The crowd is full of vim and vigour this night, ravenous for Karnivool’s music and presence.

It is a biting autumn evening around Moore Park as the crowd filter in for the glorious return of Perth's prog metal poster-boys Karnivool.

It takes a special kind of nerve to accept the support slot on a show like this where the one-eyed and dedicated are out in force with little patience for distraction beyond the headliner.
