KRASHKARMA – Falling To Pieces: When Two Become a Metal Monster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4qEINeZddA
Let’s face it, metal needs more chaos. More energy. More balls . Enter KRASHKARMA , the L.A.-based duo labeled as “The White Stripes of Metal” and honestly, they’ve earned it.
Since 2009, Niki Skistimas (drums, vocals) and Ralf Dietel (guitar, bass, vocals) have been tearing up stages with over 600 shows under their belt and four full-length albums already behind them. Their latest, Falling to Pieces (June 2023 via Rockshots Records), is just another chapter in their story of loud, raw, and utterly unforgettable rock ’n’ roll.
What makes them special? Well, for starters, Niki isn’t just a drummer: she’s the heartbeat and the soul. Her voice swings from soothing to sinister, and her rhythms hit like a hurricane you can’t escape. Ralf? He plays his custom-built “Frankenstein” guitar-bass hybrid like it owes him money. The man doesn’t just shred, he owns the strings.
They’re not trying to fit into a genre. They’re creating one. Think hard rock, heavy metal, punk attitude, and alt-rock sensibility all wrapped in a two-piece explosion. And yeah, that’s rare. That’s bold. That’s KRASHKARMA .
Their discography reads like a journey:
Straight to the Blood (2010)
Paint the Devil (2015)
Morph (2018)
Falling to Pieces (2023)
With millions of YouTube views, tens of thousands of fans, and a sound that refuses to be boxed in, these two are on the rise and they’re not slowing down.
I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for bands that don’t play by the rules. KRASHKARMA don’t need a big crew. Just one mic, one drum kit, and one hell of a riff machine. That kind of simplicity? It’s dangerous. It’s real. It’s what makes music live forever.
So go listen. Go rage. And remember: sometimes, less is more… until it’s not.
