Karmic Jera -- interesting moniker this
one -- how about
replacing the Karmic with Kosmic? Well just a thought, nothing wrong with Karmic...
just that I don't know what it means. I guess I ain't up on my Middle Eastern
lingo these days. But the "Cosmic" fits 'cause these guys are
doing the Zombie thing -- Astro-creeps and other assorted sci-fi
uprisings -- besides their title and in a big way.
Blasting off and bound for deep
space, the tunes are lo-fi and groovy, supersonically structured and
occupants of a nu-breed of modern warfare... a metallic subterfuge laced with
static undercurrents... an occasional glance toward the big
"X" marking the spot, usually reserved and occupied by many.
These guys were the
happy recipients of Kerrang Magazine's "Win a Record
Deal" competition and whaddya know, they won it --
impressive indeed considering the thousands of entrants involved.
KJ embrace technology without submerging
in it to the point where they arise wrinkled and pale -- the riffs are raw
and twisted, the songs faithful to the Nu-Metal style, mixing in
plenty o' modernity, industrialized aggro-intent with a bit of the
Reznor polish. But mostly we're crossing bones with Rob Zombie and his PM5K
brethren for an abrasive, sometimes addictive and melodious journey
into a cyber world of strange frequencies and Goth oddities.
