Our Take

The Australian prog-rock outfit Karnivool has returned with their sophomore album, "Sound Awake," and it's safe to say that it's more than just a wake-up call. From the moment you press play, you're thrown into a whirlwind of complex riffs, intricate rhythms, and soaring vocals that will leave you questioning whether you're still on the same planet.

Lead singer Ian Kenny's vocals are a highlight throughout the album, effortlessly switching between haunting whispers and powerful screams that seem to defy the laws of physics. The rest of the band backs him up with a tight, cohesive sound that feels like they've been playing together for decades.

Tracks like "Simple Boy" and "Set Fire to the Hive" showcase Karnivool at their best, blending heavy grooves with ethereal melodies in a way that only they can. And just when you think you've got them pegged, they throw in a curveball with the dreamy, atmospheric sounds of "Change (Part 1)."

Overall, "Sound Awake" is a masterpiece of modern prog-rock that cements Karnivool's status as one of the most innovative bands in the genre. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the sonic landscape that is Karnivool's world. Just make sure you hold on tight, because things are about to get seriously trippy.
