In The Woods… were a dark, ambiental Avant garde metal band from Kristiansand, Norway. They started out as a Death Metal (progressive-doom metal after reformation, post-In The Woods…) 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 being 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 distroted 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 reflexive 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.
