Sound Awake is one of my favourite albums of all time :) together with 4 by Led Zepplin, the doors by the doors, Nevermind by Nirvana, Blue Moods by Miles Davis and Kid A by Radiohead :)
God damn it is so impressive that they can produce the same sounds and effects live, while also playing the riffs and music the same, while singing like a fucking maniac (in the good way) while sweating their asses off, while standing in front of thousands of people. HOLY SHIT CAKES THIS IS THE BEST BAND I'VE EVER HEARD !!!!! VOOLIGAN FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
saw these dudes last saturday, maybe 50 people in the club all rocking balls out. Should've been 10,000 the way they play. Got to meet them after and chat with Ian Kenny a bit.
Saw them at Jaxx in VA last night and they sound fantastic, but they have so many more fans in countries other than US. Just shows how musical taste in America blows.
@mickcoop91 lol u tool both passion pit and lily allen make good music. just cause they're more mainstream though, i guess they don't suit your indie sensibilities. can't be siding with the masses right? got to be seperate from the crowds? or maybe you only like rock. then in that case i feel sorry for you for being so close minded.
Man, these guys are awesome. Saw them last year supporting Skindred, looking forward to seeing them again at Sonisphere! And believe me, I will be singing along to this song
Fucking need more of this. I was at the Melbourne gig, it was fucking amazing. I really want to see them again, Ian Kenny has one amazing voice. They deserve way more popularity than they're given.
@JasonJudas Incubus? No! Mars Volta is more punk driven with a lot of spanish influence and transitional material to call themselves a progressive rock band. Incubus? Again, I don't see the influence! They're more of a reggae meets punk rock band like Red Hot Chilli Peppers. To me, Karnivool has a lot of Tool influence, that and a lot of the thematic material they use marks a turning point for progressive rock and rock in general.
Keep in mind I had only heard this song and was talking about this song when I posted.
Yeah I see the Tool influence, but it's not as big as the Volta. Listen to the drummer. Def Mastodon influence there too. I mentioned Incubus because of the vocal melodies and the straight(er) rock groove. I love Tool but they would never write a chorus hook like that. Tool is like an intricate tapestry. Karnivool is more like a wolf on an acid trip. They're both beautiful.
@JasonJudas Well said, man, well said. I can't agree more. You know, The Mars Volta are one of those bands I still haven't got around to listening to. They're right in front of me, but I haven't given them a go yet. I hear they're amazing, though, so I'll get around to it soon.
awesome. the reason this doesn't have many views is because it is the only legit recording of them live from the bdo and it is hard to find and not one of those dodgy mobile recordings. Anyway, best band in the world goin around at the moment. AMEN.
@skoottar AMEN to that! There are so many other bands like Porcupine Tree, Isis, Mastodon ect...getting the recognition that should really be going to Karnivool. Its direct and makes a point, like Tool. Sure, the creative thing was to use ool in their band name and spell it with a K, but I'd rather go to a Karnivool concert than listen bands that lull me into a state of R.E.M. sleep. I wasn't diggin the screaming from Isis, but that component is best suited for a band like Deftones.
Unfortunetly Channel V are a bunch of mainstream fucktards and only showed one song, thats why theres only one video. As appose to freaking Lily Allen who gets 10 songs shown.
Nah man, actually I spoke to Drew he said Open Dm and now that I look at the videos now, you can see Drew playing the 2nd fret meaning a E note, which is what the starting riff is. Also I've heard that in most songs off Sound Awake, Drew plays Open Dm (D A D F A D) while Hoss just plays normal. lol Genius.
@Vool5 Yeah I know, I saw your comment on a cover video. I made a tuning document for all the songs. All I need is Caudal Lure and Medicine Wears Off.
got be karinvools best bridge on any of their songs
