KARNIVOOL All It Takes Composer Reaction The Decomposer Lounge Heavy Metal Music Reactions 

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that the best part of Karnivool releasing this as a single means we're one step closer to getting another album from them. It's only been 8+ years.

You need to do New Day! It's another epic Karnivool track

Karnivool- the caudal lure Karnivool- simple boy Karnivool- New day Karnivool-eidolon Karnivool- fear of the sky Karnivool- synops

There is not a single more hauntingly beautiful sound on this earth than Ian Kenny's unfathomably stunning falsetto. That's what got me hooked on Vool when I was 12 (28 now) and only serves as a constant reminder as to why they give me chills on every single listen to this day when they bring everything together.

Listening to Karnivool again now reminds me of how free and fearless I was as a teenager. Now I have to be that brave again, but as a warrior mum. Different stage of existence. Good to remember that mentality and apply now. Adulthood can make you soft and boring. Tool and Karnivool new albums got me reliving my teenage years).

Wow! First time hearing this band! Quite impressive musicianship and production!

That smile when the bass kicks in 🤘

Perth, in the house.... whoooooo, let's go lads.

Karnivool sounds GREAT live too. If they ever come back to the states every fan should def try to see them. Singing and tones are top notch.

Between Jon and Steve the groove of this is insane.

I really love this tune. To me it sits perfectly between their previous albums: Sound Awake is incredible but often quite pretty and rhythmically "straight forward". Asymmetry is darker and more complicated but is far less easily digestible. Hoping for a full album sooner rather than later!

Seen these guys 9 times over the years. They never disappoint. So good 🇦🇺🖤🤘🏼

found this band about 2 weeks ago and really love them...such a powerful sound.. so good.

I fell in love with Karnivool when they were touring their first album supporting COG. They have been my absolute favourite ever since. There's no band like them. My fav song of all time is C.O.T.E. I remember seeing them one new years in Melbourne absolutely wiped out on disco biscuits and when they played C.O.T.E it was like 400 orgasms at the same time.

Yes!! This is such a banger, Karnivool just never disappoints

Would love to see you do Synops off Karnivool’s first album. Also Doors (Now and then my life feels like it’s going nowhere) by that other epic Australian prog metal band Cog. Both are slow building tracks that’s creep up your spine like a centipede before bursting into euphoric crescendos. Absolutely phenomenal.

that bass is killer live too. the live show just hjits you in the chest

My favorite band

Been waiting something from them and now i got a reaction too!, fucking awesome song, they know how to compose, the lyrics, the mix, everything is perfect!.

Forrester Savell did the production on this, he is always so on point I swear

I’m still here Geebz! Another great review. And all Karnivool fans are still waiting for a new album, over 8 years now! Let’s hope this year is the one. 🙏🏼

Meshuggah - I 30 min reaction but worth it..... One of the most complex metal songs ever recorded!

Great new song from them. Very Sound Awake vibes. Harkens back to Simple Boy.

Simple Boy and New Day are must Karnivool tracks

Thats definitely Ian Kenny’s amazing vocals doing that work there. Karnivool are the masters and I really recommend Deadman by them and also some Dead Letter Circus!

These guys have been one of my favorite bands for a while. I would love to hear a new album from them. Mahalo for highlighting this number.

So it must be coming up on 15 plus years. A friend of mine had recommended them, I'd heard them on commercial radio in Perth. I liked what I heard but I hadn't really been hooked in. Me and a bunch of mates went to the Big Day Out, a popular outdoor music festival in Australia at the time. One of our mates dragged us to the Karnivool stage. They were playing around 5pm on one of the smaller stages right in the back of the festival. The first song they payed was "Themata". I was standing there with a good mate of mine and we are both reasonable (if not good) amateur musicians. About a minute in to the set we looked at each other in astonishment. I've been a massive fan ever since.

