  • Aussie Aussie Aussie! we got the best bands in the world :)

  • Is this how heaven sounds like??

  • @dreamlikestatus that's what i love about animals as leaders. there are no lyrics. so you can listen to it and develop your own feeling to the song haha.

  • We need an Aussie tour here in the states. I wanted to see Dead Letter Circus when they came, but they were with Animals as Leaders (they are very talented, but its all instrumental). I would have went had Dead Letter Circus been with Karnivool or Sleep Parade. I need some lyrics with MEANING, music open to INTERPRETATION.

  • Feel the GROOVE!

  • Wow, subliminal messages to the max. Fun.

  • is this metal?

  • @rubynl karnivool are more in the progressive/hard rock side of things, but there's definately metal influences here.

  • @Kerfuffleinahussle Ok thanks, that relieves me. I feared I actually liked a metal song.

  • @rubynl Haha :)

  • "This rocks". It's rare that we get say that these days with all the crap hip hop bullshit broadcast 24/7.

  • @daveinbrizzy fucking thank you. exactly what I've been thinking lately. I knew I wasn't the only one!

  • i wish perth had a rock-metal radio station.. i hav to put on a cd to listen 2 the music i like

  • Haha that guitar piece (the one right after the first chorus and midway through the verses) sounds like it ought to be in played on Disturbed's Believe album, doesn't it?

  • @TheDobligator Dont bring up that piece of shit band on a Karnivool video, that band has had more success than Karnivool with there mediocre song writing and they decide to stop because there not making enough money?Disturbed have never been a real band friend but at least your changing your tastes

  • @cancerbotX Disturbed may not be nearly as good as art rock bands, and their song writing is clearly inferior, but they were one of the first bands (after Linking Park, whose first two albums I still love) that introduced me to rock, and in Disturbed's case Nu Metal. They were my favorite band for quite some time (until I got into Tool) and I still love them as a simple but great band. Albums such as The Sickness are just nice to jam out to. Though they may not be the most intelligent of bands..

  • @cancerbotX ...(cont.) Though they may not be the most intelligent of bands, I still think it sounds pretty good. Also, they're awesome live.

  • @TheDobligator Um what? Have you listened to Sound Awake?

  • @kaiserwatson Yeah and I love it. I'm trying to find a good store to ship it and Themata to me online. I don't quite see your point though. Perhaps you're making an argument as to why Karnivool is better than Disturbed. I was under the impression that my last comment made it clear that I was of the same opinion.

  • Check us out, new track up! Influences from Tool, Alter Bridge, Karnivool, Mastodon, Dead letter Circus, HIM etc...

  • KICK ASS!

    

  • I love Karnivool

  • fuck, saw this band last night, holy shit, underated as.

  • aussies do it better :P

  • @CurlyDrummerBoy18 woop woop XD

    

  • Karnivool need more than they're getting - they're an amazing band with, IMO, the best vocalist around at the moment; incredible and varied guitar riffs and intimately complex songs.

  • I wish Karnivool were bigger than they were. Everyone my age (16) listens to the likes of A Day To Remember, Black Veil Brides, and all those shitty screamo bands that all sound the same.

  • I enjoy this.

    I enjoy this allot....

    Vool are perfect

  • Four people should suck a fuck.

  • @jellybablush

    How does one suck a fuck?

  • @triggy1 Suck on the shaft of the penis and vaginal lips as the penis is thrusting in and out.

  • @danstan66

    Take it you haven't seen donnie darko???

  • @triggy1 A couple years ago but I don't remember much of it.

  • where the fuck does that third arm come from at 2:17? xD cant believe ive only just noticed ^^

  • 2:17 third hands apear LOL

  • 2:18 hah. probably threw that in just to mess with people.

  • Fucking best band in the world. AMAZING live. Incredible songs alltogether. Karnivool deserve to be far, far bigger than they are.

  • my second favorite song.

    first is LifeLike.

    third is Themata

    thumbs up if you agree with this..

  • .... how the fuck does this sound like tool?!

  • @InvertedBomber There newest album has influences from tool, you should check it out. Also check out Moshcam dot com for a full live performance from Karnivool, you wont be disappointed.

  • @InvertedBomber He's referencing guitar parts with syncopation. It's very abnormal in popular music, Tool is the only band that really does any kind of syncopation that is popular.

  • retard face at 1:29

  • wtf? 2:17

  • Comment removed

  • wow, this song is fucking amazing

  • you gotta have a raw voice in a fun song, ian kelly has perfected it. love it

  • @1966boy Kelly?????

