Not long now until Karnivool release their eagerly awaited new album, In Verses. In anticipation of the album’s arrival next Friday, the Perth icons have revealed their latest single, “Animation”, and announced a run of acoustic launch parties around the country during release week. To celebrate the arrival of their fourth album, Karnivool will hold intimate launch parties in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. The band will […]

As with everything Karnivool does, “Drone” is very much worth the wait. Lifted from the larger body of work that can finally be seen on horizon (not long now, we promise), “Drone” reminds us why the Perth prog rockers are without peer and patience is rewarded. “Drone’ is the sound of Karnivool entering a new era — a slow-cooked journey […]

After locking themselves away in a Perth studio for the better part of five months (third time’s the charm, apparently), Karnivool have resurfaced with purpose. Not that they’ll spell it out for you just yet.  What we can confirm is this: 13 shows. All around the country. New material, road-tested for the first time. Old material, bent into new shapes. And […]

Perth progressive rock titans Karnivool have bowed to demand, announcing the reissue of their celebrated back catalogue on sweet, sweet 180 gram vinyl. Originally pressed in 2015 and released online only, vinyl editions of Themata, Sound Awake and Asymmetry sold out instantly, throwing all three albums back into the ARIA Charts. With these limited copies now fetching top dollar on auction sites, the band have decided to give fans […]

Karnivool are happy to announce an intimate run of shows in the lead up to Unify Gathering, to help dust off the guitars, make sure all the pedals are working, and to kick out the jams as only Karnivool can! It’s been a murky few years in the world of Karnivool, with the band hunkered down with various projects whilst […]

“You know, for us it’s a very fun thing and we’re other people up there and because of what it is we get to live this other thing up there, this other animal that we can’t get anywhere else. Probably that’s what keeps us semi-sane I think.” From Release: It is well-known that Karnivool records take a long time to […]

Following a massively popular run of shows through Western Australia in April, heavy music monoliths KARNIVOOL will embark on a run of East Coast headline dates through June and July. These will be the band’s only headlining shows until their their much anticipated fourth LP is completed. This tour marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the ARIA Award winning, chart topping titans. It […]

“The idea mainly spawned from when we were away a lot over the last couple of years.  We always have to introduce ourselves and say here have a listen prior to going in and giving them sampler things and all that stuff. I don’t know, it kind of dawned on us that when you’re doing that sort of stuff how […]

Ten years is a long time. Two Olympic Games are held in that time, even three depending on when you start the count, and usually in a decade some bands come and go. That isn’t the case for Karnivool, a band still going strong to this day and here we are tonight celebrating a momentous occasion, a decade since their […]

“So it was a challenge and it was exciting but we knew we had something, we knew the sound was fresh so we were just excited. We weren’t kids but we were much younger back then and I think we just wanted to get it done real quick and get out there and present it to the world…” From release: […]

10 years ago an unknown band from Perth, Western Australia pooled their very limited resources and questionable facial hair, and got to work on their debut album. Recorded in various spaces, in various ways, with a slightly varying line-up, they borrowed gear, they borrowed money, they borrowed space and they used some tunings that perhaps haven’t been heard again. The […]

“…we just kind of told ourselves that we’re going to do this with or without a label, so we kind of stopped caring about getting signed. Then when it happened and we saw the amount of power that it had and to have this team of people and capital behind you, it just fanned that flame that’s always been inside […]

On Sunday December 1st KARNIVOOL won their first ever ARIA Award taking out the gong for Best Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Album for their current release and third album ‘Asymmetry’ which was also their first ever number one debut on the ARIA album charts. As announced in October KARNIVOOL and good mates Dead Letter Circus will hit the road on […]

Some pairings just make sense: Summer and Beer. Chocolate and Banana. Hall and Oates. Rock and Roll, you just don’t need to even think about whether it’s right or not. Here at Karnivool HQ we are pleased to announce what is surely to be one of the tours of the summer, and will make the fans of both bands more […]

“There’s definitely a lot going on, so it’s hard to sort of capture exactly everything that we wanted to in a first listen. I think that’s where it comes from writing it over such a long time as well, you know songs do get quite complicated in terms of the textures and how much is actually present in a song…” […]

KARNIVOOL’S live show is one which has received the respect of their peers and the loyalty of their fans all over the world, so it would be beyond remiss of the band to release a new record without giving those songs the chance to breathe, morph and thunder as they should in the live arena. The “Asymmetry” tour starts in […]
