Any info would be appreciated.

"The history of Green Carnation dates back to 1990, when they were formed by Tchort, Chris Botteri, X-Botteri, and Anders Kobro. Essentially a death metal band at that time, a demo was recorded in 1992, but the band essentially split up when Tchort was invited to join Emperor. The other three members regrouped and formed the nucleus of the avant-garde black metal band In The Woods .... Fast forward to 1998, with Tchort done with Emperor and In The Woods ... having run its course, Tchort and the Botteris regrouped and eventually the first album, Journey To The End Of The Night, inspired largely by the death of Tchort's daughter, was released in 1999, featuring several guest vocalists including Vibeke Stein of Tristania, Atle Dørum (Drawn), and Synne Soprana of In The Woods .... By 2001 the Botteri brothers had left the band, but founding member Anders Kobro returned, and a new Tchort-led lineup released the brilliant Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness later that year.

Musically, Green Carnation is hard to pin down. At the core of their music is doom metal, but without the ultra-heavy riffing and general depression that often accompanies that genre. Instead, the band relies on atmospherics and mood, creating an almost dreamy ambience as the guitars and vocals (of which there are many styles) play off each other. While both albums are excellent in their own right (and not wildly different in style), it's Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness where the band truly shines. Single-track albums are rarely attempted and fewer succeed (one good one from several years ago is Edge Of Sanity's Crimson), but Light Of Day is simply outstanding, an emotional journey, drifting from heaviness to lightness with ease, all the more impressive in that the listener is never left with the "will this song ever end?" feeling that one might expect from an hour-long opus. Green Carnation is unquestionably one of the best metal bands of the 21st century.

With album number three, A Blessing In Disguise, comes some controversy, as reviews have varied greatly, some feeling it a solid followup to Light Of Day and others turned off by a more straightforward, upbeat writing style. Though the core style from the past can still be heard, the mood is noticeably different, and the songs clearly more relaxed and somber, and less metallic in nature. A departure from Light Of Day to be sure, and maybe not in the same league as that masterpiece, but an interesting album on its own.

A new album, The Quiet Offspring, has now been released. Once again the band has opted to progress in new directions rather than rehash their past. More details will follow. "

Just to add, Tchort was also a member of Satyricon, and Einherjer and he is currently involved in Carpathian Forest and Blood Red Throne along with Green Carnation. Their first couple of albums were more in the doom metal genre with some prog, AOR prog, avant garde, and symphonic elements. After Light Of Day they became more avant-garde prog and less doomy but still great music. They just released an all acoustic EP.