    

  • @jimmysando99 sorry, typo lol

  • My perfect idea of a concert. People jammin in a small place, making out, and women mud wrestling >:D

  • @TheFonzLovesMusic dude what if instead of mud, make it chocolate? then it would be perfect :)

  • just started to listen to these guys, yep, does it for me, i like the Porcupine Tree like musicality and breaks.. excellent...........

  • Listen to glicerina then may!

  • they do not sound like tool!!!!!

    cire is the band which sounds like tool on one album but they`re

    great too.

  • @stonebasse

    this one sounds like a poppier version of several parts of undertow...

    doesn't make them bad though

  • I just fell in love of this song, Karnivool rocks!

  • <3 this song. Pretty sure I want to make love to Ian Kenny!

  • I'm an American. Almost all of my favorite bands and musicians come from elsewhere, especially the UK, and now Australia. The main exception is Tool, god bless them. American popular music is almost all crap. Why is that? BTW, Karnivool sounds more like Porcupine Tree than Tool, but mainly Karnivool sounds like Karnivool. It's just because of the complex rhythms they all use.

  • they dont sound like tool stop bitching..theyre so sick

  • You can tell they have a big tool influence but they still have there own style...Karnivool is such an under rated band..

  • nah dont think i can here tool in it, but their fucken good

  • @SythOfDeath69er This is off Themata which doesn't really sound like them. Their next album Sound Awake though sounds totally like them (it's one of my favorite albums ever already).

  • any one else notice anything strange at 2 18?

  • @fivewinter yeah, 3 handed guitarist.. no wonder they are so good!

  • Everyone says Karnivool sound like Tool...I dont hear it one bit.

  • I just found this song on a friends Facebook page and I'm quite impressed. Catchy!

    People think they sound like Tool? Apart from some riffs being distorted and with interesting timing they're nothing alike! Tool would never play anything this poppy and catchy.

  • If you would be so kind as to check out my band, we'd really appreciate the feedback!

  • Freakin' EPIC vocals. He makes the fact that I can't sing hurt even more. Shame about the haircut though. Heh.

  • Great song!!!

  • Birds Of Tokyo sound better

  • @jhird4ever

    no way, love BOT but karnivool is f'n awesome. This cd has to be one of the best aussie releases of all time

  • @xr6turbo82

    Listening to a lot of Karnivool, TBE and Cog.

    Any other recommendations?

  • @esppsp

    Another aussie band, Dead Letter Circus. Check out there song "the mile" and "lines"

  • @esppsp Tool Tool Tool

  • @Darfaultner Discovered them back in 2006, Tool are amazing.

  • @esppsp Periphery, Animals As Leaders. 

  • @JDoemel Both good recos, have been following them for some time now. Any prog bands from Australia?

  • @jhird4ever

    Don't know if you do or not but birds and karn have the same singer birds is more radio stuff and karnivool is just amazing

  • This band is so awesome!

  • Im deeply into The Butterfly Effect and my friend told me about Karnivool... This is the definition of Rock.

  • i love singing along to this song!

  • i really needed to hear that song. that made me smile.

  • GWAN

  • this has a massive sevendust feel to it !! dead set of animosity

  • @MrANEASIERQUESTION Im a huge sevendust fans...which is probally why these guys are growing on me

  • @MrANEASIERQUESTION Im a huge sevendust fans...which is probally why these guys are growing on me

  • Man, all their songs have such a distinctive style.

    I'm from Scotland; if only we had a metal scene with such ball-busting riffs and awesome melodies. Don't forget how lucky you are, Aussies!

  • @Crosskeys thanks mate!!! we deffo appreciate it!! i was even talking about it the other day, how diverse the music culture is in Australia.......some Americans could take a leaf out of our book........too much hip hop, not enough REAL music!!!!! (please no haters....it's only my opinion, not hating on anyone) =D much love.

  • @Crosskeys Bullshit, this is all we got, the rest are bunch of emo shit like parkway drive, you guys in scotland have fuckin Alestorm! They kick serious ass!!

  • @Crosskeys LOL METAL!!!! This isn't metal buddy, this might qualify as hard rock. Its a good thing you're from scotland or i might think you to be mentally lacking.

  • @IRFullSpec Progressive metal buddy, sorry but your wrong. They have alternative rock songs but this is not one of them.

  • @IRFullSpec ...

  • @IRFullSpec padantic much???

  • @Crosskeys sorry to rain on your comment,but you do have alestorm, bleed from within and marillion-one of which are very good indeed:)

  • @Crosskeys Thanks, man. I try to make the most of by hitting as many gigs from these guys possible...

    There's rumors of Karnivool hitting overseas...I hope they're true...Just for your sake! ^^

  • @Crosskeys Thanks, man. I try to make the most of by hitting as many gigs from these guysas possible...

