The Profile

Green Carnation is a Norwegian progressive metal band known for stylistic shifts across doom, gothic, prog, heavy rock, and acoustic settings. After five varied albums (2000–2006), they returned with Leaves of Yesteryear (2020) and launched the A Dark Poem trilogy in 2025.

Formed in Norway by Terje Vik Schei (Tchort). The band is widely recognized for the 60-minute single-track album Light of Day, Day of Darkness (2001) and for frequent stylistic changes across their discography.

DeBaser’s reviews chart Green Carnation’s shapeshifting path: the 60-minute suite Light of Day, Day of Darkness, the heavier hooks of The Quiet Offspring, and the acoustic elegance of Acoustic Verses. Leaves of Yesteryear marks a strong 2020 return, albeit with significant reworks and a cover. The 2025 A Dark Poem, Pt. I kicks off a trilogy with solid sound but mixed enthusiasm for its linear songwriting.
