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. This album was unique to the time since the band expanded the limits of their black metal 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.

This band is so good. I like how Ved Buens Ende and Arcturus are similar here, since I immediately thought of those two.

a_kobro wrote: last month A Woods... re-union is unfortunatly not likely to happen any time soon. And for the respect and friendship we still have for eachother so we do the smartest to leave things as it is. Everytime people ask me of this I also say that we never know what the future brings. In other words, a re-union for one or two shows for old time sake and a good cause playing through the caledonien hall setlist can be done without too much effort. But to do a new album and releasing new material will not happen, even though we had all the songs and arrangements ready for a new album when we decided to put the band to rest. (2 of the new songs can be heard Live at the caledonien hall album). I can admit that the Botteri brothers, oddvar a:m and myself are positive to finnish the album that didnt happen somehow someday. Time will show Cheers
