I >recommend it. I totally agree that "Light of Day..." is a brilliant album. The first one, "Journey to the end of the night" is also good, but far from "Light of Day..." in terms of quality. However, the boys are recording a new album as we speak... visit http://www.heavymetal.no/ for studio diary! According to Kjetil (the singer) there'll also be a "Light of Day..." DVD...

Agreed -- it's really meant to be listened to as one long piece anyway, and it's a great CD overall. Easily in my Top 5 CDs of 2002; aside from Superior's Ultima Ratio it would probably top my list! > There are heavy parts > at times although no doom metal screaming like Green Carnation used to do > (I have heard), Actually there is a slight amount of (ahem) cookie-monster vox, but only a bit and it's short. Tchort's current extreme metal project is called Blood Red Throne and he tossed just a bit of extreme vox into LOD, DOD. :) > some really cool choir parts, great guitar work. I > recommend it.

It was a very complicated CD to record, with numerous guest performers and I think nearly 100 separate tracks to meld into the final cut. Green Carnation performed one show, at Wacken Open Air (I think), and for their one-hour set they performed LOD, DOD in its entirety. I'd happily kill for a bootleg. :) > There are several websites out there and at > least one I found before buying the CD had an mp3 that sealed the purchase. I recommend the US label, The End Records, as the best place to obtain the CD. http://www.theendrecords.com I have a copy in my car and it's especially great on long drives. -- +--- Paul W.
