Karma to Burn

Karma to Burn was an American instrumental stoner rock band. The band was formed in 1994, in Hicksville, WV.

Their instrumental album Almost Heathen is widely regarded as on par Kyuss' Welcome To Sky Valley and Monster Magnet's Spine of God, as one of the defining albums of the stoner rock genre, although the band themselves referred to their style as malternative.

The band was renown for their live performances and former Kyuss singer John Garcia was a big fan and even tried to sing with the band, however this didn't bear much fruit as he did not have the time to become a full-time member and Karma to Burn itself wasn't sure his voice fitted in their music.

Karma To Burn refused to give their songs ordinary titles, instead referring to them by numbers, which allegedly denoted the order in which they were written by the band.

The group quietly disbanded in 2002 after bassist Rich Mullins left to play full time in Speedealer.

Line-up:

William Mecum (guitar): now in Treasure Cat.
Rich Mullins (bass guitar): left to play in Speedealer, now plays in Year Long Disaster.
Nathan Limbaugh (drums)
Rob Oswald: now plays in Nebula.
