I totally agree that "Light of Day..." is a brilliant album. The first one,
"Journey to the end of the night" is also good, but far from "Light of
Day..." in terms of quality.
However, the boys are recording a new album as we speak... visit
http://www.heavymetal.no/ for studio diary!
According to Kjetil (the singer) there'll also be a "Light of Day..." DVD...
Cheers,
Oddvar

Agreed -- it's really meant to be listened to as one long piece anyway,
and it's a great CD overall. Easily in my Top 5 CDs of 2002; aside
from Superior's Ultima Ratio it would probably top my list!

Actually there is a slight amount of (ahem) cookie-monster vox, but only
a bit and it's short. Tchort's current extreme metal project is called
Blood Red Throne and he tossed just a bit of extreme vox into LOD, DOD.

It was a very complicated CD to record, with numerous guest performers
and I think nearly 100 separate tracks to meld into the final cut.
Green Carnation performed one show, at Wacken Open Air (I think), and
for their one-hour set they performed LOD, DOD in its entirety. I'd
happily kill for a bootleg. :)

I recommend the US label, The End Records, as the best place to obtain
the CD. http://www.theendrecords.com
I have a copy in my car and it's especially great on long drives.
