Themata, Karnivool's debut, came out on 7 February 2005, released by the Perth band themselves and distributed through MGM, and it sounds like a group that had spent seven years sharpening its knives. By 2004 the lineup had settled: Ian Kenny singing, Drew Goddard and Mark Hosking on guitars, Jon Stockman on bass and Steve Judd on drums.

The sound splits the difference between post-grunge heft and progressive metal ambition, with riffs that lurch in odd shapes and Kenny's voice floating clean over the churn instead of barking at it. "L1FEL1KE" went out as a single back in 2003, with the title track and "Shutterspeed" following in 2005. The record took its time crossing oceans: Bieler Bros. put it out in the US in April 2007 and Happy Go Lucky issued it in the UK in May 2008. Sound Awake came next.
