This album proves exactly why the music industry sucks! What we have here is possibly one of the most enjoyable listens you will ever experience…and yet, most of you have probably never even heard of Karnivool. Granted, they are from Australia which probably doesn’t help much, but even in their home country they are relatively unknown. That’s not to say they don’t have a large fan base. In fact they do have a huge loyal following of fans. But as for media attention…..as always it’s very minimal. Therefore even most Australians will look at you like you just cursed at them if you even mention the word Themata.
So why wont radio or television stations play Karnivool? That’s a tough question to answer. Upon listening to Themata there really is nothing on this album that wouldn’t fit on a radio stations playlist. It is heavy but it’s not offensively heavy. There is no screaming, no cursing and no lyrics telling you to burn down your school. So what’s the problem? Well, it’s like this. Most radio stations will only play music that has already seen some form of success, therefore guaranteeing that their listeners will not switch to another station. But how does music get major success? From being played on the radio. It’s a cycle that consumes struggling bands wanting to make it big. A cycle that I will call ‘The Gay Radio Principle’.
But enough about ‘The Gay Radio Principle’, lets talk about Themata. This album has everything a hard-rock fan could want. Brutal guitar riffs, odd time signatures, drumming beyond belief and the most amazing emotional vocals you will probably hear all year. Every track on this album has something new to offer, from the heaviness of ‘Roquefort’, to the soft and emotional ‘Sewn & Silent’. Nothing on here will disappoint.
Do yourself a favour. Go out and buy Themata today! Support a band that actually deserves it! If you won’t take my word for it then simply download this rare torrent of Karnivool covering ‘Sleeping Satellite’ and prepare to be amazed.
Rating: 5/5

Actually the line is "its so good to see, this world is ALIVE." Not a "lie." Trust me, I've seen Kenny sing it many times.
And that's not Ian Kenny, the singer of Karnivool, singing on "Sleeping Satellite." I believe it's Mark Hosking, one of Karnivool's guitarists, who also has an amazing voice. But Kenny does all the lead vocals in Themata. So "Sleeping Satellite," while an amazing rare song, is not exactly what you hear on Themata (plus it's a cover. What you hear on Themata is pure creative genius). Themata is even better.
Actually, the line "its so good to see, this world is a lie" appears in every chorus, along with "alive".
It would seem that seeing the song performed live many times has not aided your comprehension.
