Karma To Burn
Karma To Burn (1997)
In 1997 Karma To Burn released their self-titled debut album on Roadrunner Records. Now in 2022 Heavy Psych Sounds is repressing this legendary release on CD again! "Dirty, fat '70s Sabbath riffs coupled with brooding, eerie vocals generate a foreboding atmosphere that is Karma To Burn's distinct and excellent 1997 self-titled debut. Any forays into their subsequent releases may be met with disappointment as they are almost entirely instrumental, more one dimensional and lacking atmosphere. The '90s saw a '70s Sabbath inspired stoner rock and metal grooves and blues movement. Karma To Burn's sound is most reminiscent of C.O.C. and Down. Whilst Kyuss take you on an odyssey through the desert and beyond, Karma To Burn ventures underground and explores the darker side of humanity. This is a flawless album which moves effortlessly from track to track with each song containing seamless transitions between light and shade. Karma To Burn remains a laid back journey with an underlying seediness and tension as you take in an array of sights from the criminal underworld and serial killers to wild sex parties, and then onto ancient Indian burial grounds. This is what the music has evoked in my mind anyway." ~Sputnikmusic.com.
