First Time Listening To // Karnivool - Themata Live (Reaction)

[@bob2shred894]

Theses guys are epic! Glad your discovering aussie music. They are a hidden gems

[@mylittlepwny9282]

Thanks for doing my request, Shaneo! Glad you enjoyed it. Karnivool and Butterfly Effect 🤘❤🤘 the whole Themata album is great. If Evan can stick to requests from the later albums I've got Themata covered 😂😂 Ian Kenny, the Karnivool singer, is in another band too, Birds of Tokyo... might get to them eventually. They're not so heavy.

[@ShaneAlanGower]

Sorry it took so long. been a busy week still got some other requests to try finish this weekend (: Evan requested COTE & Goliath which I will probably react to in bit. Once I wipe this sleep from my eyes :P Someone actually requested Birds of Tokyo which I've edited and should be out soon. I rather enjoyed what I listened to :D

[@mylittlepwny9282]

@@ShaneAlanGower Perfect. My next picks are Roquefort (live) and Scarabs (studio version) 😊

[@evo1h]

Nice one. I was saying Shane would probably enjoy seeing the Alpha Omega Ghost City Sessions as it's filmed in the studio. Will put it on the list next time around.lol🤘

[@billyarmes]

You Sir, have earned yourself a sub. Other similar Aussie bands from around the same time period as Karnivool are The Butterfly Effect, Dead Letter Circus and Cog. All amazing and well worth a listen as well.

[@ShaneAlanGower]

Thank you, I have reacted to a few The butterfly effect songs already. Loving that band. Also have a live reaction I did of them coming up soon. Got two more karnivool reactions coming up as well :D

[@mylittlepwny9282]

Definitely check out the Butterfly Effect playlist and send Shane a few bucks for a request 😉 i only sent him my absolute favourites but there are heaps of gems out there.

[@beavschannel5217]

Definitely, Dead Letter Circus - Lines is a must, and Cog - The Middle

[@audivawalsh2983]

A tidbit: For this album, the bass player Jon Stockman wrote and performed both drums and bass for the recording of the entire album.

[@PanasonicTooth]

Has anyone mentioned the band Cog to you yet? They are/were the kings of Aussie "prog" rock next to Karnivool. They were a massive inspiration to Karnivool and one of the the Vool's fav bands. If you happen to give them a shot (fingers crossed) I guess "The Spine" is the one I'd suggest if I had to pick one. Cheers

[@PanasonicTooth]

Also, just realized your last name is Gower! The Gower brother's (Flynn and Luke) make up 2/3 of Cog, they are wizards alomg with the legendary drummer Lucius Borich. Anyway, I hope the Gower connection sways you lol :)

Gavin Harrison drummer with Porcupine Tree goes bananas on their live video song called The Hate Song. Genius!

[@trevland1303]

Cool 👍

[@vinceleretrogameur6298]

Nice ^^

[@beavschannel5217]

If you love the bass slap, you need to do Karnivool - Goliath, also amazingly complex drumming.

[@ShaneAlanGower]

That's coming up soon :D just did the reaction for that song this morning and C.o.t.e. C.o.t.e will probably drop in the next 2 hours or so. Goliath will probably be out tomorrow. Loved the bass in that song 😱

[@beavschannel5217]

@@ShaneAlanGower nice, probably my top two Cool songs, Eidolon has a really nice bass groove too, if you're looking for more. I just found you, subbed and looking forward to more...now onto the back catalogue

[@scrubsscrubs694]

Vocals don't sound on point. Highly recommend Deadman or Change album versions or We Are live on Triple J radio

[@stambo1983]

Moshcams really don't do them justice live, their mixes always sound terrible.

[@mattlane4367]

FINALLY A CONSISTANT KARNIVOOL REACTOR. DO SOME OTHER SONGS THAT ARE UNDER RATED

[@mattlane4367]

Wait until ppl react to UMBRA
