We do not reside in the identical metropolis anymore, all of us sort of reside separate. Quick ahead to now and Karnivool solely will get collectively a handful of occasions a 12 months to put in writing music.

“It is not prefer it was ten years in the past. Ten years in the past we lived in the identical metropolis and we have been completely different folks. We did not have households – we have all obtained households now and that form of stuff. Quick ahead ten years, we solely get collectively a handful of occasions a 12 months to truly write stuff. In order that’s put an enormous delay in additional music popping out.

I don’t know if it will be a record. Maybe an EP, maybe two EPs actually. I think everyone has this assumption that Karnivool is full time working on this record. We’re not at all.”

Thankfully it isn’t like Karnivool has been utterly silent – they have been taking part in reveals and so they launched a brand new single “All It Takes” in 2021.
