Green Carnation Release New Video for “Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold”
Posted on May 28, 2026
More information about A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis
With Part II of their forthcoming album trilogy, Green Carnation have descended into the deepest, darkest and most personal depths of the prog metal band’s storied career. A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis has received an outpouring of praise from Blabbermouth, Loudwire and other major publications.
“A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis is a radically personal, unfiltered and moving album” Metal Hammer writes.
“[…]simply breathtaking for the band and the genre”, says Angry Metal Guy. “For those who need something in these trying times to bolster their spirits or tear them apart (if only for a moment to reset), Sanguis is here for you”.
Now, as they prepare to turn the page to the bold and resounding final chapter of A Dark Poem, today, Green Carnation are releasing a new video for the most raw and aching ballad from Part II. In a rare appearance, the band’s bassist and primary lyricist Stein Roger Sordal steps in front of the mic on “Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold” with hopes of reaching a long-lost friend.
“Obviously, this song is about loneliness, but more specifically, it’s about watching a very good and close friend gradually shut himself off from the rest of the world”, Sordal says. “It’s about sitting on the sidelines, watching it happen and not being able to do anything about it”.
Watch the video for “Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold” on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.

After reaching crushing new highs during its grand and gloomy opener, A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis reveals Green Carnation at their deepest, darkest and most vulnerable depths. Two decades have past since bassist and lyricist Stein Roger Sordal last took the lead on vocals, but he alone carries the burden of “Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold”. Accompanied by little more than a somber guitar melody that unwinds like the slow passage of time, he delivers one of the most chilling ballads that the prog bards have ever penned. “Do you want to die?” he asks a reclusive friend. That his voice doesn’t waver in posing the question confirms his fear of already knowing the answer.
“The songs on Part II come as they are, with no filter”, Sordal says. “I needed to set these stories free and let them out”.
The video for “Loneliness Untold, Loneliness Unfold” was directed and edited by Rikard Amodei.
