GREEN CARNATION Prepare For U.K. Tour

May 13, 2005

GREEN CARNATION, the Norwegian band featuring Tchort (a.k.a. Terje Vik Schei, BLOOD RED THRONE, ex-EMPEROR, SATYRICON, EINHERJER),have confirmed a mini-tour of the U.K. and Ireland in mid-June, and are currently working hard on a new live set for the gigs. Without telling too much about it, singer Kjetil Nordhus reveals that there are a couple of new ideas the band is trying to put into their live setting.

"It's kind of hard to explain, but we are trying to improve every single bit of our performance," he said. "For us it's important that both musically, visually and sound-wise a GREEN CARNATION gig shall always be a great experience, and although we have always had great response for our live-shows, there are many things to work with. Also, we have been thinking hard about which songs to include. We have released four albums now, and it's getting harder to compose a live set. We've had to 'kill some darlings,' but I feel now we have the best live set to date, and we are looking forward to sharing this with the crowds in U.K. and Ireland. For us, this will be a good way of trying out different stuff before the big festival gigs later this year, at ProgPower Europe in Holland and at the Day of the Equinox in Toronto.

"The rehearsing on the new set-list has been halted for some weeks, as bass player Stein Roger Sordal has traveled to the south of Spain to marry his Hildegunn."
