some pairings just make sense: summer and beer,
chocolate and banana, hall and oates, rock and roll. You
just don't need to even think about whether it's right or
not. Karnivool are BeYoND pleased to announce the
`polymorphism' tour 2014, teaming up with their old
friends and sparring partners Dead Letter Circus to tread
the boards, visit some old hunting grounds and move
some air in the best way possible, soaring guitars and a
giant bottom end. Both bands released albums worldwide
this year which debuted high on the arIa charts (1 and
2 respectively). Both have been touring the world a lot of
this year without enough time spent at home with friends
and family. This tour is all about friends and family, as well
as fans, as the question most asked of both bands is "when
are you dudes going to tour together again?"
since debuting at #1 on the arIa chart in july with
their 3rd album Asymmetry, Karnivool have been hard at it.
Now a major international draw, they've already appeared
at a string of major european festivals this year including

Tokyo). asymmetry joins previous albums Themata (2005)

only took 10 days!
after sold out-shows in australia, last month Dead
Letter Circus grabbed their round-the-world tickets and
headlined Krank'd up Festival in south africa, toured the
uK and europe on a co-headline run with Monuments,

California on their North american tour with periphery.
returning to home shores for a heavily requested tour
with great friends Karnivool over summer, vocalist Kim
Benzie said "This is a line-up that has been talked about for
years that no-one thought would ever be possible. we can't
wait!"
