The English band Karmic Jera is now about to release their
debut album and they have kind of an unusual story behind it. They actually
won their record deal with Dream Catcher Records in a contest last year that
was arranged by the well-known magazine Kerrang. They claim to have been
inspired by bands like Static X, White Zombie and Nine Inch Nails but I would
like to add a little Rammstein to that because they have taken use of that
heavy industrial sound as well on their first album. The most obvious
influence is still White Zombie and perhaps this is why some reviewers have
been less positive about the album. The album title doesn't really help them
in that aspect either... I found them very enjoyable myself but just like
Static X they tend to repeat themselves a little too much. Apart from the
heavy Rammstein/Static X riffs that come and go in most tracks there are also
some nice melodies to be found here and there. The vocals are not the most
impressive I've heard this year but Karmic Jera has still managed to create a
very nice debut album. I haven't heard that many new bands this year that
impressed me at all but Karmic Jera is one of them together with Alas, The
Forsaken, Elvenking, Nightshade, Falconer, Signs Of Darkness and Zyklon. They
do have the capability to improve
though.
