[[Green Carnation]] is a progressive rock or "art rock" band from Kristiansand, Norway. Formed in 1990 by former [[Emperor]] bass player Terje Vik Schei (a.k.a. Tchort), before Tchort joined Emperor. [[Green Carnation]] didn't record their first album, ''Journey to the End of the Night'', a folk-inspired doom metal album, until 1999. Their music became less and less heavy as time went on, starting out as plain doom metal and death metal, and gradually becoming lighter and more like progressive rock. In 2006, they released ''Acoustic Verses'', an entirely acoustic album.

{{creatortropes}}
== This band may exhibit the following tropes: ==
* [[Bilingual Bonus]] - "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" begins with a child speaking in Norwegian.
* [[Epic Rocking]] - Their song "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" is one of the best examples of this trope, clocking in at an impressive 60:06. Yes, it's a ''single track'', and it makes up the entirety of the album from which it comes. What's even more impressive is that they sometimes perform the song in its entirety during live shows.
* [[Fake Ending]] - The above-mentioned "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" fades out into silence around halfway through the song, making you think it's all over - and then the singing fades back in again...
* [[I Am the Band]] - Tchort is the only current member of the band.
* [[Shout -Out]] - "Light of Day, Day of Darkness," a 60 minute long progressive opus, contains a reference to "the edge of sanity." Edge of Sanity had previously released their own 40 minute long prog opus, "Crimson."
* [[SopranoandSoprano and Gravel]] - There are both deep, growly voices and high, female soprano voices in "Light of Day, Day of Darkness", though they don't actually duet with each other.
