Karnivool have recently signed a new management deal with Paul Sloan and Heath Bradby of Fidelity Corp, and are looking forward to securing an international release of their debut album, Themata. Meanwhile, the band are in the process of writing new material for their forthcoming second studio album, which is due for release in Australia sometime during late 2006 or early 2007.

In a recent interview with Xpress magazine, Karnivool guitarist Andrew Goddard has stated that the upcoming album will be a huge step up from Themata. He also says that the writing process of the new record has been more of a a collaborative group effort by the band than previous works, and that they are going to go into the studio with a new recording strategy: that is, trying to focus less on the minute details, and put together a more natural sounding album.

On August 23, 2006, it was announced that Karnivool had signed a licensing deal with Bieler Bros. Records - an independent record label based in Florida USA. The deal ensures that Themata will be released in North America, Mexico, Japan and the UK in early 2007.[1][2]
