Same dude. The prog gods have spoken

[@andrewneehall5664]

This absolutely rips. Bass tone is pure filth; gargantuan even. And that dissonant guitar solo is just icing on the cake!!

[@theartofshwa]

Talk about constant stank face through the whole track. That thicccc filthy bass tone is amazing.

[@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor]

John Stockman quite literally invented this tone, as he's the bass player behind the Dark Glass Alpha Omega distortion pedal a lot of bass players are using these days to get that one. That all came from John. :D

[@TrentTheTraveler]

THAT TONE IS SO GOOD. I've missed these guys so much WOW. Life is instantly better now.

[@engelchenlulu1]

100%

[@The_Noticer.]

I would tone it down a notch in the final mix, it's a bit overpowering.

[@Caynug]

wth are you doing here bro haha, this song slaps so good.

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

@TTTHEFINEPRINTTT YES! that bass tone! It's like Justin's (TOOL). The other day I took the strings off my Nathan East 5-string, bought a pack for 6-string bass and DIDN'T use the low. It now has almost that EXACT tone. haha wanna see me doing "SCHISM" with vocals using that? I recorded it for a student.

[@EricDoriean]

Usually, the comments section of KZbin is something to stay away from not. Not when Karnivool drop a new song though. Listening to the song and reading the comments is making me smile from the inside out.

[@boogyjuggy]

Back with producer Forrester Savell, love it...Sound awake was a masterpiece.

[@astrosurf68]

Can't agree more !💜 Especially the lyrics eight years ago perfect describing the chaos the brought on us and the responsibility that we as humans have to rise up!

[@boogyjuggy]

@@astrosurf68 cheers

[@Amnesjah]

100%.

[@tabithadickerson2525]

Their wall of sound they've developed is very cool. They've definitely found their sound and come a long way since Themata.

[@Joesorr324]

Almost 9 years later and they release this gem outta nowhere. Thank you Karnivool

[@gravematter824]

I will wait until I die for a new Karnivool album. It's been 2 years since this point, and I want them to cook as long as they need. There is something so absolutely special about what they create that it is difficult to explain why they are one of my favorite bands of my lifetime.

[@Daniel_Berry]

"With true patience, wait for the sound | Worth the wait I'm sure | We're all listening now" lol so meta, eight long years but definitely worth the wait!

[@BryanRoper]

I wake up on the morning of my birthday to a new Karnivool track…and it absolutely slaps! Oh what a day, what a lovely day!!

[@kaykolesnyk9289]

i don't know how many times i've listened to this in the 24hrs it's been out. i've been Karnivool-starved for 8 years

Gentlemen, it's been an honour. Now let us rejoice.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

Seven years. Seven years I have waited for this moment and I am ELATED. There's no album I am anticipating more than Vool's! That bass tone should be illegal, genuinely can't get over how spectacular everything sounds. Oh and the song is SENSATIONAL.

STOKED FOR THIS 🔥 THE KINGS HAVE RETURNED 💖🇦🇺🤘

[@charlescurtner1051]

It's absolutely ridiculous how good this band is.

[@jlae111]

[@time2k12]

I'm ready for that new album drop any minute now

[@canalenumero2543]

When?

[@codycriswell]

Karnivool and Forrester Savell absolutely slapping this!!! Love this track.

[@bodkie]

Karnivool have gotten me through some pretty tough times. Struggles with addiction, grief, trauma, love, pain and loss. They've been a band I go back to at some of my lowest points and it helps remind me that the world has beauty, even in the tragedy. Now, when I'm feeling at one of my lowest points once again, this comes out. I came here straight from a Sisyphus 55 video about the "desire to simply not exist", which I resonate all too well with. I'm generally someone who really struggles to fully experience feelings, I repress them automatically most of the time, but now I'm sitting here sobbing and it's like a breakthrough, a release and all the pent up hopelessness is flowing out of me and I feel like I'm ready to try again, to pick all the pieces up and work towards better things. Pain, emptiness, oblivion; they're all part of life, but so are wonder, love and amazing experiences. It's worth it to just keep going, learn from everything you can while living in each moment, experiencing every bit of it.

[@drewtube4359]

Hello Bodkazhar. I love you mate. Thankyou and keep going.

[@Mike.Ivory.Music7]

Where there's life there's hope. Keep fighting for the love and beauty left in this world, even if you have to create it yourself. There's others like myself fighting with you. Been clean from heroin since 2018. God bless

[@A_Salty_Fishe]

I misread your comment and though Sisyphus 55 linked you to this video lmao I was like "WHAAAAAT?!?!"

[@VincentDeLuca2003]

Keep strong man. There’s always happiness in the world. Sometimes you just have to find it.

[@ryanpritt4849]

It’s like they never left. 🔥

[@TheJesusjoe]

All i can say is, thank you Karnivool. Thank you.

[@guysolomon7904]

I feel like this song does such a good job of including classic Themata grunge, Sound Awake depth and progressive base and Symmetry's lead guitar licks - perfectly brings the different album styles together imo. Cannot wait for this - missed the Sound Awake tour last year due to cancellation and dying to see these guys live again.

[@MentokTheMindTaker]

Best track you've released since Sound Awake, hope the rest of the album is like this

[@droptherapy2085]

Idk I quite enjoyed asymmetry

[@VincentDeLuca2003]

Agreed. As much as I love Asymmetry, and think it’s a masterpiece in its own right, nothing will ever beat sound awake. It’s quite possibly the greatest rock album of all time imo. The sound of this track is really reminiscent of that for me, and I do hope to hear more of that style on this album.

[@TCiCiL1]

That last chorus, man.... goosebumps. So good.

[@sinsofzyn480]

Thanks Pandora for showing me this. Been loving Karnivool since 2010, shame they ain't noticed more.

[@LordHarlyquinn]

[@Sheytopia]

I love Karnivool. Kinda sad that we can only hear the high pitched "All it takes you" part twice. It's my favourite part of the song! It tickles all the right spots for me.

[@TheHappyCatsTail]

Sometimes i lowkey wish these guys would miss at least once to remind us all that they are actually humans. but i dont think its gonna happen. another absolute banger.

Tasteful hints of Meshuggah. I like. Such an amazing band, I live on the other side of the world in the UK and Ive still been lucky enough to see them 3 times.
