Karmaflow: The Rock Opera videogame is part of the multidisciplinary project Karmaflo. The aim of the project is to unite music, games and theater in a unique way, experimenting with sung interactive narrative. The music of the game, now available as a soundtrack, features international singers from bands such as Dragonforce, Cradle of Filth, Epica, Sonata Arctica, Arch Enemy and more. The symphonic sound of the score is brought by the Dutch Metropole Orkest. The album will be released on November 25th.

Karmaflow is the result of years of hard work by composer Ivo van Dijk (Xystus, Equilibrio) and his team. Completely self-financed, self-produced and self-released, van Dijk and his team created a beast of a musical album alongside a full-fledged videogame. The Karmaflow team has finally found the time to start collaborating with Graviton Music Services and make the physical version of the album available to the audience.

In Karmaflow, the game’s story is presented entirely in the form of a rock opera, sung by some of the world’s most talented rock voices. The sung narrative itself has real depth and cover fascinating themes such as balance and contradictions.
