Kristiansand, Norway (1993 – 2003)

In The Woods… was an avant-garde/progressive metal band from Kristiansand, Norway. They started out as a death metal band called Green Carnation, but with the departure of main composer/guitarist Tchort to the band Emperor, they started the project called In the Woods… releasing a demo in 1993, “The Isle of Men”, and a full-length album, “Heart of the Ages”, in 1995 (it is unknown if the uppercase “E” was a deliberate typographic error or not). This album was unique to the time since the band expanded the limits of their style into the soothing of keyboards and female vocals, combined with eerie distorted vocals and clean singing as well. The following, “Omnio”, is often regarded as their best album, featuring even more experimental music, 11 minute songs with more female vocals and reflective lyrics, together with magical instrumental overtures. The third album “Strange in Stereo” brought an enigmatic change in style, since music got far more depressive and changing.

By the year 1999, Tchort returned to Green Carnation, so In the Woods… released their last album “Three Times Seven on a Pilgrimage”, a compilation of three of their previous 7” featuring covers from Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane and King Crimson, together with some newly released and rebuilt songs (like the new version of Child of Universal Tongue). Since the beginning their lineup went through many changes, regularly consisting of X. Botteri, Jan Transit, C:M. Botteri and A. Kobro.

    @ClassyMusicSnob Off wiki for Speed_of_light --> "In 1983 the metre was defined as "the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1⁄299,792,458 of a second, fixing the value of the speed of light at 299,792,458 m/s by definition, as described below. Consequently, accurate measurements of the speed of light yield an accurate realization of the metre rather than an accurate value of c " So...1983 is 14 years before Omnio was released !! And if 299,792.458 km/s sounds difficult, they could approximate it to ~299,793 km/s, not 299 796 km/s ! The Periodic table is no comparison, because that's an upadating work in progress, whereas light-speed is a fixed constant. But I see what you mean.

    @Neue_regel_ if they aren't referring to Tachyons, just remember that Omnio was released in 1997;15 years ago. Technology has come a loooong way since then and scientific data is updated all the time because we have more advanced technology with more sensitive calibrations, updated and faster sensors, etc. Just look at how many times the periodic table is edited!
