Green Carnation – A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex
The band have set themselves a very high bar to maintain. What will they take on next? Whatever it is, I’m sure it won’t be a disappointment. We wait with great expectations.
Albums

Pattern-Seeking Animals – Grimalkin
I wonder if they can keep this work rate up, six albums in practically as many years is some going. The challenge is keeping them diverse and interesting, which so far, they have. All aboard the Pattern-Seeking Animals express, next stop in about a year?
Kristoffer Gildenlöw – [Humanised]
This album is one of those that gets better with every play. There will be more from this man, of that I have no doubt and I will be on the lookout for it.
Hopsydian – A Graceful Sin EP
These early steps on what should be a very promising journey for the band firmly states their intent to succeed. It’s a relatively short glimpse into what this band is about and hopefully there will be more to come soon.
