Gothic Metal

The Quiet Offspring
''The Quiet Offspring'' is the fourth full-length studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Green Carnation. It was released on 22 February 2005. Background In this recording, the band breaks away from their previous offerings. Although critically acclaimed and well accepted by fans, ''The Quiet Offspring'' has a more traditional rock sound and leaves behind much of the progressiveness and atmospheric feels of the band's previous albums, ''Light of Day, Day of Darkness'' and ''A Blessing in Disguise''. Some listeners have criticized this transition, while others claim it would have been inconceivable to repeat the feat of the sixty-minute album. Track listing # "The Quiet Offspring" – 4:05 (Sordal) # "Between the Gentle Small and the Standing Tall" – 4:15 (Tchort, Sordal) # "Just When You Think It's Safe" – 5:18 (Tchort) # "A Place for Me" – 5:26 (Krumins) # "The Everlasting Moment" – 5:09 (Sordal) # "Purple Door, Pitch Black" – 4:12 (Sordal) # "Childsp ...

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
