While the name Green Carnation does seem to fit well with the band's current direction, it struck me as a rather odd choice for the band given that it was selected in 1990 during the band's original incarnation as an out-and-out death metal group.

It makes me feel very privileged because Green Carnation is very fortunated to have the blessing from both its fans and media, and it also allow me to think freely about experimenting and trying new stuff with the band, because it all is so very well accepted.
I think its important to me to keep the distance between the bands I am involved with and going in a progressive style is very far from what I am doing with Blood Red Throne or Carpathian Forest, because it makes no sense to me to have 2-3 bands playing almost the same thing.

 Blistering.com Review: Green Carnation - The Quiet Offspring   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Led by the ubiquitous Tchort (also of Blood Red Throne and Carpathian Forest), Green Carnation has churned out a far more comfortable and accessible album than 2003’s A Blessing In Disguise.
With better songs and arrangements, combined with a greater emphasis on immediacy, The Quite Offspring almost betters 2002’s Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness, but still resonates as a stellar display of AOR metal, if there is such a thing.
By association, Green Carnation will forever fly under our metal banner as long as Tchort stays associated with his other projects and continues to release albums with The End.
