The release of Karnivool's full-length album 'THEMATA' marks one of the most highly anticipated releases for an independent band.  The album itself has been more than 3 years in the making and it's got plenty to show for it.  Capturing a perfect blend of both melodic beauty and spine-bending rock, this album will appeal to anyone who desires a truly unique sound. For a band that has done it all themselves, this album represents the apex of their efforts and endeavours over the last 3 year slog. With a powerful reputation backing the intensity of their live performances and armed with a killer release, Western Australia's biggest buzz band are set to conquer in 2005.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING:

"Karnivool is more like a religion than a band these days. While the act delivers the frantic message from the pulpit, the audience heaves and chants with every word, never letting up until the ritual is through." - Xpress Magazine Perth '03.

"Karnivool must have set some kind of record for the launch of a local album. A benchmark setting turnout and album" - Xpress  Magazine Perth '05

"No one should really be surprised, when the next big thing to emerge from WA is a five-piece heavy rock outfit, called Karnivool" - Beat Mag Melbourne '05.
