Additional notes
Green Carnation is both the predecessor and natural successor of In the Woods....
In February 2014, they announced they would be performing live again, starting with another Night Under the Dam on July 31st, 2014. In addition, they have been announced for ProgPower XVII 2016, performing on Saturday, September 10th, 2016.
The band name was conceived by Tchort, aged 16, for a Death metal band, after he read in a dictionary that "carnation" can also mean "flesh". Thus, Green Carnation was meant as "rotting flesh".
