Karnivool Posts Album Update and Photos
Karnivool have posted a dual update regarding their highly-anticipated second album. Guitarist Drew Goddard issued the following studio update:
"YES! There’s a pulse! We are alive and breathing in 2009. Firstly, we apologise for the lack of updates. It’s now completely apparent that when we create an album we have a tendency to get sucked headfirst into a vortex, some parallel universe - home to the fairies, gnomes and goblins and long fucking hours in the studio.
"Thankfully, we have an end in sight. We are spending the rest of this month and early February finishing extra tracking, (yes there’s lots) and then mixing through to the end of the month. We can’t thank everyone enough, for the constant flow of support and interest, and especially patience while we conduct our bizarre, drawn out and slightly masochistic ritual that is our songwriting/recording process. We’ve almost finished a new video blog that’s captured a lot of what has been happening over the last couple of months, this will be up in the next couple of days. Until then, check the pictures section for some snaps of the band at work in the studio, and for those who have not stumbled across it whilst getting lost in the wonders of youtube, attached to this blog is a live version of a song called “Deadman” from the show at The Metro in Sydney last year. The song will feature on the upcoming 2nd album due for release early this year. We will be revealing the album title and release date in the coming weeks and will continue to post updates more regularly from now and up to the time of release. We’re all very excited about what we’ve produced over the last 4 years, (haha!) and can’t wait to share it with you. Thanks again and check back shortly."
Additionally, two pages of photos from the band's recent time in the studio can be found here.

Karnivool In Pre-Production On Sophomore Album
Karnivool are currently locked away in a studio in Perth, Australia completing pre-production on the follow-up to their outstanding debut album, "Themata." A journal update from the band on the matter states:
"The 2nd album is shaping up to be a gem. You may have realised by now that we don't write albums very quickly, but we don't like to do things by halves. We are about to lock the doors of our comfy little studio which sits among the serene surrounds of the industrial hussle and bussle of Osborne Park where we will be entering the 'preproduction' stage. Joining us once again on the start of our excellent adventure is our good friend Forrester Savell. In the next two weeks we will be finishing tracks, tying up loose ends, chopping things up and sticking them together again, applying the lacquer where necessary, or taking to it with blunt objects where necessary. All in all, making the sure everything is exactly how we like it before we begin the real tracking process within the coming weeks. Once again, thanks for your patience and support. In the meantime here's a little video of what we've been up to recently. We will be posting videos and blogging on a regular basis throughout the pre-production and recording period, check back soon.

New Australian Metal Scene Documentary In Making
Brutal Australia is a documentary into the contemporary Australian metal scene. The projects' myspace page discusses Brutal Australia:
"The heavy music scene has undergone a massive transformation in recent years with an influx of amazing bands, new styles, a new image and an incredible level of acceptance. Now is Australia’s time! The revolution has begun! What were once just a bunch of underground bands rocking out to an empty room at their local pub are now outselling some of Australia's biggest pop stars in both ticket and album sales. Brutal Australia is an in depth documentary showing the scene from the bands perspective, with interviews from the most influential Metal, Hardcore, Metalcore, Hard Rock, Death Metal and Tech bands in the country. This film is a must see for not only all heavy music fans, but also those that may not understand the music, the people or the lifestyle."
Directed by Will Gaffney and produced by Raw Sound Industries, Brutal Australia will see release sometime in November of this year, and will feature Parkway Drive, I Killed The Prom Queen, Sunk Loto, Karnivool, Daysend, Psycroptic, and Five Star Prison Cell.
