This article is about the stoner metal group. For the album by The Waterboys, see Karma to Burn (album).

Karma to Burn is a desert rock/stoner metal band from Morgantown, West Virginia comprising guitarist William Mecum, bassist Rich Mullins and drummer Rob Oswald.

The band were noted for their uncompromising instrumental sound, echoing that of such desert rock bands as Kyuss and the Obsessed, although the band's preferred genre is "malternative".^[1]

The band unofficially disbanded sometime in mid-2002, when bassist Rich Mullins joined Speedealer. As of 2008, Mullins was playing in the Los Angeles based band Year Long Disaster, Oswald was the drummer in Nebula, and Will Mecum was playing guitar for Treasure Cat.

As of February 23, 2009 - Karma to Burn has reformed to play a US and European tour. ^[2] This includes playing the Download Festival. [1] New songs have been written and a new lp is anticipated.
