Karnivool - We Are

[@thestylishpsychologist]

I genuinely hope people come to recognize and appreciate the profound complexity woven into Karnivool’s music. This isn’t just standard fare; we’re talking about meticulously crafted compositions and soundscapes that are truly one of a kind. Every element is thoughtfully placed, with each instrument harmonizing flawlessly with the others - an unmistakable display of both technical skill and artistic sensitivity. The virtuosity with which they play is impressive in its own right, but then there’s Ian Kenny’s voice, a rare and captivating presence that adds another dimension to their sound. His unique tone and emotional depth bring something powerful and irreplaceable to their music, solidifying Karnivool’s identity as a band that’s both sophisticated and refreshingly authentic. Discovering Karnivool has been a gift and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to experience their extraordinary work. Their music not only stands out but resonates deeply, offering a listening experience that is as challenging as it is rewarding. Thank you, Karnivool, for the brilliance and dedication you bring to your craft! (31/10/2024)

[@Quantum_Zebra]

It's criminal how underrated this band is!!

[@Quandary100]

Quantum Zebra for what I saw happened to the Jeudah, believe me it's better if they stay known from few people who really love em and listen all their songs from the beginning...

[@Quandary100]

coitinsforyourocky They surely have and I'm pretty sure they'll grow up their influence for every album they'll do...I only hope they won't ever have their music used as a commercial theme...it's the worst way to make em known to the world. (that's what happened with Jeudah and their song "A ghost that never leaves", used as theme for Seven commercial last year)

[@sen3519]

+Quandary100 Know this is an older post, but what is up with this music hipster BS. These guys should want their music heard. Doesn't matter how big they get as long as they put out good music in my mind.

It's like everyone is playing their own song on top of each other, and it works so perfectly well.

[@armandholloway4742]

That's the magic of Karnivool

[@high2407]

This. That's also what I love about prog music, sometimes you hear a section and it completely mindfucks you, but everything still works out you know? Playing the most difficult things through each other, but eventually meeting up again. You don't necessarily have to "get" music right away, right?

[@SlavSquatSenpai]

It's exactly cause of that that I realized I was listening to the wrong meter of the song. I always thought it was 6/8 and super artistic, but after nearly 9 years I finally caught the meter by accident in 4/4 and it sounds phenomenal.

[@neilthomas82]

@@SlavSquatSenpai this happened to me too! It was only when I heard the live version I realised that I had been listening to it wrong this whole time. It still confuses me now and sometimes my brain still listens to it wrong and I have to restart the song to get it right!

[@Jazzinplayer]

@Divide Gamingit's definetly polyrhythm I think they jumb between 5/4, 6/8 and 4/4 every 4 bars or something. It's so hard to follow even harder to play. You can tell by the end the vocalist ends up singing in 6/8 but was 4/4 previously and I think 5/4 4 bars before that

[@zachsanterre2655]

The video was shot so well using seemingly very little and really sells the end of days concept. Love when they kick it up a notch at 2:30 and sets the stage for the escalating danger of the situation portrayed. Gave me chills at 3:24 when the younger girl gave that look of sadness/confusion. This video (eerily relevant today) and this band deserve more attention and praise. Drummer kicks ass ahem. Favorite song from them.
