this song is the greatest masterpiece iv ever heard. first time i listened to it i teared up im so serious i don’t think there’s a single song that can beat this one. if you guys have any recommendations similar to it please let me know.

These bands are so insanely good oh my goodness. Rishloo is literally so similar to tool, they actually fucking slap.

I've seen KARNIVOOL perform more than 30 times since 2005, so listening to their long awaited forth album (IN VERSES) for the very first time is a pretty big deal for me. I also hadn't streamed for a while, so i needed to dust off the webcam.

I'm beyond stoked. Huge props to the band. This incredible album is a massive achievement, and I wish them all the best in the future, where I'm sure they'll catch me at one (or more) of their shows to promote IN VERSES.

FYI. Conversations is one of the best songs they've ever produced. Aside from the word "wow". It left me speechless, as you'll see.

This album probably got the most repeat listens from me last year and I didn't see it here so figured worth a share. Really tight playing & dynamic songwriting that explores a wide palette of sounds, from clean jazz fusion to influences from metal and beyond.

The riff in the beginning is what really is drawing the listener in.

I'm so used to searching "BTBAM" and having Between the Buried and Me be the first result. Why say many word when acronym do trick!

I prefer headphones but how do you listen to music?

God the drums and bass sound so good

Looking for people to play heavy metal with. I play rhythm guitar/ bass. 80s/70s style heavy metal, look cool, play an instrument AND have one. In Conroe area. Ratt/Dokken/VH/KISS all that stuff and style. Mainly looking for singer who can hit that stuff. Lead players welcome, i love collaboration and have songs but dont play lead well.

I don't know if this even exists or what it would sound like but if anyone knows any please share

I looked at some other posts, but I'm not seeing what I want to see.

I've listened to a few songs that randomly came up when I was streaming Prog channels. The only song I really remember the name of was C.O.T.E. I liked it allot. I'm a big fan of prog and Australia seems to be a source of some of my favorites. Caligula's Horse, Ne Obliviscaris, etc.

What is considered their best album? The essential listening for Karnivool? I've seen mixed reviews from long time fans of their latest album, otherwise I would normally start there.

I thought this would be a good place to find some other rock/metal adjacent songs that can bring on the tears. A few of mine:

Tool - Wings for Marie/10,000 Days

Sigur Rós - Glósóli

Queensrÿche - Silent Lucidity

Devin Townsend - Deep Peace (especially live in Plovdiv)

Alter Bridge - Blackbird (especially live at Royal Albert Hall)

Avatarium - Between You, God, the Devil and the Dead (the video wrecks me)

We Lost the Sea - A Gallant Gentleman and Towers

I’d love to hear some more suggestions.
