In 2006, █ █ he started experimenting on some songs with Mina █ █ G., a charismatic mezzo-soprano, full of karmic █ █ ideas. The link was established and the result was █ █ mixed and mastered in the famous Tico Tico studios █ █ in Finland. So sinnersàbeware. Karmic Link so far █ █ consists of Mediterranean energy, doses of █ █ industrial coldness, atmospheric landscapes, █ █ progressive bits, instrumental madness, dark pop █ █ tunes, electro breakdowns, funky grooves and hard █ █ rock pentatonic moments. █ █ ôKarmic Link is promoting thought-provoking █ █ concepts, ideas, heretic, and hermetic █ █ philosophies to explain todayÆs chaotic world and █ █ the dystopian times to come in a globally █ █ connected worldàKarmic Link is the bitter yet █ █ powerful sound of our personal lifeÆs soundtrack █ █ filled with anxiety for the future ruled by █ █ technology.ö Stathis Kassios █ █ The groupÆs debut album ôNo Light but Rather █ █ Darkness Visibleö was released in 2008 and the █ █ concept behind this intriguing title, is █ █ questioning the Eastern vs Western modern conflict █ █ but from a metaphysical point of view. Guest █ █ musicians on the CD include Bob Katsionis █ █ (Firewind), who recorded and performed all rhythm █ █ and lead guitars, and Jani Liimatainen (Sonata █ █ Arctica), who laid down leads on one of the two █ █ instrumental songs of the album. █ █ Although coming from a warm Mediterranean country, █ █ Greece, Stathis Kassios embarked on a █ █ life-changing trip in 2008 in cold Sweden where he █ █ met Evan Hensley coming from Nashville, Tennessee █ █ and Kim Kimbo Gustavsson who is Swedish. The 3 █ █ musicians started jamming and working together █ █ with great success in System ShockÆs ôUrban Rageö █ █ album and Karmic LinkÆs thought-provoking concept █ █ studio album æÆEsotericaÆÆ released in 2010. █ █ Karmic LinkÆs new album Dark Metropolis (2018) is █ █ an album sourcing musicianship from Greece, █ █ Norway, and USA, different cultures bound together █ █ to offer an alternative metal experience! █ █ Line-up: Stathis Kassios (ex-keyboard player of █ █ SwedenÆs System Shock and of GreeceÆs Nightfall), █ █ Evan Hensley (guitar, bass) (ex-Nightfall, Dark █ █ Hound), hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, USA and █ █ Sweden's Kim "Kimbo" Gustavsson (drums, guitar) █ █ currently based in Oslo (Norway). █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1.
