Karnivool In Verses

In Verses marks the long-awaited return of Australian modern progressive titans Karnivool, arriving as their fourth studio album and first full-length release since the globally acclaimed, Australian #1 charting Asymmetry. Years in the making and bordering on myth, In Verses is the result of persistence, reinvention and a long, intense creative stretch in the studio in Perth.

Reuniting with kindred-spirit producer Forrester Savell (Themata, Sound Awake), the band have crafted an album that feels both expansive and unmistakably Karnivool. In Verses draws subtle threads from their celebrated back catalogue while pushing their sound forward — balancing intricate rhythmic detail, towering dynamics and deeply emotional songwriting.

Across its sprawling compositions, the album expands Karnivool’s immersive soundscapes without losing the moments of lift and release that define their music. It’s an album built on tension and payoff, introspection and power, proving that their singular approach to progressive rock remains as vital and compelling as ever.

Pressed on Vinyl 2LP, In Verses is a triumphant statement from a band that refuses to rush the creative process. In a fast-moving world, Karnivool once again demonstrate that some things are truly worth the wait.
