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.

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![]()
This band is to my ears like Hershey's Milk Chocolate is to my mouth.
Fix'd
I'm really looking forward to whatever they releases in the future
And hopefully they show some of it in good time before album release!
For those who haven't heard what the new material is going to sound like:
