Review

Light of Day, Day of Darkness is a high-concept album if there ever was one. Norwegian madman Tchort wrote an hour-long goth metal song and put aside his Blood Red Throne project to work with Green Carnation on the track. The results are very interesting, sounding very much like his former bandmates in Emperor jamming with My Dying Bride. What works for the piece is that Tchort manages to keep everything flowing together without too much difficulty. He has not exactly mastered the art of subtlety; in fact, many parts of the song just completely shift gears without warning. But what he lacks in composing transitions he makes up for with the surprising amount of variety on the disc. His songwriting skills are actually quite polished; comparing this album with his previous output only emphasizes that point more. Some parts of the track go on too long, but there is usually something about to happen that keeps the album listenable. Tchort's obvious dedication to this project really pays off; this is a solid album that may only be one song, but is an epic undertaking that works enough to keep forward-thinking metal fans happy. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

Light of Day, Day of Darkness is the second (one-track) studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band, Green Carnation. The album was composed, written and arranged by founding member Terje Vik Schei (a.k.a. Tchort). It was released by The End Records on 8 January, 2001. It is composed of a single 60-minute track. Also, the album was largely inspired by Tchort's son's birth.

Musically, Light of Day, Day of Darkness is pure progressive metal. In this album, the band combines many different instruments, not commonly used in metal, to create an original soundscape. It is said that 600 different samples were used in the editing of the song.[1] The album shows some death metal twinges from their roots with Kjetil Nordhus occasionally using death growls and Anders Kobro implementing occasional blast beats as well.
