Light of Day, Day of Darkness is a high-concept album if there ever was one. Norwegian madman Tchort wrote an hour-long goth metal song and put aside his Blood Red Throne project to work with Green Carnation on the track. The results are very interesting, sounding very much like his former bandmates in Emperor jamming with My Dying Bride.

Light of Day, Day of Darkness is the second (one-track) studio album by the Norwegianprogressive metal band, Green Carnation. The album was composed, written and arranged by founding member Terje Vik Schei (a.k.a. Tchort). It was released by Prophecy Productions on November 2001.[2] It is composed of a single 60-minute track and was largely inspired by the death of Tchort's daughter and dedicated to his son, Damien Aleksander, whose baby voice appears a few moments in the song. It is said that 600 different samples were used in the editing of the song.[3]
Musical style[edit]
Musically, Light of Day, Day of Darkness is pure progressive metal. In this album, the band combines many different instruments, not commonly used in metal, to create an original soundscape. The album shows some death metal twinges from their roots with Roger Rasmussen / Nattefrost drafted in to perform death growls and Anders Kobro implementing occasional blast beats as well.
