2 people are fly enthusiasts...

[numetalgirl]

These guys are something else!! Woah, awesome stuff, really awesome!

[vicothesico]

Ian Kenny is a god amongst men

[AHopeForHumanity]

I would have to say Karnivool is honestly one of the best/original bands of this time. And Sound Awake is so much deeper than their other albums. But I'm honestly glad that these guys haven't entered the mainstream, because an amazing band like this has wayyyy too much talent to become one of those overrated bands that people eventually get sick of. Really, I think these guys are at a pretty stable position in terms of popularity. This ladies and gentlemen is music at it's best.

[1230hagen]

You know a band is amazing when their video has zero dislikes.

[SaturnTwinCam]

@1230hagen

I'm tempted to hit dislike...you know just to be different...like Karnivool! :p

[1230hagen]

@SaturnTwinCam I just disliked it because I wanted to be the first haha

[naccienac]

@SaturnTwinCam If you like something, just press the damn like button, and don't press dislike because you want to be a fucking hipster who wants to be different :/

[TheMicahman99]

Steve Judd in this song is just. Unbelievable, well done guys.

[JarnackJaco]

Excelente!!!.... Muy buena rola!

[deadlysaxmachine]

fuckin pure genious

[barabcina83]

HELL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

[g613044]

That drummer is fuckin' insane. And, this band is still under-rated?

WOW.

[lkaruga]

@g613044 I know right. Too underrated... this is how music should be... ORIGINAL >.>

[parrotneck]

awsome domma who

[frankieicory]

the illuminatis will be destroyed! It's nice to know you'r with us!

[sicrvat]

the most amasing song of the modern rock new era

[mushi73]

I just saw these guys a couple weeks ago in Seattle and they sound even better live!

No joke, they take all of what you see in this video (the vibe, energy, spot-on playing) and more with them to the stage. If you get the chance to check 'em out, do it!

[00Ibanezist00]

@mushi73 I have seen them 3 times live (advantage of living in Australia :-), and every time has been a fanastic experience!

[Kazpdrewt]

@mushi73 They are really probably up there with the best live! So glad you guys are enjoying over there in the states!

[Jasperzeszeszes]

Great song, great band, In my opinion.

[DannizTommoJr]

even though this is not my type of music, This band sounds pretty good!!!

[2009CHOC]

This band's the F@*kin bomb. Love this shit....

[rodneys63]

i met ian kenny at adelaide airport he's and awsome guy

[gabmezza]

this is the first time i hear this song.. and im telling you.. im hooked..

its taken me a while to find a band that sticks in my head for a while. but i think you guys just did it for me!!!

[ramses86]

I could quit drinking coffee...Forever!

As long as I play this song first thing in the morning, I'd be up all F*ing day!!

[JLReaper17]

saw them live and am now hooked hope they come to the US again soon T.T

[papapetad]

Excellent. Just heard about them today from a friend telling me I'd like their music because I'm a big fan of Tool, and I'm not disappointed. As a bonus they expose the same bullshit being fed to us by country leaders (political, religious, corporate etc...) which is good to see. I hope people stop worshipping the music and start standing up for their rights, in the words of Bob Marley the Great haha... It's high time we stop being treated as sheep. Go Carnivool!

[rangasteel]

They are appreciated, but by the right people. Don't let the radio get hold of them!!!!!

[Kazpdrewt]

@rangasteel True that! They don't need to be ruined by all these teeny bopper dip shits that only listen to it because its popular not for how great the music is. Thats saved for Birds of Tokyo

[xfighterfan]

@Kazpdrewt no way man, birds or tokyo was invented to get these guys the attention they deserve, this is not the type of band you like because they are popular, its too powerful

[Doogsay]

Sadly, a band as heavy as this will never make it mainstream in AUS, dito The Butterfly Effect. These are surely our two best modern rock exports of the last 10 years. Silverchair was our most successful heavy rock at of the last 20 years but had a much more radio friendly sound. In the US however the size and diversity of the market allows the 'mainstream' to be much a broader class. I fully expect the 'vool to be more appreciated over time in the US than here : (.

