Karnivool Premiere First Song In Four Years ‘Drone’

Karnivool have released ‘Drone’, their first new music in four years.

‘Drone’ is the sound of Karnivool entering a new era — a slow-cooked journey forged in the studio’s heat, where every note was tested and tempered. This track hums with the weight of vast Western Australian deserts, anchored by colossal rock riffs that could only come from our home. It’s both a reflection and a rebirth,” says the band in a statement

Karnivool will head out of their ‘Ad Complementum tour starting 16 July in Hobart. “We can’t bloody wait to get out there and share what’s been brewing in the Karnivool riff pot, and show folks what they have to look forward to,” says frontman Ian Kenny.
