Karnivool In Verses CD (Jewel Case, 2029, Sony) 

The long-awaited fourth studio album from Australian progressive metal pioneers Karnivool, In Verses marks a major new chapter in the band’s evolution.

Emerging from Western Australia’s heavy music scene in the early 2000s, Karnivool built a global reputation through landmark progressive releases like Themata, Sound Awake and Asymmetry. Each album pushed their sound further into complex rhythmic structures, atmospheric textures and emotionally powerful songwriting. With In Verses, the band deliver another ambitious and deeply layered record that continues their legacy as one of Australia’s most influential progressive metal acts.

Driven by the unmistakable vocals of Ian Kenny and the intricate guitar interplay of Drew Goddard and Mark Hosking, the album explores expansive sonic landscapes while maintaining the heavy, rhythmic foundation that defines Karnivool’s sound. Complex time signatures, hypnotic grooves and soaring melodies combine to deliver a powerful listening experience that rewards repeated plays.

Like its predecessors, In Verses balances progressive ambition with emotional depth, delivering moments of crushing heaviness alongside cinematic atmosphere and introspective songwriting. The band’s signature attention to detail and production quality ensure the album sits comfortably among the strongest releases in their catalogue.

For fans of progressive and alternative metal, this release continues Karnivool’s tradition of creating immersive albums that stand the test of time.

This CD edition is a must-have for collectors, progressive metal fans and anyone building a serious Australian heavy music collection.
