MEEPISODE 60:
Karma to Burn are a unique entry into the Roadrunner catalog - an INSTRUMENTAL band...who release a non-instrumental album on Roadrunner.
K2B started as all riffs and no vocals but when Howie Abrams signed them to tha label, expectations were that they'd get a frontman to bring their message to tha MASSED and as you'll hear...that was easier said than done.
Their incredibly talented leader Will Mecum unfortunately passed away in 2021. This album however lives on whether he likes it or not & we have his partner in literal crime Rich Mullins to take us from the beginning to... Well you'll see where it goes.
We're also joined once again by tha man Howie Abrams to tell us about one of his final projects for RR, how he helped them release tha fully instrumental follow-up with his friend Peter Nussbaum, and Karma being courted by a member of Metallica!
This saga featured John Garcia of Kyuss fame temporarily being their vocalist, Nick Oliveri of Queens of tha Stoneage fame being around for it, working with producer Steve Haigler, and finally...a new Karma to Burn album in the works!!!
