The Karma Effect - Cruel Intentions
Release Date: 15 May 2026

Fast-rising South London rockers The Karma Effect are soon to release their eagerly-awaited forthcoming third album ‘Cruel Intentions’.
The band came together quietly born in the pandemic. Vocalist Henry Gottelier and guitarist Robbie Blake could hear in their heads how they wanted the project to sound. Their organic, rootsy, eponymously-titled 2022 debut was followed by 2024’s show-stopping surprise Top 20 album ‘Promised Land’.
Although some line-up changes occurred in the background (which saw Nathan Keevil join them on bass, Alan Taylor on drums, and Tom Pitt on keys), a turn of events that could have left them on shaky ground has instead been spun into a silver lining. Brimming with energy and fresh perspectives, the newly assembled line-up nailed down what would become ‘Cruel Intentions’ in July 2025.
The new album is a collection which captures the visceral atmosphere of the band’s lauded live performances and is without a doubt the most complete, crystal clear realisation of the band’s ambitions yet, with leaner, louder, heavier and joyously larger-than-life. Lyrically, it explores notions of love, lust and danger, with dark passion and flashes of cheekiness, maintaining a fine balance of swagger and wit.
Singer Henry Gottelier says, "This album is the culmination of everything we have. While collaborating again with producer Michael Charman, we brought in Mercury and GRAMMY nominated Romesh Dodangoda specifically for the mix, because we were obsessed with making every single note count. The result is a sound so big, it’s a stadium experience for your ears".
The Karma Effect "The Karma Effect"
Debut de la banda Londinenca de Rock Clàssic que em recorden a una barreja entre Koritni, The Answer i Bad Touch.
8 temes correctes, amb un so potent però mancats de personalitat, el que ens farà preguntar: jo no havia sentit aquesta banda abans?. I és que es varen formar poc abans de la pandèmia, així que poder et confons amb altre/s.
Res brillant...res dolent...32' de Rock per sentir, sense buscar-li més, amb un slow-soul final, a l'estil Kotzen.

Scarlet Rebels-The Karma Effect-Before The Storm-Live Review-Buckley Tivoli-Planetmosh.
I’ve been to many a great gig at the Tivoli in Buckley since the mid/late eighties and this three band bill headlined by the Scarlet Rebels is easily in my top five. A stand point of mine from watching bands since 1980 is to always watch the support bands and what better way to prove that is by catching the two supports last night. Before The Storm opened the show with a very impressive seven…
