Kill Ritual have released their 3^rd album, entitled Karma Machine. The band’s received a number of accolades for their aggressive form of Traditional/Thrash/Modern Metal, however, the Kill Machine “of old” has changed drastically leading in to Karma Machine, with a new vocalist (David Reed Watson), drummer (Koryun Bobikyan), and bassist (Bobby HQ Storm).

Regardless, this is guitarist Steven D. Rice’s band, who invoked the production talents of Andy LaRocque of King Diamond fame. Karma Machine has all of the Kill Ritual elements from their past 2 efforts, but something seems to be missing to make this an eye opening effort.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
