KARNIVOOL Announce First Album in Over a Decade, Share New Single “Aozora”

Australian alternative metal veterans Karnivool have announced their long-awaited return with In Verses, the band’s first new studio album in more than ten years. The record arrives February 6th via Cymatic Records/Sony Music, serving as the follow-up to 2013’s Asymmetry.

Recorded with longtime collaborator Forrester Savell, the album marks a major moment for the band and their fans worldwide. Alongside the announcement, Karnivool have released a brand-new single, “Aozora”, which takes its name from the Japanese word for “blue sky.”

Frontman Ian Kenny described the track’s themes, stating:

“The whole theme for that song is escaping, or waiting to escape. Trying to find a way to escape yourself. The idea of finding freedom in the blue. Trying to find freedom amongst the complications of just being human. We’re so weird, you know? Trying to understand that at different times along the road, sometimes you end up with more questions than answers.”

In Verses track listing:

01 – “Ghost”
02 – “Drone”
03 – “Aozora”
04 – “Animation”
05 – “Conversations”
06 – “Reanimation”
07 – “All It Takes”
08 – “Remote Self Control”
09 – “Opal”
10 – “Salva”
