Karnivool to release first three albums on vinyl

Australian prog rock legends Karnivool are to release their first three albums on vinyl. Themata, Sound Awake and Asymmetry will be released through InsideOut Music on December 6.

All three albums were originally pressed on vinyl for a limited run in 2015 and sold online only. The run sold out instantly and put all three albums back in the Australian album charts. With copies now exchanging hands at high prices on auction sites, the band have decided to give fans the opportunity to buy their records at a reasonable price.

The new vinyl editions of Themata (2005), Sound Awake (2009) and Asymmetry (2013) will be available as Gatefold 2-LP editions on 180gr. black vinyl. All three are available for pre-order.

Karnivool have just returned from India where they played their first international festival headline slot at NH7 Meghalaya. They will play the following Australian dates:

Dec 01: Perth Badlands
Dec 04: Hobart Uni Bar
Dec 06: Melbourne Flemington Racecourse
Dec 07: Sydney Centennial Park
Dec 08: Brisbane Showgrounds
