Biography

Perth, Australia (1996 – present)

Karnivool is a five-piece progressive rock group based in Perth, Australia that was formed by Ian Kenny in 1996, who at the time filled the roles of both guitarist and vocalist for the band while they played Carcass and Nirvana covers. Their name stems from the band being initially described by local fans as “a bunch of clowns”. Their style of music can be classified as both progressive rock and alternative rock, with alternative metal undertones. Major influences of the band are Nirvana, Radiohead, Meshuggah, Pink Floyd, Tool, Soundgarden and Carcass. Critically hailed as being one of the establishing bands for the Australian progressive rock and metal movement, Karnivool are considered amongst the few in Australia’s rapidly growing music industry to still be bringing new and refreshing material to their catalog.

In 1996, Kenny began by recruiting two of his high school classmates (Andrew Brown/Brett McKenzie) to play Carcass and Nirvana covers at several gigs around Perth. At this time, both Karnivool’s current bassist and lead guitarist were attending a conservatorium to study jazz guitar and drums respectively. In 1998, Andrew Goddard joined Karnivool on bass, and from there they began writing original material. Soon Andrew “Drew” Goddard was switched to lead guitar, Andrew Brown and Brett McKenzie were replaced by Jon Stockman (bass) and Ray Hawking (percussion). The band have since released several singles and two EPs, Themata and most recently their sophomore record, Sound Awake.

    Just heard Kenny introducing a BoT song on Triple M. He refers to himself as "Kenny" too, ha!

    It's such a joke, that the video is blocked throughout half the world! I like We Are way better than The Refusal although the screaming stuff is something I'm very excited about. I hope some of the other songs also use it. But Karnivool surely haven't lost their groove.

    Wow, they changed them quite a bit. Think I like the new version a bit more. I think I prefer the line in "The Refusal" when it was "maybe, we all dance one move" though.

    the "we are" backing vocals is annoying at the end of the track. plus they changed the lyrics again. other than that I love it.

    New song "we are" is amazing!

    let's hope that 'the refusal' is just an outlier on the new record, much like 'set fire to the hives' was on sound awake - at least for me. 'We are' sounds much more promising ...
