Karnivool // We Are - one man band cover by Chad Blondel

Recorded @ Chad Blondel Productions, Perth Western Australia
This started out as just a way to test a new kit in my new studio live room, but I got carried away and decided to do the other parts too, probably after seeing Karnivool at Metro City.
All the sounds are made by me, mostly one continuous take. Bass video is out of sync but I couldn't be bothered fixing it.
Enjoy, and make sure you listen to the real thing as this is just a cover of one of the best bands out there.

Drew Goddard (Karnivool) & myself did this Bon Iver cover together :) Check it out! ruclips.net/video/VBEqgjjNMLU/видео.html

[@RabeaMassaad]

this is awesome.... hats off man, Karnivool are probably my favourite band. And i really enjoyed this :-)
Why do you have to live in Australia, i need a vocalist like you for my project hahah :-)

[@ChadBlondel]

Hey mate I was talking to Drew (Karnivool) last night and he mentioned this comment. All these years of watching your videos and I never made the connection that this was from you :) My loss for sure, but I'm still up for a colab if you are, albeit 7 years later.

[@korey08]

man... your vocals are 10/10 not only the execution of this song, but the tone.. it simply sounds amazing

[@big1665]

I really love Karnivool. And it is really difficult to make a cover that is liked by fans of the actual band. Kudos to you, because you totally did it! I mean, just the fact that you recorded it in one take (per instrument). That is some sick skill.

[@SuLouw]

Wow! Well done! You have a great voice

[@JamesDixon]

Awesome, great to see a multi-talented musician lay it down. Great voice as well :)

[@rebelduck9077]

I'm blown away at your vocals! Your control, rhythm and pitch are beautiful. Almost have Kenny perfected....much love from Wisconsin, USA!

[@japer2]

Dude props having the balls to cover karnivool in the first place. Well done man, sounds pretty f'n awesome!

[@satyakirockstar]
