Top 10 Best Karnivool Songs
Formed in 1997 in Perth, Karnivool began as a small-time cover band before shifting toward a highly original sound that fused rock, metal, and complex rhythms into something entirely unique. By the early 2000s, they were already gaining a following with their debut EPs, but it was the release of their full-length albums Themata (2005) and Sound Awake (2009) that really put them on the global map.Karnivool's music is a journey through intense, hauntingly beautiful soundscapes. Their songs often feature complex time signatures and layers of melody that build into an almost hypnotic experience. Ian Kenny's vocals add an emotional weight that perfectly complements the band's intricate instrumentation, making their songs both powerful and deeply introspective. Whether it's the raw energy of their early tracks or the refined depth of later ones, Karnivool manages to push boundaries with each release, continually redefining what progressive rock can be.
Killer bass, annihilating drums, screaming freakingly great vocals, and awesome consistency throughout the song. This Aussie band deserves more attention, appreciation, fame, and respect. I request that the world limit foolish hip-hop and turn to better musical collaborations, which exist in every atom of rock (any subtype).
Even though C.O.T.E. is my personal favorite, Themata is the signature Karnivool song in my opinion. It just has all the dynamics that make it a perfect song. Perfect listen for anyone wanting to get into Karnivool.
No words to describe the feeling I get while listening to this song! Brilliant.
Hands down one of their best songs. Still like Deadman better though.
I usually listen to this back-to-back with Change, and quite frankly, it's a tough call which one's better. Both have so much emotion and passion. Change has the bonus of sounding like Tool. Yet Deadman takes the cake because it is not only brilliant musically but also incredibly well-structured, repeating motifs carefully and beautifully like a true progressive metal epic.
Epic artwork. So many different rhythms and melodies flowing and converging. This is music. Easily their best song.
It's hard to choose a favorite Karnivool song. All their albums are awesome. They deserve much attention. All I Know and Themata are also awesome.
Hard to find a long song that you like every moment of. Well, this is the one!
Very long but such an awesome song the whole way through.
I cried the first time I listened to the "Sing alone, sing aloud to be alive" part. The music is simply beautiful, and the feel in Kenny's singing is stunning. Their best track by far, followed by "Deadman" and "New Day."
Beautiful song. Epically structured with highs and lows.
Such a beauty. Definitely should be in the first.
Amazing composition, musicianship, and vocals. Did I say amazing? It's amazing!
Superb riffs and drums! Deserves a top 3 spot!
Stunning piece of music. Possibly the best Australian song ever written in this genre.
Great song with amazing lyrics. The music video is great too.
This song is perfect. From start to finish, every single element of the song is executed superbly. Killer bass line and brilliant vocals by Kenny. Favorite Karnivool song hands down and one of the best songs ever.
Man! The feel of this song sweeps you off the ground and drops you off a cliff!
Karnivool is an amazing band, and this is definitely one of their best!
This song stands out in Karnivool's impressive armada.
The Newcomers
This song is easy, simple, and so close to the heart. This song sounds awake!
It's time someone starts voting for this song and sees it reach the top.
God, those lyrics with that climax! It's amazing. It's so catchy, and the lyrics "Stare blind at the sun, feel the warmth in your eyes" have something special to them.
Simply amazing vocals, guitar, bass, drums, everything. The bass entry at the second bar of the song is epic, and the drum fills with off-time endings going into the chorus are awesome. Their best, in my opinion, and Cote comes close behind.
One of the best songs ever. From the ethereal intro to the dramatic crescendo, everything in this piece is perfect. Not to mention the touching existentialist lyrics. Killer bass sound throughout the whole song.
No idea why this isn't higher on the list. This is prog rock meets metal at its finest.
This whole album is awesome, but this song is epic.
Not a very "metal" song, but still excellent.
Awesome music. Brilliant lyrics! The complete music! This song should really be in the top 3. I haven't heard a lot of better songs than this one.
