Live Acoustic Shows Announcement

First Acoustic Set in Over a Decade

Karnivool promises to deliver a memorable experience, incorporating acoustic renditions of both new tracks and beloved classics, while engaging with their audience in a way that fans haven’t seen in years.
New Track ‘Animation’
In anticipation of the album’s release on February 6, the band has shared ‘Animation,’ a standout track that showcases their evolving sound. The song is characterized by expansive verses, fuzzy choruses, and the signature rhythmic tension that Karnivool fans have come to love. The band describes ‘Animation’ as an exploration of the new sonic spaces discovered in their rhythm section, encapsulating the essence of In Verses with its themes of frustration, renewal, and the relentless search for enlightenment.
Journey to In Verses
The journey to the release of In Verses has been anything but straightforward. The band has spent years experimenting in their studio in Perth alongside longtime collaborator Forrester Savell, crafting an album that condenses a decade’s worth of life experiences into ten meticulously composed tracks. The album tackles themes of catharsis, frustration, and rediscovery, reflecting the unique essence that Karnivool has embodied throughout their illustrious career.
