Karnivool - C.O.T.E. | Live in Sydney | Moshcam

Karnivool performing C.O.T.E. live at Metro Theatre in Sydney on 25 June 2009

Karnivool is a five-piece progressive rock group based in Perth, Australia that was formed by Ian Kenny in 1996, who at the time filled the roles of both guitarist and vocalist for the band while they played Carcass and Nirvana covers. Their name stems from the band being initially described by local fans as "a bunch of clowns". Their style of music can be classified as both progressive rock and alternative rock, with alternative metal undertones. Major influences of the band are Nirvana, Radiohead, Meshuggah, Pink Floyd, Tool, Soundgarden and Carcass. Critically hailed as being one of the establishing bands for the Australian progressive rock and metal movement, Karnivool are considered amongst the few in Australia's rapidly growing music industry to still be bringing new and refreshing material to their catalog.

Themata is probably the best album released in the last 20 years. So underrated SO GOOD

[briangriffin]

I wish these guys got more recognition in the states!!

[mrmusketier]

Kenny is probably the most humble bloke when it comes to Australian artists.

[haydenstacpoole]

2022 still one of my favourite songs...thank you Karnivool🔥🤘🙏

[joenic]

This album opened my eyes to a lot of wonderful music from the land down under. 🤘

[roummyadipchakraborty]

started a moshpit with my bois in Kolkata, India when Karnivool started this song!

[matthewwaynesmith]

This was one of the best live bands that actually backed up their albums on stage. These guys are a true testament to hard work and great musicianship.

[patson]

how can someone dislike this piece of art?

[pad-dydrummer]

Karnivool are a spotless eargasm for the ears & unfaithfully, they are so underrated!

[jwfraga]

This is really a great live performance. Very polished. Super impressive

[Cestariarts]

This is a song that exposes the SOULS of the authors, its their feelings screaming out loud, that's why its so good. It's s pure and truthful.

[zackkuehle]

I can't wait for their new album. If I have to I'll find a way to fly to Australia to see them. So underrated, it's unreal! Everything is amazing! From the lyrics to the bass and crazy weird time signatures on those drums.
"Sing alone, sing aloud, to be alive, its so good to feel you near
swim alone, live a dream, see me drown, all this in apathy
Be still for a moment
so you can face this world, you face it all for a moment"

[brokencircle]

I would travel to Australia just to see them live

[devrimtas]

Most underrated band i ve ever know, greetings from Turkey.

[Cestariarts]

3:08 I LOVE this part, it's so intense and the next part even more. Fuck, this song is one of my favorites of all times from all bands

[DogOfEgypt]

Whoever was the live mix engineer probably didn't know Jon Stockman plays a fuckton of melodies in the high register with the bass, especially in this song, and can't be heard for shit during the show. A bassist with some of the most recognizeable tones out there can't be heard for shit during the whole song. GJ!

Are you willing to choose what I have in my mind?
Say it loud, with a voice of no reason in mind
I suppose this question will be answered

And I suppose the answer's here to save us
Have you heard have you listened lately?
Single word, single vowel, yet nothing frustrates me

Now I don't think you like me now
Now I don't think you like me now

Have you heard? It's a silent dream
It chooses the weather of your soul stream
So drop me down, let me feel this either way
Face me inside with a broken view, a broken heart, disappear

Now I don't think you like me now
Now I don't think you're like me now

Hold it, hold it
I won't leave you
Now hold it down, please

Sing alone, sing aloud, to be alive, its so good to feel you near
Swim alone, live a dream, see me drown, all this in apathy
Be still for a moment
So you can face this world, you face it all for a moment
So you can face this world, you face this world

Hold it, hold it
I won't leave you
Now hold it down, please

[DCRivs]

Flawless performance. Love the moshcam!

[mitcho]

words cant describe how incredible this song is!!! i truly hope to see them live one day!!!

[thediddlefiddler]

Americans have no idea what we've been missing. I just discovered these guys a year ago.
