Karnivool are without a doubt a metal band. I wish to add them here, but am stuck for what genre they would best belong to. They definitely have prog metal elements, but I can sort of hear some alt metal in there.
Coincidently, wikipedia has both labels attached to the band: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnivool Here's their myspace to judge yourselves: http://www.myspace.com/karnivool Official site: http://www.karnivool.com.au/ Edited by Stooge - 17 May 2010 at 3:58pm |

I�ve listened to their albums and I don�t think they are proggy enough to be called progressive metal. Alternative would be a much better fit. We�ve actually rejected them for progressive metal on PA. They were added to Heavy Prog instead if that�s any help.

Heavy Prog these days includes lots of 'modern prog' bands like The Mars Volta - meaning they are heavy, but not necessarily in a metal sense. I know that quite well, since I was a member of the HP team for a long time, and have evaluated my fair share of stuff like that.

I do think they belong here, but not in progressive metal.

I just picked up their album Sound Awake today, and was wondering if either the prog or alt metal team has given these guys a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Thumbs down for alt given as being a heavy rock band with very little metal elements, thread can be closed now.
