KARMA TO BURN Announce New Album Arch Stanton; Streaming Track “57”
June 25, 2014, 10 years ago
The heart of the Karma To Burn beast pumps from West Virginia once more. The instrumental rock titans Karma To Burn return in full force with their long player Arch Stanton. From their first album, released in 1997 through Roadrunner Records, to this, their latest, the band have never moved away from the rhythmic rock that has seen them receive cult status over the years.
Returning with a riff heavy, progressive and purely instrumental record reminiscent of early highlights Wild Wonderful Purgatory and Almost Heathen, Arch Stanton delivers seven monumental new tracks and resurrects a track from their vaults, “23”, a classic number never before heard, sounding as fresh as ever for this record. Energy and spirit are back at an ultimate level; one has never seen a more powerful Karma To Burn.
Arch Stanton is a true return to those West Virginia roots. Backed by spiritualism, mysticism, and unrelenting grooves - the band have truly harnessed the spirit of the riff-rock ritual once again.
The band likes to pay their dues on the big stages - and they have done many times - but home is where it's dark, packed and (very) loud. 20 years of rock 'n' roll history in its purest and most authentic form, resisting every compromise has left them feeling more alive than ever.