[M4strn00b]

for some reason this song speaks about jihad. lol. have a look at it, deadset.

[slim8791]

Glad I discovered this band. Love their sound!

[dano555666]

The reason this band isn't well known is this:

They oppose "The Great Triangle Club" most commonly referred to as the illuminated ones, the Hidden empire. Politicians and their evil sect.

They set fire to their own hive (the burning of rome, 911, financial meltdown)to rebuild the system again in a new fashion. Totalitarian rulers trying to finish and cap their pyramid.

They create fear and scarcity to make us fight with one another.

Basically, this song is a direct call to action.

[gsdbeats]

the metal band born of osiris got me into this band....i had never heard of them, there all about this band!!

[Veredika]

@gsdbeats lol! I was just watching this and saw your comment. Karn is so good!f I want to hear a karn+TDTE collab

[gsdbeats]

@Veredika yeah dude there sick, ive been rockin that album alot.......them and danza you say huh..?? that would be some crazy shit for sure.

[idrinkmyownpizzle]

is that hair all over his body real? awesome band!

[uuummmscruff]

they sound a lot like tool...I LOVE IT!! 8)  its all in the feeeelll...

[JackSmith07]

I have never heard a band that was this close to being good.

[ViciousGuitarist]

this song just gets better every time you hear it, the intricacies of the drums, guitar and drums are fucking awesome

[31rS3RP3N7]

this is themata number 2.

[31rS3RP3N7]

omg CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY THIS BAND IS SO RARE TO THE MAJORITY / MAINSTREAM? i just don't get it. thet deserve so much more appreciation.

[Communityaccount]

@31rS3RP3N7 Because this album took ages to get released stateside. They're poorly promoted label music. it's what happens. Sorta like how Butterfly Boucher finished an album ages ago, but her label won't let her release it. It doesn't help anyone, but they still do dumb shit like this.

[SamuraiSux]

@31rS3RP3N7 because they r from perth, australia

[Weiss]

@31rS3RP3N7 do u really want such a "treasure" to be mutilated by hundreds of musically "dumb" people, who usually favor the charts and what not?

[777static777]

@31rS3RP3N7 It's because mainstream society has shocking taste in music. I'm not saying this as a fan of this type of music (even though I AM a fan), but as a musician. Write a song with ZERO evidence of musical talent and you're bound to become a one-hit-wonder!

[Trasavon]

@31rS3RP3N7

Probably cause they're from Australia

[gnrsamboy]

@31rS3RP3N7 maybe cos they suck. but then again everything in the mainstream now days sucks so it is a mystery indeed :/

[Trasavon]

@gnrsamboy Go fuck yourself

[gnrsamboy]

@Trasavon great touch with the swearing there trasavon. must be happy with yourself bringin out the big F word on a youtube vid lol

[davidoff013]

@31rS3RP3N7 The majority of people find it hard to listen to music that isn't played in 4/4 ;-)

[gabmezza]

@31rS3RP3N7 hasnt all the best stuff been underground.. id rather leave it like that..

Look at Pink floyd.. Tool.. they were considered undergroumd.. and i reckon they fucken rock!!

[Noyce547]

@31rS3RP3N7 Because there is no room for Rock bands of any form in mainstream (wrongly). It is full of pop crap which is simply put out to make money, there is no genuine talent within the music. There are too many douchébags in the world who don't appreciate good music!

[NewOrleans51234]

@Noyce547 there is no room for real rock bands with actual talent

[Kaiza20]

@31rS3RP3N7 Because if they do it'll ruin them.

[31rS3RP3N7]

@Kaiza20 .... thats heroic.

[Kaiza20]

@31rS3RP3N7 Remember what happened to Muse?

Yeah, I just don't want that happening to one of my favourite Australian bands

[bryan350z]

@31rS3RP3N7 it doesnt matter.. their music is available to everyone to listen. Idk why people think that musicians need overexposure.

