The Karma Effect
A five-piece formed in South London during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, The Karma Effect craft a bluesy, vintage-inflected hard rock sound built around big choruses, Hammond organ, and the raw, soulful vocals of Henry Gottelier. Their self-released self-titled debut (2022) led to extensive festival appearances, and the follow-up The Promised Land on Earache Records unexpectedly broke into the Top 20 of the UK Albums Chart while topping the UK Rock and Metal Albums Chart. A third album, Cruel Intentions, was announced for Earache Records in May 2026.
