In the Woods... is a Norwegian heavy metal band from Kristiansand, formed in 1992. The band released a total of four studio albums, three singles, one compilation album and one live album throughout its initial existence. The band was formed by previous members of the similar-styled band Green Carnation, and was disbanded from 2000 to 2014.
The band started out as a death metal band called Green Carnation, but with the main composer and guitarist Tchort leaving the band in favour of Emperor, the remaining members formed In the Woods... The band released a demo in 1993 called The Isle of Men, as well as a full-length album named Heart of the Ages in 1995. This album was unique at the time since the band expanded the limits of their black metal style into the soothing sound 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 the music got far more depressive and changing.
By 1999, Tchort returned to Green Carnation, inviting members from In the Woods... to play with them. In 2000, In the Woods... released the 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.
