Karma To Burn - Karma To Burn (CD)

Karma To Burn:  Morgantown, West Virginia.

Karma to Burn is a desert rock / psychedelic rock band from Morgantown, West Virginia founded by guitarist William Mecum, bassist Rich Mullins and drummer Nathan Limbaugh.

The band unofficially disbanded sometime in mid-2002, when bassist Rich Mullins joined Speedealer. As of February 23, 2009, Karma to Burn has reformed and resumed activity.

On April 29, 2021, the last remaining founding member Will Mecum died from injuries sustained from an accidental fall.

"Dirty, fat 70’s 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 90’s saw a 70’s 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