    There's rumors of Karnivool hitting overseas...I hope they're true...Just for your sake! ^^

  • @Crosskeys just think about all the amazing bands that came from Aus. AC/DC for example. im honestly not surprised that these guys are good lol

    a little "different" on the music videos, but im in love with the music

  • @yourmusicguru "different"? they are merely unique ^.^ lol but still ur right.

  • @vampire1o6 lol, i meant different from AC/DC. not tryin to pin that word on them, they fuckin rock! XD

  • @Crosskeys One word - Alestorm

  • @Crosskeys COME ON MAN YOU CANT GET MORE METAL THAN BAG PIPES!

  • @Crosskeys But you have the BIFF! MON THE BIFF!! :D Talk about ball busting riffs and awesome melodies!

  • @Crosskeys I was gonna say. You have Biffy Clyro, Mogwai and not so heavy but equally as good Frightened Rabbit. Scotland has surprised me with some of their bands. And also, who originated from Aberdeen? NIRVANA! So, Scotland has some ace bands up their sleeves.

    And also, on a separate note... Karnivool are immense. Seen them twice now, and can't wait to see them again! Their sound is that much better live. Stunning musicians.

  • @LewiSaunders Oh just to clear things up, Nirvana was from Aberdeen, Washington in the US... and I'm so jealous of you getting to see Karnivool haha.

  • @Crosskeys Ever hear of Fellsilent, Tesseract, Sikth and Monuments? Yeah, they are British.

  • @StylishStar88 And not to mention Ex-Fellsilent and now Founder of Monuments, John Browne, loves Karnivool a FUCKING LOT! :D

  • I love this song and i love Karnivool, for some reason I think the chorus sounds like the chorus in Because of you by Nickelback. Not that Nickelback come anywhere near Karnivool... Just think it sounds similar :)

  • Brilliant song, freaking love it. And on the Tool vs. situation that seems to be going on on comments, think they're different enough from one another not to need to be compared all the time, to be honest. I think both kick ass.

  • I wish bands like this got more respect,,, and this music can make it to the forfront again.... Music is so going downhill...

  • @bekim17 almost true, other than the strong fact music is about feeling and OPINION. although i do strongly favor more of 90s than new-age, a lot of it does sound like garbage, but you really do have to give some credibility for it, it wouldn't be there if NOBODY liked it.

  • @bekim17

    If music wasn't as shit as it is, Metal wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is. Its the perfect finger up to the industry.

  • when the bass comes in, it just pushes it over the edge. so sick!

  • Agreed-technically these guys are very impressive, very proud to have em from my city. This is my fav song of theirs easy.

  • I dont care this band is epic and i love everyone of their songs!

  • Seriously one of their greatest songs, this is an absolute must listen to when I am driving or when I am laying down just chillin out. Its absolutely amazing. Ian, Jon, and Drew all kick ass fuckin hard.

    and I agree with Pwishnia, both of these bands are EPIC and WICKED but are completely different.

  • @Apperson62490 Couldn't agree more bud

  • Why does everyone compare every band to Tool? Ya sure Tool is amazing, but literally every artist I listen to, they are comparing them to Tool, even when they are in two totally different genres.

  • @jordanm06111 i agree, it's impossible to compare anyone to TOOL!

  • Great band, very emotional and technically perfect. Although maybe their sound is not the most original in the world, I do love them for their great melodies the most. Plus Kenny's lyrics kick ass.

  • I've seen them live three times, but on their sound awake promotion tour man.. I have never felt that much energy in a crowd before. Karnivool never gets old, for years when I've sat down at my computer and open iTunes, my karnivool playlist takes and absolute pounding

  • They dont sound like tool u fuck scrub, what part of perth tingles your fairy floss usa nadz ?

  • Man I love their bass sound. It gives the music a sence of space because it's loud and the tone is really round, soft and low. In most rock bands the bass is subordinate. This is not the case here I think...

  • @jajajah86 You get a thumbs-up sir! Now if only someone could put out some decent Karnivool (and TBE, for that matter) tabs with accurate bass lines so I could try my hand at playing them! Bass is definitely an underrated instrument and one that is rarely used to its potential... but a lot of alt rock Aussie bands seem to be changing this trend.

    Also, good ear. I love the tone as well.

  • Ahahahahah i love the mad faces of Ian Kenny!

  • fuck yeah ...... go the vool ,,,,,,

  • saw them live a couple of weeks back. They are great live. The vocal has probably the most unique style of performing I have seen in a while.

  • the guy lying on the floor at the start and end is my english teacher.. haha

  • Yep, Karnivool were good until Sound Awake, which sounds fuckin homo compared to this masterpiece of metal.

  • @MoOsHw Sound Awake is brilliant, sorry dude. It's much more mature than Themata and based on your comment I'm assuming maturity isn't something you appreciate/understand.

