Karnivool Appreciation Thread

Pretty cool band. Kind of a mix of Ra and Tool among others.

I like it. Vocals kinda remind me of Lacuna Coil.

I just saw these guys open for Ankla, Skindred, and Nonpoint; and they kicked fucking ass. There's a lotta dimension to their work and I think that it's work taking a look at.

The real money comes at 2:52/3:02



Also, I got to see that Ankla LACS RG7 and zomg, I almost shit myself. The pictures I've seen of it *on here mostly* didn't do it any justice. That thing was beautiful.

This band is fairly popular here in Australia. I thought the re-recorded "Roquefort" single with the brass section was kinda cool, but generally speaking I'm not a fan. Here are a couple of more popular Aussie bands in that vein that you'd probably enjoy:


Cog - "My Enemy" from the album The New Normal


The Butterfly Effect - "A New Descent" from the album Imago

Enjoy

Cool. Thanks for the info!

Karnivool were not widely known in Australia until Reigan Derry performed their song Themata (the same song posted above) on Australian Idol. The judges ripped her to pieces for picking such an obscure song and she was voted out as a result.


The upside to it was that Karnivool got their song out to about 1 million people that may have never heard of them otherwise.

 

[Zepp88]

Wow, how can you penalize somebody for not wanting to sing a super-hit?

Did she do a good job singing it?

About Karnivool, our drummer got into them a little bit, cool stuff from what I've heard.

 

[El Caco]

You can listen to it in my post, while it wasn't terrible I still cringe at the last note. It was better than the contestants that made it through.

 

[Zepp88]

At work vids dont' work here

 

[Apophis]

Nice, thanks for info

Anyone familiar w/ these guys? I stumbled onto them about a year ago and really dig them. Listening to a few tunes it sounds as though the guitarist could be using a seven? Anyone ever caught this band live?

Questions questions questions......

Hey man, ,Karnivool kick ass! I have Themata, and i used to listen to it ALL the time, but not so much now...Yeah, they tune the bottom 3 strings of their sixes to 7 tuning anyway, so they need sevens. Anyway their music always pleases me with the ever so slight tinges of meshuggah, while still being um...conventional...

 

[auxioluck]

I heard Karnivool sometime last year, and they are pretty sweet. Not my usual cup of tea, but I do really dig them.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

I remember the first song I heard was Fade back in 2003. It blew me away so much that I've been following them since the Persona album. That and Themata rules of course. Saw them open for Cog at the Northcote Social Club... what a perfect gig that was.

And now the release to their followup to Themata is imminent.


On a side note, singer Ian Kenny's also got Birds of Tokyo. More pop rock style but it's still his signature soaring vocals.

Yes I'm loving the Australian music scene very much.

 

[dooredge]

Yes, Themata is such a friggin' good album. It's NOM NOM good!

 

[sol niger 333]

These guys are really unique and original players/songwriters. Bass tone is just monsterous and the drums and guitars are perfect. This is my idea of killer production

 

[DaRKoN_]

I've been waiting forever for a followup from these guys.... First album was pure brilliance.

 

[MickD7]

I've been waiting forever for a followup from these guys.... First album was pure brilliance.

yeah the first album was brilliant, the new one i believe is now up on their myspace page. Ive been a fan of these guys since i got their ep persona they are good musicians and players

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

The countdown is almost over.

This is the album I've been waiting for all year.
