Background

In May 2019, Karnivool revealed that they had been in the process of recording their fourth studio album. [1] [2]

Promotion and release

On 10 December 2021, Karnivool released the single "All It Takes", produced by Forrester Savell. It is the band's first studio release since Asymmetry in 2013. [3]

In late June 2025 Karnivool released the stand-alone single "Drone", their first new music since 2021's "All It Takes". [4] The track was produced by longtime collaborator Forrester Savell and described by the band as “the sound of Karnivool entering a new era — a slow-cooked journey forged in the studio’s heat, where every note was tested and tempered”. [5] Issued ahead of the band’s Ad Complementum Australian tour, "Drone" was promoted as the first preview of their long-gestating fourth studio album. [6] [7] Said album, In Verses, was officially announced in September 2025. [8] A music video for the song "Opal" was released on 17 December 2025 alongside the announcement that the album would be released on 6 February 2026. [9]
