Karnivool have always taken the long road—each release layered, complex, and evolving, building one of the most intricate stories in the Australian music scene. Their upcoming fourth album “In Verses” continues that journey, capturing a decade of change through themes of frustration, catharsis, and rediscovered identity.
Friday night in Stockholm was completely sold out. Fans traveled in from different cities, and you could already hear “such a great progressive metal band” echoing through public transport on the way to Debaser. Inside, it was intense—packed, loud, and seriously hot.
As frontman Ian Kenny puts it, the album reflects who they’ve become over the past ten years—and that energy translated fully live.
It was sweaty, overwhelming, and exactly what it should be.
Love music. Drink more water—preferably progressive-charged water.
