The sixth album from this band from Tunisia.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Some guests added guitars, strings and woodwinds.
The band is a pioneering band when it comes to blending power/prog metal with North-African and Arabic folk music... and pop music.
The band continues with this blend on the fifty minutes long Karma.
The difference is that the folk music has been watered out with some more North-African pop music. The progressive metal has also largely gone, replaced by heavy and goth metal.
The music is not as intricate and complex as on previous releases. The band has mostly ditched their power metal too.
The vocals is very good and the strings and the simplified songs makes the music pretty catchy. Catchy but not as good as on the previous album.
There is still some good stuff here. But there is not enough of that here. Hence..
2.5 points
