The album, entitled Bastards of Atlas, is now available on their website, www.greenevening.com. The band, who were recently featured on Metal Injection saw their previous release distributed by Krakenhaus Records & The End Records. Drummer Evan Madden issued the following statement:
The Green Evening Requiem album, Bastards of Atlas, is now available!
The track list is as follows:
1. A Poison Tree
2. Affliction
3. If Ever So
4. Severance
5. Atlantis in Winter
6. The Human Nebula
7. Bastards of Atlas
Recently, the decision was made to release the album for download only, on a "pay whatever you want" basis, in order to make the music immediately available and affordable for all. Visit www.greenevening. com to download. We are very happy to present you with Bastards of Atlas, the first full-length album by The Green Evening Requiem. We thank everyone for all the support that we've been shown, especially over this past year.
We are thrilled to finally have our first album finished and available! The recording process began with founding guitarist Joe Colasante leaving the band immediately after completing his guitar takes. The recording process ended with guitarist/keyboardist Joe Winiarksi leaving the band due to irreconcilable differences, thus forcing the remaining members to mix the album from scratch over a few short weeks. Between those two points, The Green Evening Requiem played a number of awesome shows with the likes of Amorphis, Enslaved, Samael, Virgin Black, Naglfar, Dark Funeral, Daath, Gwynbleidd, Syrrah, Mortal Decay, Dirt Worshipper, Bubonic Bear, and Sil Veth.
Over the past year, the current members of The Green Evening Requiem have also stayed active with other projects, including Woe, Woods of Ypres, Unrest, and Cloud Minder.
The follow up album, Decomposer, is currently being written by Madden, Madden, and Grigg. We are very proud of the new material so far, and we expect to have Decomposer out by the end of the summer. We are far into the writing process and the begining stages of demoing. Expect a few Decompser song demos to be posted this spring!

WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT THE GREEN EVENING REQUIEM:
"Storming with a ballsy but graceful air of Viking metal meshed with Americanized prog, thrash and even folk influences, The Green Evening Requiems melodic rock and black/death derivation is a near perfect meld of styles." -Metal Maniacs
With a nod to an assortment of influences including Opeth, Agalloch, Woods of Ypres, Vintersorg, and Aphotic, this Pennsylvania outfit brings out a lot of variety on this recording, quite a feat for what appears to be a very young group of musicians. In the end, this release is a perfect assembly of where TGER are musically and a snapshot of where they could go--the routes they could travel are plentiful. Unrestrained!
What do you get when you add one part stoner rock, one part death metal, another part doom metal and a smidgen of black metal? The Green Evening Requiem and one hell of a nine track demo! Taking all of the aforementioned genres and turning them squarely on their respective ears, The Green Evening Requiem paved their own path with this landmark piece of musicianship. E-Metal Space
If you like black metal, progressive black metal, progressive metal and can handle growling, you need to check these guys out. This album shows tremendous potential of things to come." Transcending the Mundane
