Green Carnation is a band from Kristiansand, Norway formed in 1990 that has created songs from both the progressive rock and progressive metal genres. Some also describe their music as art rock. Green Carnation's trend of music has continuously become less and less heavier after every release; from straight forward death metal, doom metal/progressive metal, to a more hard rock-sounding form of progressive rock and more recently, went as far as to releasing an entirely acoustic album Acoustic Verses.

"The Quiet Offspring" is the fourth full-length studio album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Green Carnation, released on February 22, 2005. In this recording, the band breaks away from their previous offerings. Although critically acclaimed and well accepted by fans, The Quiet Offspring has a more traditional rock sound and leaves behind much of the progressiveness and atmospheric feels of the band's previous albums, Light of Day, Day of Darkness and A Blessing in Disguise. Some listeners have criticized this transition, while others claim it would have been inconceivable to repeat the feat of the sixty-minute album.
