Today, West Virginia’s favorite instrumental stoner rock perpetrators, KARMA TO BURN, kick off a monolithic live adventure! Slated to launch this evening in Akron, Ohio at Ripper’s Rock House, the band will bring their blues-laden, glassy-eyed grooves and bong-ripping, riff-roaring decadence to nearly three dozen metropolises across the US and Canada, with the lengthy expedition coming to a resonating close in their home state at 123 Pleasant Street in Morgantown on February 13th. The band will be joined by special guests, Canadian riff rockers, Sierra.
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, and finally available domestically TODAY (also via 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 never before heard number, recorded for the first time ever.

“A thrilling and explosive ride… [that] firmly puts KARMA TO BURN at the forefront of instrumental stoner rock. On this form, no one comes even close.” – The Sludgelord
“The riffs on this album are absolutely jaw-dropping.” – New Noise Magazine
“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.” – This Is Not A Scene
“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.” – The Signal
“KARMA TO BURN didn’t waste any time kicking my ass with their newest stoner metal sentinel,Arch Stanton so I won’t waste any time boring you with a history lesson about West Virginia’s shameful, smokey secret, KARMA TO BURN. All you need to know is that these guys are the best at what they do.” – Crown Of Viserys
“The lo-fi sound and buzzsaw guitars make this record a keeper, but the thumping rhythm section makes it great.” – Glacially Musical
