After Themata, the album debuted back in April 2005 that single-handedly set a new benchmark for heavy rock in this country and others, Karnivool finally presents to you their latest album – Sound Awake, a very interesting album where every song takes its own path, irrespective of convention or traditional structure. From the leviathan-sized bass growl of opener Simpleboy, to the lurching groove, belching bottom end and jazz-metal stylings of Goliath (our favorite), it’s immediately clear that the wait is worthed and Karnivool have stepped things up a notch, both musically and sonically. You can find out more about them at their official website, be sure you check out their latest album at youtube to see it for yourself if we are right or not. And be sure to order your copy at Omega Order. Rock on~

Onitsuka Tiger re-introduce an archival model with their Lay Up 72. Innovative at the time, the Lay Up 72’s defining characteristics were the coming together of both nylon and vulcanized production. The 2010 releases are based off of some originals taken from the Onitsuka Tiger headquarters dating back almost 40 years ago. The ability to handle the original style gave the current design team the change to reproduce the sneakers accurately.
