Green Carnation is a Norwegian progressive metal band from Kristiansand, formed in 1990. Throughout Green Carnation's initial run, their style of music had continuously changed on every release one by one; from straight forward death metal in their demo, to death-doom, then a progressive doom metal sound, to an atmospheric gothic metal sound, to a melancholic hard rock sound and in 2006, went as far as to releasing an entirely acoustic album Acoustic Verses. The band released its first album in 14 years titled Leaves of Yesteryear on May 8, 2020, which sealed their sound to their earlier gothic progressive metal roots. A new single was composed, arranged, rehearsed and they were went on to record “The World Without a View” during the COVID-19 pandemic, "The World Without a View" was released digitally on December 18, 2020. In 2024, the band recorded three albums simultaneously, working off a concept they had formed in the 2000s, with the first of the trio released in 2025.
