Green Carnation（绿色康乃馨）的音乐历程相当奇特。最初是在1990年，X-Botteri, Cristopher Botteri, Tchort 和 Anders Kobro.组建了乐队。91、92年间，乐队录制了一张死亡金属DEMO－《Hallucinations of Despair》，卖出400份。92年年底，Tchort离队参加了挪威黑暗金属巨头EMPEROR。主唱Richart Olsen也离队，乐队找到了新主唱，转变了音乐风格，更名为"In The Woods"…;…;
由于友谊和实现当年组建"Green Carnation"时的梦想，乐队成员决定重组乐队，改回名字，重回8年前的状态。1998年11月，乐队正式重组，只是更换了新鼓手Alf T Leangel。由于女儿的死，Tchort把所有精力投入到乐队首张专辑的创作中，所以死亡与怀念也就成了专辑中着重的主题。X-Botteri也参与了歌曲创作，帮助Tchort抒发异样迷茫的情绪。1999年7月，Green Carnation开始他们首张大碟－《Journey To The End Of The Night》的录制工作。地点是挪威Kristiansand的Jailhouse录音室。令人惊讶的是，乐队从头到尾共用了5个主音－Vibeke Stene, Atle D鸵um, Geir Sollid, Synne Soprana 和 Linn Solaas分别出现在不同的歌曲，以表现歌曲间氛围的迥异。5位主音在完全即兴的状态下完美的诠释了歌曲的人声部分。因为种种原因，专辑直到2000年10月才得以录制完成，由Prophecy Production发行.
Tchort已经走出了当年的阴影，继续创作了他们下一张专辑的歌曲，风格将更加体现原先的Green Carnation。专辑名字－《Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness》，将有1小时长度，融合更多的金属以及其他新元素。
乐队在03年发行的专辑A Blessing in Disguise,该专辑并没有象Light of Day, Day of Darkness那样广受好评，但我个人却很喜欢封面及内页插图和前两张相比，风格突变。有点神经质的孩子，在残冬的河岸边逐渐融化的冰块，依旧挂在松枝上欲坠未坠的冰花，以及透过远方大学覆盖的森林散发出来的暗淡的黄昏光线。。。整个专辑所有插图都企图传递给观者/听者难以明状的感受，似乎是孤寂，也似乎是等待新生的难以明状的渴望。Kjetil Nordhus似乎仍旧延续着对早夭幼儿的怀念。专辑里的Lullaby In Winter [冬日摇篮曲]是典型的金属世界里最柔情一面的体现。
细细聆听冬日摇篮曲，你是否会置身梦里最纯净的世界？在依旧白茫茫冰天雪地，早春的润物细无声已经悄悄的降临大地，你象慈母怀里的婴儿，随着摇篮曲安心的进入梦乡，或恬静地张开双眼，迎接曙光的轻拂和母亲的微笑。
Green Carnation was formed in 1990 in Norway by X-Botteri, Cristopher Botteri, Tchort, and Anders Kobro. They found singer Richart Olsen and began to play around their homeland. The band managed to release a demo before Tchort left to join black metal superstars Emperor; Olsen left soon after and the band decided to disband. The remaining members reformed as In the Woods... and went on to have a successful black metal career of their own, but by 1998 the original members decided to re-form the band with new drummer Alf T. Leangel. The debut release, mostly written by Tchort, finally made it to stores in late 2000. Although Tchort still managed to start the brutal thrash metal band Blood Red Throne between albums, by 2001 he was back in the studio recording Green Carnation's sophomore effort, Light of Day, Day of Darkness. A high concept project, the entire album was actually one song that lasted an hour, jumping between black metal, psychedelic rock, and goth metal.
