Karnivool Releasing Discography On Vinyl
My love for vinyl is becoming somewhat of an obsession. There’s something about holding a record and appreciating the artwork that truly appeals to me. It’s like some people I know who are proud collectors of VHS or cassette tapes. We all have our little hobbies and this just so happens to be mine.
Another passion of mine is music, which is probably a pretty obvious statement but I have to make it clear that I really love music. Give me a suggestion and I’ll try it out, simply because I crave hearing new things.
A band that I was recommended a few years ago and have since become a huge fan of is Australia’s alt/prog rock band Karnivool. I started with Sound Awake, moved back into Themata, and then got drawn into the stunning Asymmetry.
So when the band announced that they’d be finally releasing their albums on vinyl, I kinda screamed in joy. These were albums that I’ve been wanting to own on wax for a while. And on December 26th, I get to pre-order them all so that I can receive them in April.
The albums will be re-mastered on 180g 2xLP with gatefold sleeves and lyrics printed on the inside. Pictures of the records can be seen below.

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
