Rockshots Records – Karmic Link Posts Cyberpunk Lyric Video “The Tone of C”

Karmic Link return with a new cyberpunk video for the song “The Tone of C” from their album “Dark Metropolis”, which was released worldwide in 2018 by Rockshots Records.

As described by Stathis Kassios, mastermind and founder of Karmic Link:

“We are currently at SoundHouse Studios Athens where we are mixing our new, upcoming, 4th album. We are very excited about the result. The recordings of the guitars and bass took place at Twilight Cloud Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, by our guitarist Evan Hensley (ex-Nightfall, Dark Hound) and with a guest participation by ET Brown (Dark Hound).

As a necessary artistic break from the demands of our new album, we wanted to visualize one of the most alternative tracks -The Tone of C- from our previous album “Dark Metropolis”. This track does not contain any guitar solos or lead guitars on purpose. It balances sonically between dark metal, industrial, and rock ‘n’ roll, funk, electro, influences. We have been experimenting with each of our releases since 2006, the year Karmic Link was formed. We hope you will like the result! ”

Watch the new video here: https://youtu.be/mNkO1AdzSzk

Karmic Link‘s album “Dark Metropolis” was released on October 19th, 2018. The album features nine tracks of dark industrial coldness with Mediterranean energy along with atmospheric landscapes, progressive and instrumental madness, electro breakdowns plus hard rock pentatonic moments. The album is the third full length from the band to follow their two previous albums “Esoterica”(2010) and debut “No Light But Rather Darkness Visible”(2008).

Karmic Link was founded by Stathis Kassios (Nightfall, ex-System Shock) whom after a period of extensive recording and live experience wanted to give birth to a surrealistic musical project. The outcome has been a dose of dark industrial coldness with Mediterranean energy along with atmospheric landscapes, progressive and instrumental madness, electro breakdowns plus hard rock pentatonic moments.

Track Listing:
1. Random Phantom (3:09)
2. Dark Metropolis (3:39)
3. The Ton of C (3:23)
4. False Spots On The Highway (3:47)
5. Your Fire Will Burn For Centuries (4:00)
6. RiaMa (1:58)
7. Endless (4:03)
8. Lost Magic Alchemy (3:15)
9. Nostalgia (4:26)
Album Length: 31:44

KARMIC LINK Posts Guitar Playthrough “Lost Magic Alchemy”

New Album “Dark Metropolis” Out Now! via Rockshots Records

Karmic Link guitarist Evan Hensley has posted a new guitar playthrough for “Lost Magic Alchemy”, which is one of nine tracks off the band’s latest album “Dark Metropolis” released this past October via Rockshots Records. 

Watch it at the following link:

 

Evan Hensley (ex-Nightfall, Dark Hound), hailing from Nashville, Tennessee (USA), joined Karmic Link in 2009, taking up both guitar and bass duties with founding member Stathis Kassios (ex-keyboard player of Sweden’s System Shock and of Greece’s Nightfall), and Sweden’s Kim “Kimbo” Gustavsson (drums, guitar) currently based in Oslo (Norway).

The band’s latest album “Dark Metropolis” features nine tracks of dark industrial coldness with Mediterranean energy along with atmospheric landscapes, progressive and instrumental madness, electro breakdowns plus hard rock pentatonic moments. The album is the third full length from the band to follow their two previous albums “Esoterica”(2010) and debut “No Light But Rather Darkness Visible”(2008).

Stathis Kassios comments:

“Karmic Link is promoting thought-provoking concepts, ideas, heretic, and hermetic philosophies to explain today’s chaotic world and the Dystopian times to come in a globally connected world…Karmic Link is the bitter yet powerful sound of our personal life’s soundtrack filled with anxiety for the future ruled by technology.”

Karmic Link so far consists of mediterranean energy, doses of industrial coldness, atmospheric landscapes, progressive bits, instrumental madness, dark pop tunes, electro breakdowns, funky grooves and hard rock pentatonic moments. Karmic Link’s new album Dark Metropolis (2018) is an album sourcing musicianship from Greece, Norway and USA, different cultures bound together to offer an alternative metal experience!

Karmic Link so far consists of Mediterranean energy, doses of industrial coldness, atmospheric landscapes, progressive bits, instrumental madness, dark pop tunes, electro breakdowns, funky grooves and hard rock pentatonic moments.

“Karmic Link is promoting thought-provoking concepts, ideas, heretic, and hermetic philosophies to explain today’s chaotic world and the dystopian times to come in a globally connected world…Karmic Link is the bitter yet powerful sound of our personal life’s soundtrack filled with anxiety for the future ruled by technology.” Stathis Kassios

The group’s debut album “No Light but Rather Darkness Visible” was released in 2008 and the concept behind this intriguing title, is questioning the Eastern vs Western modern conflict but from a metaphysical point of view. Guest musicians on the CD include Bob Katsionis (Firewind), who recorded and performed all rhythm and lead guitars, and Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica), who laid down leads on one of the two instrumental songs of the album.

Although coming from a warm Mediterranean country, Greece, Stathis Kassios embarked on a life-changing trip in 2008 in cold Sweden where he met Evan Hensley coming from Nashville, Tennessee and Kim Kimbo Gustavsson who is Swedish. The 3 musicians started jamming and working together with great success in System Shock’s “Urban Rage” album and Karmic Link’s thought-provoking concept studio album ‘’Esoterica’’ released in 2010.

Karmic Link’s new album Dark Metropolis (2018) is an album sourcing musicianship from Greece, Norway, and USA, different cultures bound together to offer an alternative metal experience!

CDs and digital downloads available on Rockshots Records, iTunes, and Spotify.
