Karnivool - Persona (Full EP)

1. "Fade"
2. "Da-Reka"
3. "Headcase"
4. "Featherweight"
5. "Some More of the Same"

[@SunsetBear]

With the context of having heard this album, Themata seems to be another one of those transitional period albums that I find so fascinating and beautiful. Malina by Leprous was their big transition away from really heavy stuff and it’s by far my favorite album of theirs too. It’s these blends and fusions, like Malina and Themata, that are so amazing. Not the “perfection” artists seek to achieve their whole career, even though that is what they all gradually drift towards as they continue to gain more expertise. There’s always an unfortunate disconnect between the artist and what society finds valuable about their work. But if the creative process works well enough to give us Themata, then, well... never change, creative process. Never change.

[@tonyalynn9376]

it's like rage against the machine meets KoRn and tool or something. I blown away over here .. freakin amazed.

[@OctavianCucuta]

+Tonya Lynn - I also get a vibe of Godsmack in Featherweight, ~ 19:30 or so. Like "Sick of Life". Obviously not the same styles, just a hint of it, in my opinion.

[@touffedaviau8370]

@@OctavianCucuta I think it's the dissonant chord that reminds you of Godsmack, and I can't disagree

[@zipperblues6714]

And Deftones

[@alexhenderson6521]

@@zipperblues6714 definitely some hints of Deftones in there

[@jonathandoemel2775]

They started as a Nirvana cover band. And one of them is in Deft Ones, a Deftones cover band. They also had a hand in providing drum and bass parts for Pendulum’s Hold Your Colour (so, drum & bass and dubstep as well).

Fine gentleman! Please pin this comment, so it's easier to find timecodes.

[@sergejgroenescheij2700]

Yesterday I heard the song Fade for the first time in their live stream, amazed there is a whole EP that's not on Spotify.

[@dkGamecocks]

the band (twitter acount) actually responded to me on twitter when i asked about this, unfortunately my request for a remastered version on Spotify was denied.

[@Ensource]

If you like this, check out "the butterfly effect". From Australia as well.

Love all of them !!!

Holy shit. Just discovering this now.

[@KirillTr]

Dude, I discovered this NOW.

[@WHEREVA]

@@KirillTr it sucks they have removed this album from their own youtube, spotify, apple music. etc i found them in 2002 and its like they want this album to vanish

[@averyryder8080]

still today, u won't find many organic, heavily fat, grungy non nonsense listenable metal. Karnivool are awesome and persona, 17 years on is still one of my fav albums that inspire me.

[@marisaveilleux8533]

Never knew this existed but I've been listening to them for four or five years, glad I found it. It reminds me of Themata most. (Album). I want them to your in California!

[@tinkz2009]

ok

[@7star7storm7]

Marisa Veilleux good call....we have another band that was really similar same time period called " the butterfly effect " - they were awesome and their album " begins here" has alot of parallels with persona and sound awake. If you like they have few albums that are well worth chekn out. Happy listening

[@benfitzgerald5003]

Lead singer is also in Birds of Tokyo. Karnivool played my high school in Perth 19 years ago

I've been listening to karnivool for 10 years now and I just discovered this -.-. wtf

[@alexmurphy5289]

It’s so damn good

[@jonathandoemel2775]

They played Fade during the streaming concert, and I thought it was a new song from the 4th album lol. And I’ve been listening to them for about as long as you.

[@KenjiOlivier]

Nice to hear for sure, but it's good that they have grown and matured as a band and moved away from this sound. They evolved to a progressive band with a unique sound, still waiting for the new album tho ...

[@alexmurphy5289]

Hopefully soon man, heard they are well into writing it

[@mattmichael2230]

I swear their new album has been almost ready for years now! 3ish maybe even 4 years ago they played a small concert in Perth showcasing some new and upcoming songs which was absolutely epic, but I've been waiting to hear those songs again for a looong ass time

[@jeep1070]

Actually after checking their discography they had an album in 1999 titled KARNIVOOL. Then this five track EP. PERSONA. Then THEMATA. Then SOUND AWAKE. Then ASYMETRY.

[@THEoXPHANTOMXo]

This Ep is very cool, I've heard 100 times and never tire of listening to the songs take me away

[@DARRENC910]

First time listening to this in maybe 8 or 9 months. Glad I don't have it on repeat, short and super sweet.

[@dirtydirtybiker]

These blokes really can do no wrong, easily apart of my all-time favourite bands list 💪

[@mad1mwuaha395]

yeow! (yeow)

[@lemonadeutube]

Thanks for sharing this! Like others, never even knew this existed. After they took Themata off Spotify, I've been coming to KZbin for my Themata fix, which has become my favorite album. And then to find out my favorite album has more songs available, it's a dream come true! When their new music doesn't do it for you, you dig deep in the archives. It's the follow up album I always wanted! What are the chances. I'm ecstatic! Happy Valentine's 2020 🤘

[@a1d3nh0]

Themata is back on Spotify as of now

[@elena-roxanaiordachel4720]

bro........put this on spotify.......please.......

[@BornForOsiris]

Holy shit. Been listening to them for nearly a decade and this is the first time im hearing this. So much heavier. What a vibe. Thanks for the upload man!

[@Whowhaaa]

One of the most brutal screams on any album, A true vocal masterpiece

[@Whowhaaa]

@Romy Taylor yes the really long one. So raw. Just my opinion though i just recently got into harsher vocals and such im sure there are equally sick if not sicker that i have not heard yet.

[@steampunk1435]

[@tesseractbutterflyeffect5861]

Why isn't this on Spotify? Fuck this reminds me of a holiday I took 5 years ago. This EP was the only thing I listened to while I was away. Brings me back everytime

[@VincentDeLuca2003]

I’ve never heard this album before, but listening to this, I never realized how hard they were earlier on. I’m getting heavy Korn and Tool vibes from this stuff, and it makes me realize how they actually mellowed out a little bit with Sound Awake and Asymmetry (although that’s when they definitely reached their peak)

[@tesseractbutterflyeffect5861]

Put this on Spotify for fucks sake

[@TheIbanez21601]

Couldn't agree more. Like seriously, why isn't it on there?

[@SCooper0143]

It's on Spotify now! I just discovered this EP on their Spotify page. I've been listening to Karnivool since like 2011 and didn't know about this release, it was a nice surprise finding it