[dosrockerthebest]

@31rS3RP3N7 Cause Mainstream audiences are (in general) retards. Bullet For My Valentine have just struck in with them though, so maybe there is hope...

[Kazpdrewt]

@dosrockerthebest Bullet for my valetine are fucking gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Karnivool shits all over them

[corporaldog1]

@31rS3RP3N7 They played on SeriusXM Octane, How much more mainstream would you like them to be?

[31rS3RP3N7]

@corporaldog1

yeah, that was quite recently, my comments 10 months old man, but thx for the good news.

[thesouljunkie]

@31rS3RP3N7 Because they're good

[boonskety]

@31rS3RP3N7 They're too talented to be popular with anything mainstream man. It's sad but unfortunately thats how things go. The innovative bands are the ones who get shafted.

[lukegoerzen]

i feel like theyve just lost all their origionality

[froggerchanovsky]

@lukegoerzen How exactly?

[lukegoerzen]

@froggerchanovsky well if you listen to the persona EP or thermata they were writing stuff that at least to me sounded like no other group i knew. but the moment i heard sound awake the became just another hard rock band with the exception of a song or two. i dunno just an opinion. besides that i hope they dont take to long releasing another album because i still love their music none the less

[ibeatwow]

@lukegoerzen another hard rock band? fucking moron..

[lukegoerzen]

@ibeatwow lol ohh! bit touchy now arnt yah. haha just an opinion im not try to convince you.

[froggerchanovsky]

@lukegoerzen I much prefer Sound Awake. Themata sounded like a bunch of songs thrown together and put on a CD, whereas Sound Awake flows better as an album, as the songs blend into one body of work rather than one individual song after the other. I also like that they've ditched conventional song structure - the songs take so many unexpected and interesting twists and turns, yet it sounds completely cohesive - whereas a lot of progressive rock seems somewhat forced in that regard.

[lukegoerzen]

@froggerchanovsky yeah i guess id agree with you there. i dunno im no music critic. perhaps its just personal preferance.

[lukegoerzen]

@froggerchanovsky actually... now that you mention it that may have been what i didnt like. its sense of flow i mean. at the same time that theyve all got their own distinct sound i found listening to the album they all just blurred together and didnt grab your attention. where as themata had the differentiation between songs but it made each of them sound new and original really grabbing your attention. also thematas instrumental songs i quite miss and kindof felt let down by change part 2.

[froggerchanovsky]

@lukegoerzen Really? I have to say that when I first listened to it, it wasn't what I was expecting out of Change part 1. But it became one of my favourite tracks on the album.

Jon Stockman said that "Themata is an album of hooks, whereas Sound Awake is an album of lures". This is what makes it ultimately rewarding to listen to - it doesn't slap you across the face with an onslaught of guitar solos and riffs, but contains a lot of hidden intricacies that you slowly discover on repeated listefd.

[froggerchanovsky]

repeated listens*

[lukegoerzen]

@froggerchanovsky yeah. i guess to say "letdown" is a bit to harsh. its my favourite song on the album aswell. and i just re-listened to the whole album but i still cant shake the feeling i get from songs like "cote" or "shutterspeed" and "roquefort with horn guests" slight change in style and i just love "scarabs" as well. but change part2 and goliath are the only two songs on the new album i could really attach myself to...

[lukegoerzen]

@lukegoerzen at the same time. hahaha getting hooked isnt so bad because they certainly slap you in the face with style

[froggerchanovsky]

@lukegoerzen That's fair enough, although I can say that I love most of the tracks, except for The Medicine Wears Off and Illumine which don't really do anything for me.

[MrSvenner]

great band

[Spasekake]

It's just the game and you lost it.

[greenemu]

@Spasekake grrr!!

[Mana90]

This song rocks.

And the video is amazing!

Love it

5/5*

[REDNECKXSTOMP]

amazing video, real nice colors and concept, cheers!

[Squinch24]

freaking awesome. i just hope for a centre of the earth video clip =] that would be sweet (hint hint :)
