The Karma Effect announce new album ‘Promised Land’

THE KARMA EFFECT have announced a new album!

Titled Promised Land, the upcoming album from the UK hard rock band is the follow-up to last year’s self-titled debut album, and is scheduled to be released in May next year, via Earache Records.

Recorded at MRC Studios and The Hive Studios with Michael Charman, the album was built on escapism from start to finish. Speaking about the album, the band says, “when we were creating the album, it felt like we had found our own bubble of utopia – nothing in the outside world mattered in those moments. That’s exactly what we want to offer anyone who takes the time to listen to the album.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, THE KARMA EFFECT have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Livin’ It Up.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Henry Gottelier says, “the song refers to people in power taking advantage of the everyday person, and feeding off of that. Lyrics such as ‘they’ll be breaking your back, fill their pockets from the stack of every little bit of joy I’m owed.’ The song is about not letting ‘the man’ get you down, and having a good time regardless. During the writing process for this album, we were massively inspired by the album Pump by AEROSMITH, and loved the a cappella vocal that you hear at the end of Love In An Elevator, so we wanted to add that in to our album somewhere – the start of Livin’ It Up just felt right.”
