The Burden Is Mine... Alone is an EP by the Norwegian progressive metal band Green Carnation, released in October 2005 by Profound Lore Records.

Background

The EP would be an indicator of the stylistic shift the band planned for their next album, The Acoustic Verses . The EP and following album are very different from the usual dark mood that the band's older releases have.

This all out acoustic release has a lighter tone, and is a larger stylistic shift for the band. The EP also contains two tracks that were not included in the 2006 album, The Acoustic Verses.
