Karnivool Appreciation Thread

[Variant]

I seriously don't get why these guys aren't huge. Or even partially successful here in the states. They have that perfect mix of musical talent, songwriting prowess, monster production, and accessibility.

the bolded part is why they are not popular. needs more nickelback voice as well.

I'd say Karnivool are notably better than, say, Tool (whom I like a good bit, particularly the more recent stuff) on the songwriting front, if a bit weaker on musicianship... and, well, Tool are huge...

Though, it might just be the voice thing though. I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened, but if you didn't sound like a guy with his jaw wired shut doing an impression of a country singer, you lost your shot at rock radio airplay.

I think that tool got their fanbase, well their radio rock fanbase, from their videos and seriously heavy mtv support. they are also one of those bands that can successfully right a song that both regular bros and meatheads and prog geeks can enjoy.

Just read a recent interview (Mixdown press) with Drew Goddard, and yes they are writing. Still in it's very early stages though.

He also stated in the same interview that he just recently acquired an AxeFx and is toying around with it. At this stage he confesses that he's more interested in the effects side over the amp modelling features, makes sense as he's a massive pedal junkie. But again, this is still the early stages.

If its anything like sound awake, we can expect it in 3-4 years

2 years have already passed since Sound Awake. And in addition to Birds of Tokyo and Floating Me, Drew was saying he may jam with some friends on drums... so yeah, probably.

I don't care if I wait 8 years before I see a new Karnivool album.

It's still going to be a Karnivool album.

This band is Hershey's Milk Chocolate to my ears.

 

[Espaul]

This band is to my ears like Hershey's Milk Chocolate is to my mouth.

That is totally a correction a 4th grader would give.

Take it a bit more lightly dude. I did it because I thought it was fun.
While it may be a correction a 4th grader makes, it is a correction a Norwegian like myself makes

 

[vampiregenocide]

I've always kinda liked these guys, but I've been getting into them again recently. Really good stuff.

 

[Shrikkanth]

Wow. Incredible... My pants are well jazzed.

 

[Reynolds666]

They put on a really amazing live show, got to see them in a rather small bar at my uni and they killed it.

For those who haven't heard what the new material is going to sound like:
