The event will mark their return to the main hall at Kilden Performing Art Centre in the band’s hometown of Kristiansand, Norway, where they performed the triumphant last show in their comeback year in 2016, presenting their legendary album «Light of Day, Day of Darkness» to a sell-out crowd consisting of people from 14 different countries.
More about Green Carnation:
No matter how long or where the journey has taken them, Green Carnation have always sought to climb the highest mountains. While founded by Emperor's former bassist Tchort in the early '90s, the Norwegians quickly amassed a cult following while blazing their own trail through fields of symphonic doom, hard rock, acoustic plucking and progressive metal.
Had they never returned from hiatus during the mid-2000s, the band would've been remembered for completing one of the most ambitious individual epics in metal's vaunted archives. And yet, one mighty tale - or three, to be exact - continued to elude them. That is, until now. Two decades removed from its initial conception, Green Carnation have finally completed their masterpiece. A Dark Poem.
Preliminary quotes from reviews, A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia:
"... we could be witnessing one of the most ambitious and exciting progressive metal trilogies in a long time." (Metal Hammer, Spain)
"It is carefully crafted, emotionally resonant experience that speaks softly, but hits with stunning force.» (Metal Temple)
"A must-listen for anyone who values music at the highest artistic level.» (KVLT Magazine)
Green Carnation lineup:
Kjetil Nordhus – Vocals
Tchort – Guitar
Bjørn Harstad – Guitar
Stein Roger Sordal – Bass
Endre Kirkesola – Keyboards
Jonathan Alejandro Perez – Drums
+ guests, including Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra

Begivenheten markerer Green Carnations retur til Konsertsalen i Kilden teater og konserthus, hvor bandet gjorde sin store avslutningskonsert i deres comeback-år i 2016, hvor de fremførte deres legendariske album «Light of Day, Day of Darkness» i sin helhet, foran besøkende fra 14 ulike land i salen.
- Det går ut pressemeldinger internasjonalt om denne konserten i dag, og det er sannsynlig at det vil komme publikummere fra fjern og nær som vil oppleve dette sammen med oss. Det betyr mye for oss, sier Green Carnation-vokalist Kjetil Nordhus, og fortsetter:
- Dette vil bli et voldsomt klimaks i et på veldig mange måter overambisiøst musikalsk prosjekt, og det skal ekstremt mye til at vi vil være i stand til å gjøre dette igjen. Å kunne presentere denne konserten på hjemmebane, er så klart ekstra spesielt.
Bandet ønsker å informere tilreisende til Kristiansand om at hele helga vil bli fylt med en rekke arrangementer relatert til A Dark Poem. Mer informasjon om dette vil komme på et senere tidspunkt.