Never heard this band before. Got to admit it was pretty sweet. Reminds me a bit of old Incubus. Thanks

Still the best band in the world.

absolutely AWESOME track!

john plays a 6-string bass usually at drop b tuning

Karnivool its the best on alternativ rock/metal. Who sed that? Me...

YESSSS! Just listening to this! 😂 That's Jon's signature is that unique heavy bass tone, he uses 6 string Warwick basses.

Got tickets to see Karnivool again, in a few weeks. As well as Plini, COG and bunch of other sick Aussie bands 🤟

Damn! Haven't listened to these guys since their Sound Awake days... this is awesome, so glad to hear they still go hard!

Jon is amazing 👏🏻

Still here! Killer track

Its so cool you did another Karnivool track so soon! As a drummer myself, I absolutely Adore the rhythmic escapades the guy behind the kit gets up to, as what he does beat/rhythmic loop wise is definitely something of his own, especially considering he usually plays without using the double pedal (with this particular song being quite the exception, which makes me excited for the future), and yet how Massive and Menacing his overall attack and precision is. However, the entire band are ridiculously masterful, which can be proven by observing how Tight their musicianship is overall. If you want to hear even more examples of them being at the frontier of _time_ then I would like to suggest you try something from their 2013 output Asymmetry, which is filled with material that to most ears might seem impenetrable due to how much they like to switch it up on that record. "A M WAR" is a fave of mine, as it actually has driven me to tears from how emotionally relatable it sounded to me one particular morning.

Nice, haven't figured out they released a new single yet, thanks Geebz! You might also love Thornhill, "Were we go when we die?".

Geebz, I’ve been watching you for quite some time now and as a musician I recognized that we both process music very similarly. There were many many songs that I would listen to over and over only to realize years later that there are these things called lyrics. Friends would ask me what I thought about the message and I literally couldn’t recall a single word lol. Thanks for helping me recognize that I’m not an anomaly or some kind of weirdo!! Please react to (Radiohead-There, There) ,from the Hail to the Thief album. It’s a brilliant piece of art!

I'm still here! And I'm once again going to try to get you to react to their song Alpha Omega (Ghost City Sessions)! It is just so. damn. good.

so glad you enjoyed this eingle of Karnivool's :] I was so pumped for this new song, and it's in my regular playlsit

1 yr passed still kicks my ass

Thanks for the breakdown! I really enjoyed it.

Yes, my favorite band! Sick song aswell

They've been playing this in concert since at least 2016, along with several others that will likely appear on the next album.

That bass is just 😩👌🏻

Can’t wait for this album great reaction mate

i love this song from the 1st time i saw it live. dig the guys reaction when the song kicks off. his smile said it all

Great example of what Australia has to offer in regards to rock. Would love to see you check out some The Butterfly Effect, another great Aussie band with a similar sound

What a fucking band!

Still here Geebz! Thanks for covering another banger from my most favourite local artist. If Perth has one blessing, it's this amazing group of artists. I recommend, with all my heart, their song New Day. I swear I had a borderline religious experience seeing this live. It will touch your soul. Happy new year and merry Christmas to you my friend.

Wow! Killer Track for all of the reasons mentioned! I have to mention to anyone in Tampa, St.Petersburg area, I am going to see Tool in February at Amalie Arena so any thumbs up from anyone else going to the show, much love! I seen them 20 years ago with Meshugga back home on Roanoke, VA for $45 on the floor! I paid double for nose bleed, but it's cool! Tickets are still available!

I'm still here mate 👍🔥. Once again thank you for doing Karnivool, I'm really lookin forward to this next album to come out and for your reactions. I have a bunch of songs of theirs I'd like you to hear, but at the moment the live version of their song Alpha Omega in Ghost City Studios is really amazing to me. Cheers mate.

