After years of showcasing their skills in the demanding world of prog rock on previous albums, Green Carnation takes a logical detour into their more sedate, mellow personality with 'The Acoustic Verses.’ With their songwriting stronger than ever, these lush and superbly performed songs will please not only committed fans but fans of prog and folk-rock (the quiet moments of Led Zeppelin come to mind). This very special Norwegian entity offers another important chapter in their fascinating career.