  • @koehler1989 It has nuthin to do with maturity, I just enjoy Themata songs more caus of the heaviness and energy that it posses and that sound awake lacks in my opinion, u sound a lot more immature saying that to someone u dont know therefore u cant judge.

  • @MoOsHw How do I know that you're immature? 1. You stated that Sound Awake sounds "fucking homo" compared to Themata. 2. You're attempting to state that an album is bad. Music is not something that is "good" or "bad." Music is music.

    You are right, Themata is heavy and energetic. However, so is SA. SA has a much more mature style of heaviness and energy that doesn't just punch you in the face. Spend some time with SA and you will love it. Also, I'd recommend turning it up fucking LOUD.

  • @koehler1989 I haven't listened to either of the albums but music is good or bad...from the persons perspective therefore it is useless to argue about subjective opinions. Arguing about sometrhing and telling your opinion are different approaches to the same thing however I perefer the last one.

  • @koehler1989 I agree. Sound Awake is a classic case of 'put more in, get more out'. I preferred Themata to begin with, but find myself coming back more often to Sound Awake.

  • Another great band from my state West Aust and city of Perth . These guys are so raw and incredible...not bad for being only around for such a short time...

  • @elvenwishes such a short time are you kidding me after their ep came out (Persona) it took 5 years for them to release an album (Themata) and all most as long to release the next..

  • Karnivool played this for me :)

  • KARNIVOOL fucking needs to come to CANADA!!! TORONTO ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love how he sings "shell". =D

  • these guys would sound so damn heavy if they were using 8 string guitars....just my opinion. super good riffs anyways

  • This is the first Karnivool song I ever heard, the headline show last yr in Islington was brilliant - one of the best shows i've ever been to, I will definately be at the London show in March!

  • Yeah ofcourse, i just love Matts style and setup, hes got all the style of a punk drummer but his set up is bizarre.

  • polkhigh4touchdowns...do ya really need a guitar solo to appreciate music....???? get the fuck outta here...

  • Saw em at frankston...fucken maddest concert ever!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sunday 14th March = KARNIVOOL AT JOINERS, SOUTHAMPTON!!! cant bloody wait!!!

  • maybe i'm crazy but i didn't seee a guitar solo in this song, i checked 5 times????????????????am i missing something????????

  • @polkhigh4touchdowns that happens with music vids. sometimes they cut parts of the song to suit radio and tv programming.

  • @polkhigh4touchdowns

    2:04-2:19 is the guitar solo if I'm correct.

  • that isn't o solo, that is just a lead

  • @polkhigh4touchdowns Oh. xD I know nothing of guitar despite being able to play. xD

  • there is a guitar solo... just before the bridge.

  • choooooooon!

  • ur a fuckin choon

  • Hos looks hilarious with the whistle in his mouth

  • steve judd=insane...... although the guitar player recorded drums for this song. i met these guys when they played don hills in nyc this september. they were mad cool.

  • 2:18 hahahahaha

  • Brilliant. All I can say. The solo blew my mind...so much better than the mindless shred solos these days...

  • Oh, I live in Wisconsin. Go Packers

  • agreed. they need to come to wisconsin

  • Who Cares if they sound like TOOL. Its great music. I hope they do a show near me.

  • where do u live?

  • @frontBACH

    WTF SOMEONE IS BLAMING THEM FOR SOUNDING LIKE TOOL? WWHAT THE FUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!

    TOOL is one of the best bands ever! i want MOAR of those bands!

  • @frontBACH Tool are gay. Karnivool kick arse.

  • Karnivool were brilliant last night at their first UK headline show in Islington, London - i've been waiting to see them for a while.. I just hope they're not strangers to the UK in the future!

  • Your a douche

  • soooo goooood!

  • far these guys will be cool as at BDO 2010. they sound liek tool in this song

  • From Venezuela: Excellent, but after they come to Spain they will come to Vzla.... that's more than never... lol

  • From Spain: Awesome band, but think they'll never visit, lol

  • never know man, theyve just done england and US, theyre getting big, quickly. sold out a nationaly tour of Australia.

  • Bloody awsome song and band!, just bought their new album. its good two.

  • bits and pieces of the singing remind me of maynard james keenan

  • he and maynard sing totally different, can´t see the similarity

  • Seek the similarity in the approach, not in the result

  • i sorta can...to me they're more like polar opposites in voice (maynard being deeper) but in the passion and attack i think they're very similar

  • dude listen to the song deadman by karnivool if you dont tell me that 8:25 when it gets heavy that doesnt remind you of an epic part in any awesome tool song?

  • ahh.. the memories..

    what a day.. what a band

    1:33-1:36 i make out with a cat to the left

    thanks again guys
