Green Carnation are one of a kind in the world of progressive metal. Founded by ex-Emperor bassist Terje Vik Schei (aka Tchort) in 1990 and coming into bloom at the turn of the millennium, Green Carnation have since been associated with local peers In The Woods… with whom they also share members all along. In the eyes of many fans their crowning achievement was 2001's "Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness", a sixty minute long progressive metal masterpiece, putting the band, and the small Norwegian city of Kristiansand, on the map.
