West Virginia instrumental stoner rock legends, KARMA TO BURN , will bring their bong-ripping riffery and glassy-eyed grooves to the stage on a mammoth live expedition. Scheduled to launch on January 7th, 2015 in Ohio, the band will crumble thirty-three stages across the US and Canada, coming to a close in their home state on February 13th, 2015 . KARMA TO BURN will be joined by special guests, Canadian riff rockers, Sierra. In the meantime, turn up and tune out to the sounds of KARMA TO BURN deafening London earlier this year.
KARMA TO BURN - guitarist Will Mecum, bassist Eric Clutter and drummer Evan Devine-- will be touring in support of their Arch Stanton long player. Unleashed in Europe this Summer via Switzerland-based Faba Records, Arch Stanton is the band's sixth studio album and third since reforming following their seven-year hiatus in 2009. Reminiscent of their now iconic Wild Wonderful Purgatory and Almost Heathen offerings, on Arch Stanton , KARMA TO BURN channels the true spirit of the riff rock ritual with seven monumental new shredders and "23," a classic number never before heard, re-recorded for the first time ever. Reaping widespread media adoration, The Sludgelord calls the Arch Stanton , "a thrilling and explosive ride," furthering that, "it firmly puts KARMA TO BURN at the forefront of instrumental stoner rock. On this form, no one comes even close." New Noise Magazine boasts, "The riffs on this album are absolutely jaw-dropping," while This Is Not A Scene contends, "if each of the eight tracks on here don't have you nodding your head, or at least tapping your feet, then you may actually be dead." Adds The Signal, "Throughout the record, volcanic riffs... surge and snap over winding, propulsive bass in sinister, darkened tones. Cymbals crash and fall in a savage dance around the pounding rhythms. Each instrument comes together for smoldering jam after smoldering jam... KARMA TO BURN re-proves their competency as a meat and potatoes stoner metal band."
