I think i haven‘t been in love with a band as much as Karnivool. Since i discovered them during lockdown while alone in my room looking for new music, they‘ve been my most listened band every year since. Their music doesn‘t get old or boring. It‘s incredible. I still to this day discover new things in songs that i had not heard before. I can‘t wait for the new material but i don‘t want them to rush anything. I need that Karnivool magic, and rushing it won‘t get it there now after such a long time.
Well said. I’ve been listening to them for over 10 years and still go through phases of listening to their albums on repeat for weeks on end and still hear new things.
awesome comment man. i love karnivool so much and go through huge listening phases too. to me nothing will ever beat their album themata from the gut wrenching to high energy lyrics, the fucking brilliant instrumentals and the pure heart and soul that you can feel with every sound and every lyric.
Man, it's crazy to think it's been over 10 years since Asymmetry was released. It was a game-changing album in my life, and I am still waiting patiently for the next piece. Hope they tour the states in the future.
Love the Ian Kenny Deathstare you got from the moment you started talking crap, some people dont deserve 5 mins with bands of this calibre. cant wait for new album boys!
@@GuitarInteractive Its called publicity bud, 5 shit mins media is better than none, I mean its not like its not true,, look at him stare at you.. dickhead is as dickhead does,, and in your case, thats wasnt any clue or sympathy!! crack on
I love this band, but 11 years for an album is absurd - especially when the reason given is "we pick it up and put it down, it takes how long it takes." If you don't want to, just say that you'd rather just tour at this point.
They don't owe anything to us, and the music they're writing is far from simple. Let them cook, we've waited longer for Tool music, it's not a big deal. Songwriting is not like a simple day at work, it's a complex lifestyle that's near impossible if you're not in the right collective headspace, and with how complex their music is, it's gotta be insanely difficult to follow up previous works.
@@danebridges yeah, I'm familiar with songwriting, so I get that. Just seems too much to me, and maybe I just read it wrong as far as what they were saying on watching the video over again. I can't relate to the process taking that long, but yeah. Watched the clip again and I guess it is what it is. At least it'll be better than Fear Innoculum when it does come out 🤣
As Hoss said, they have all had a lot of other stuff going on, both with other projects and their personal lives. They no longer all live in Perth. Ian has BOT, who have put out a ton of music, so it’s not like he can’t get material out, but it’s vastly different music and probably a vastly different process. I’m happy to wait for them to make their magic happen, they don’t owe me shit.
Hoss is extremely busy tour managing tons of other bands (some way bigger than Karnivool) and is flying across the world 80% of the year (just last week he toured the US and went to Australia the same day for a new band). Jon became a dad a year ago and started his own little production company + does studio gigging and teaching. Steve does studio gigs and freelance stuff like bands on cruises and works full-time in transportation to pay the bills + teaches. Drew lives somewhere in rural outback way far away from Perth now. Ian has been busy with his way more lucrative and successful BoT band. You can consider them semi-retired tbh. They don't tour half as much as they used to, as well. It's not that the album is some magical masterpiece that they have been chaffing away at for 11 years it's more that they guys can manage to meet up at best a couple of times per year due to their schedules and living situations and most of these meetings are used up rehearsing for whatever tour they've got up-comming. It is what it is.
