Karnivool

Karnivool is a progressive rock band from Perth, Western Australia, known for their intricate compositions, dynamic live performances, and genre-blending sound. Originally emerging in the late 1990s as a nu-metal-influenced outfit, the band evolved into a more expansive and experimental force in the 2000s. Their debut album, Themata (2005), introduced fans to their atmospheric yet heavy sound, while their follow-up, Sound Awake (2009), pushed the boundaries further with complex rhythms and soaring melodies.

Led by vocalist Ian Kenny—who also fronts the alternative rock band Birds of Tokyo—Karnivool has built a reputation for meticulous musicianship and introspective lyricism. Their third album, Asymmetry (2013), took a rawer, more experimental turn, cementing their place in the progressive rock scene both in Australia and internationally. After a period of relative quiet, they returned with new singles such as "All It Takes," "Animation," and "IN VERSES," signaling a long-awaited new chapter for fans.
