Instrumental heavy pioneers Karma to Burn — who draw the straightest line from here to rock that you’ll ever see –teamed up with UK progressive heavy outfit Sons of Alpha Centauri for a split single back in 2009, and I guess it must have been a pretty pleasant experience. They’ve decided to make a sequel.

Containing Karma to Burn‘s “53” and Sons of Alpha Centauri‘s “71” (it was “14” and “65” last time around), the new split is out on Germany’s H42 Records. Sons of Alpha Centauri, in addition to the prior split with Karma to Burn, also released a split in 2009 with KTB guitarist Will Mecum‘s Treasure Cat trio, so the two units are no strangers, and for Karma to Burn, this marks the latest in a string of non-album releases since 2012’s V that also includes a self-titled 2013 EP, two live records and an instrumental re-recording of their first album, dubbed Slight Reprise.

PR wire details and a video teaser follow:
