Karma Hitlist

Featuring Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh from Orgy, Julien-K blend dark dystopian atmospheres with thick, distorted synths, gritty guitars, and emotionally charged vocals, crafting a signature mix of industrial intensity and sleek electronic hooks. Known for their deep fan connection and immersive visual-audio world, they fuse goth, synth-pop, and rock into genre-bending sonic art with lasting underground appeal. NITE was formed by Canadian-born twin brothers Kyle and Myles Mendes, who grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and later moved to Texas. The duo began writing and releasing music together at the age of fifteen. They initially performed under the name Nighttime Eyes, which was later shortened to NITE. Currently, they reside in Denton, Texas, and are joined by drummer Phil Helms for live performances Karma Hitlist vocalist Ty Elam’s musical pedigree runs deep; he previously fronted Videodrone, a band signed to Korn’s Elementree Records alongside Orgy and Deadsy. Videodrone evolved from Cradle of Thorns, previously signed to Triple X Records. Additionally, Ty lent his talents to Sex Art’s sole release, alongside Jonathan Davis of Korn, Ryan Shuck of Orgy/Julien-K, and Dave Deroo of Adema. Hailing from Bakersfield California, Elam along with Mike Montano on Bass, Ryan Vaughan on Guitar, and Maddix Wilson on drums, deliver a poignant mix of raw energy and are positioning Karma Hitlist to be a burgeoning force on the rock scene. Drug For Joy’s sound blends elements of industrial rock, alternative, and experimental pop, with tracks like Girlfriend, Let’s Do Sex, and Tears showcasing a mix of melodic hooks and darker, more atmospheric textures Last.fm. The style reflects frontman Paige Haley’s background in Orgy’s industrial sound while adding a more personal, intimate edge.
