The Australian progressive metal band Karnivool is set to release their latest studio album, titled In Verses, on February 6, 2026. Released under Cymatic Records, the album marks a significant return for the group, which has been influential in the progressive metal landscape since the late 2000s. The release features a shift toward exploring new sonic territories while maintaining the band’s hallmark of non-conventional structures and intricate melodies.
Featured compositions on the album include Opal, Aozora, and Drone. The latter is described by the band as a slow-paced journey inspired by the atmospheric weight of the Western Australian deserts, built upon foundational rock riffs. The album comprises ten tracks in total and has been positioned as a defining moment in the group’s recent creative evolution.