I’d really like to see you do a Roquefort by karnivool cover, love your stuff man, I learn heaps from these videos, keep up the good work

I saw them live, play this song two weekends ago, and they are just that good.

tnx for this reaction. I discovered this track together with you. Please do their song "new day" as well. Actually any song from their two first albums would be ok. 😘

Still here:p thanks for the review

Great job as always geebz, love your enthusiasm and attention to speaking to listeners of all levels. Waiting with much love and agony for the return of fellow aussie proggers Caligulas Horse. Slow Viloence is a wonderful song but more like a single. Dream the Dead is a great middle ground before doing their biggest tracks like Graves, so really hoping we see Dream The Dead one day!

Awesome clip to check out if you like the bass tone is the “Goliath” instrumental play through. It’s an advert for the effect he uses, but it’s still a very cool demo video.

For few weeks now I am discovering again the Karnivool, it's breathtaking :) Thank for doing this song, love to hear your opinion & your body reactions the tempo changes. Other ausies band I found few months back is The Omnific. Ever heard of them? Greetings form Poland

Still here. Love this song. Thanks for reviewing jt

I'm still here Karnivool-Roquefort

New Day - Karnivool :)

Volbeat " Lonesome Rider" I love VOLBEAT

I'm still here!

Geebz do The Butterfly Effect beautiful mine another great Aussie band

Nice track. The overall sound reminds me a little of The Mars Volta. Rich the Ancient Metal Beast

Karnivool is best 🤙My most favourite band of all time. Love your reactions btw!

So happy with this tune

Converge - A Single Tear

Wow. Talk about return to form! 🤘

I love seeing you enjoying that groove :D

“Not dull like, Hey, fuckin A~~”

Meshuggah: Demiurge

Dat smile at 2:01……….. gotcha

Still here mate! 🤘

These guys are from my city. It's not lost on us how amazing they are, we always talk about them being the best band here and Tame Impala.

Thanks Geebz

Just discovered a band that I think you will find veeeery interesting! The band is called ARKA'N and is a metalband from Africa!! They are really cool and uses traditional instruments and african rythms! My favourites are probably "Warrior song" or "Tears of the dead"

Awwright another banger track and dope video Geebz! As always keep ignoring any smoldering comments, and enjoy the nice ones, so you too can be awwright lol. The more you get dopamine hits from making videos the more you'll keep wanting to make. We all know you have more of an itch to help others and it shows in the content, but although you can't be a goober to kids in need what you do here is still helpful to those that watch too. I know you don't get the same feedback to see how you're doing, but helping people is helping people regardless of how it's achieved.

Its the live @ brisbane performance of new day im talkin about just looked it up. Check it out its amazing

I'm still here.

Dude.....you've gotta check out 'Anarchy OK' by Cog. I recommended it to you. Very similar feel and drumming.

I’m still here. This track rocks. I’m not sure if I heard Karnivool before but I definitely need to check them out more. 😀

This song is really awesome! The production is amazing. Really strong comeback from Karnivool! Would be great if you could get back to Leprous at some point and/or check Dir En Grey - Vinushka

I'm still here

Still here. Cool song.

Aussie product love it. Northlane Citizen please

Still here Geebz. Gotta get some Cog into you Geebz . No other band like them, when they hit they hit hard. The Spine is one of my fave tracks of all time.

This song slaps! \m/

You know it's a good song when you make the stank face

Geebz face when his brain is trying to process the hihats In the beginning 🤌🏼

Porcupine Tree - The Start of Something Beautiful. Both studio and live versions.

Pleasse do Karnivool - Aeons, that's really interesting!

Please do Karnivool - Aeons !

It’s be amazing if you could do some ‘Caligula Horse’ or a track from their singer’s earlier band ‘Arcane’ called ‘Nightingale’s Weave’. I think you’d be impressed. They’re both Australian bands also.

I think you'd enjoy 'skymachine' from their asymmetry album. Don't think you've listened to any off that one yet either 👍

I'm still here, awwright!

Still Here. Love the Vool! You, like me, nerd out on bass. I'll say it again, check out Soften The Glare, 'March Of The Cephalopods'. Ryan Martinie is killer on the bass as you've heard in Mudvayne.
