I got a ticket for the show in London! Last time I went to the o2 Forum KT, back in June last year, I saw STP. Happy days 😎

Yes, that's why the Darkglass pedal is called Alpha Omega (Ultra) 🙂

I will be going to Glasgow show I think. Pending the obvious...

Hopefully they have a new album out by then. It has been about 7 years since the last one.

Yes, really hope so. The tour is called "The Regeneration Tour". Let's hope that this is the name of the new album. 8 years (if released in 2021) is a very long time, but, hey it took Tool 13 years, so maybe we all should just be a bit more patient 😎

I really liked the second album, but found the third really hard to listen to!

Expand  

Yes, the third one is a bit more difficult to get into. However, it still does have some great songs such as "We are", "Aeons", "Sky Machine", "Alpha Omega" and "Eidolon".

I especially like this version of "We are" (starts at 1:12):

I Love Karnivool.  Superbly tight rhythm section, Jon Stockman's tone is one of the best fitting sounds at present in the hard rock  / metal genre for my money.

The man himself has some good Youtube play alongs  - mainly advertising Darkglass gear.

My current go to sound is based around the Jon Stockman patch for the Hx Stomp from Jon Willis, Dr Tone Secret Helix Lab.

Tempted to get a ticket myself.......

A band like Vola would be amazing

Maybe fellow Perth proggers Voyager? They're fantastic. They also nearly represented Australia in Eurovision last year!

They have a brilliant bass player in Alex Canion too. Gets awesome tones out of his Mayones basses.

Interesting that you mention Voyager as in all the years they have been around and in all the albums they have released, I only learned about them a few weeks ago - and I love 'em!!!! Brilliant. Dead Letter Circus, Karnivool, Soen, Voyager, VOLA - I really like the big atmospherics and melodies with chunky guitar carnage underneath. Which of course means Devin Townsend gets a mention. I've a massive soft spot of David Maxim Micic, absolutely brilliant.

Yes, Dead Letter Circus are pretty good too. Oz has so many amazing (prog) bands, maybe I should move there?
