Good news! After 12 years, Karnivool has completed recording the follow-up to their 2013 record Asymmetry. No word on when it’ll be released, but the band has begun lining up Australian tour dates from July through October presumably in support of the new music.
“After 5 long months in the studio we rise with something new,” wrote Karnivool. “Australia – we give you the first taste of what is to come.”

It’s worth noting that Karnivool did release a seemingly standalone single called “All It Takes” in December 2021. The band has also been performing three songs called “Animation”, “Reanimation”, and “Aozora” live since 2015. Who knows if those will be included on the record as well, but hey – new Karnivool is finally happening and I personally am pretty damn stoked.
