Green Carnation is a progressive rock or "art rock" band from Kristiansand, Norway. Formed in 1990 by former Music/{{Emperor}} bass player Terje Vik Schei (a.k.a. Tchort), before Tchort joined Emperor. GreenCarnation 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.
