, clean and epic sound reminiscent of the best epic moments of second wave black metal.
