2008–2010: ''Sound Awake''

After touring in the US, Karnivool returned to Australia in 2008 and subsequently entered the studio to write their follow-up to ''Themata''. Goddard stated that the new album '' Sound Awake'' would be a huge progression from ''Themata'', while Stockman stated that the writing process of the new record was a collaborative effort by the band, in contrast to their previous work. Karnivool disclosed their new recording strategy for the second album: try to focus less on minute details and record a more natural-sounding album. The album was again produced and mixed by Savell. In a
interview
with Rock photographer and writer Stephen Lane, guitarist Mark Hosking said the band had mixed the album at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne, however, had recorded the tracking at locations all over Perth. This was done to save money, but also out of convenience due to other projects each band member had going at the time. The interview also revealed that the band had recorded drums first, then guitars, then bass, then synths, layers and so on. This was a diversion from the usual Drums, Bass, Guitar method in the past. The band continued to tour Australia, including the

Two Melbourne shows and a Sydney show quickly sold out, unprecedented in Karnivool's history, and further shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth were consequently announced.

and word-of-mouth, in a July 2013 interview:

That was incredible. We've played a lot of Western countries but to go to a place like India, you know, all we thought we had in common was cricket but I was very wrong. That was our first show there. We didn't even have a release or anything. We didn't even realise we had a following there, then we announced the show and all these messages started coming back through social media ... Having a beer in the hotel room afterwards, we were like "What the hell? Did that actually happen?"

2011–2018: ''Asymmetry''

Sometime after returning to Australia in September, the band planned to begin writing material for a third album. Hosking reiterated this, stating the band plans on demoing songs for the third album at this time, and described the material as, "...a departure from ''Sound Awake'' whilst still holding all the principles that make for a Karnivool album." In March 2011, Karnivool announced three shows in their native Western Australia, commenting: "These shows will be the last of the Sound Awake era, as well as a possible pointer of things to come." At these shows they debuted a new song "The Refusal" and Goddard stated that the band was working in the studio on their third album. The tour continued throughout the rest of Australia, and later in the year the band toured India for the

in December 2011. On 21 March 2012, the "Melodias Frescas" Australian tour was announced and the band confirmed that new material would be played during the tour. The band played 16 sold-out theatre shows around Australia, with support from Melbourne's Redcoats and Sydney instrumental group sleepmakeswaves. The band returned to India in November 2012 for some additional shows and, during the same period, announced that they were recording their third album at 301 studios in Byron Bay, Australia. The band toured Australia again in December 2012, performing shows in Wollongong and Sydney before the Pyramid Festival for New Year's Eve. In April 2013, the band announced that they had entered the mixing phase of the third album with producer Nick Didia, while on 16 May 2013, the band's management Fidelity Corporation stated: "Spending the night watching the new Karnivool doco and listening to the new Karnivool album." On 19 May 2013, the studio version of "The Refusal" was premiered on Australian radio station Triple J—the song became available as a free download on the radio station's website the following day and members of the band's mailing list received the download later in the week. The band's first Australian show for the year was at Western Australia's "State of the Art" festival on 2 June 2013 at the Perth Concert Hall, and the festival's promotional material stated that a "global premiere" of the band's new single would occur at the event. A music video directed by Chris Frey was filmed in April 2013, but the name of the song was not disclosed at the time that the production information was made available. On 14 June 2013, the Frey-directed music video was released and the song is called "We Are". The band also revealed the title, track list and cover art for their third album, entitled ''Asymmetry''. Triple J aired the radio debut of the six-minute-long "We Are" on the "Doctor" programme and Kenny explained to one of the station's announcers: "''Asymmetry'' really harks to what we try to do musically as a band. Light and dark. Exploration. Sometimes we go too far and we get lost, so we backtrack a bit and find exactly what we're looking for." Speaking with Simon Collins of ''The West Australian'' newspaper, Goddard explained that the recording process is difficult for the band and despite efforts to try and shorten the duration between albums, the band has managed to release three albums in fifteen years:

It's something we grapple with all the time. We try to speed it up and make the frequency of album releases a lot faster. We're completely mystified by the songwriting process, and that's the bottom line for us - we don't know what we're doing. We don't. It feels like it's out of our control a lot of the time.

''Asymmetry'' was released on 19 July 2013 and a deal was secured with Density Records for the US region. The album debuted in the number 1 position of the Australian ARIA chart. Following the receipt of an ARIA award for ''Asymmetry'' (the first time the band has won an ARIA award), Goddard stated in a January 2014 interview that "it's he ARIA awardjust one of those things where it's almost like it validates us in other people's eyes." Goddard further explained that the album was created as a reaction to his perception of a current musical trend, whereby "even heavy progressive music to me is losing a lot of the human characteristics, gridlocking everything and cutting out all the air between the guitar, the strums, and all that". Goddard announced that the band would undertake a national Australian tour with Dead Letter Circus and sleepmakeswaves during January 2014. He and Mark Hosking appear in the 2014
