GREEN CARNATION Perform Entire 'Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness' Album At DAY OF THE EQUINOX

October 17, 2005

For the first time in three years, Norway's GREEN CARNATION played the entire one-track, 60+minute epic "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" to an enthusiastic crowd that gathered at this year's Day Of The Equinox festival on Friday October 14 in Toronto, Canada.

The seven-piece outfit played a full 80-minute set of material from their past album "Blessing in Disguise" (2003) and latest offering, "The Quiet Offspring", before launching into the massive undertaking of performing the critically acclaimed masterpiece from 2001.

"It was a special treat from us to the fans," said GREEN CARNATION singer Kjetil Nordhus about the playing of "Light of Day..." "We knew it would be a long set, and we came from so far away, so we knew this had to be a special night. And it was!"

Andreas Katsambas, owner of The End Records who was in attendance, commented, "I would like to thank all of the bands that came out and put on some great performances for the festival. Their unique styles made this a special event. And of course, it was great to see GREEN CARNATION play the two-hour set that included the entire 'Light of Day, Day of Darkness' album. Day of The Equinox was a real success and I hope to see this become an annual event that will grow with each year.'

GREEN CARNATION's founding member/guitarist Tchort offered these thought on Day Of The Equinox: "It was great to be a part of a great music festival, with a great lineup and a professional approach to running things. We were also amazed that fans traveled from as far as Japan and El Salvador to see us play. Aside from the foreign fans and those from Canada, many came up from Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Atlanta and Arizona. We had a great time in Toronto, Canada — it was great to take in some sightseeing and good times with our friends and fans."

Also on the bill at Day Of The Equinox were AGALLOCH, DECEASED, NOVEMBERS DOOM, UNEXPECT and WOODS OF YPRES.
