Shirlinda’s "Karma Is A Killer" is a haunting and evocative soundtrack for a horror film that reimagines Karma as a relentless killer, restoring balance between good and evil. Seamlessly blending electronic, dungeon synth, and dark synth influences, the album captures the moody essence of 80s horror soundtracks while adding a modern edge. The result is a mesmerizing auditory experience that mirrors the film’s themes of vengeance, morality, and cosmic justice.

Part instrumental and part vocal, the album divides its time between eerie soundscapes and haunting songs performed by Shirlinda herself. Her ethereal vocals narrate the story’s philosophical undertones, exploring the ambiguity of Karma’s actions and the line between justice and retribution. Instrumental tracks build tension with dark, brooding synths, atmospheric pads, and pulsating rhythms, evoking shadowy, fog-filled streets and neon-lit confrontations.

Standout tracks include "Karma Is A Killer Ad Introitum", a brooding opener that introduces the titular figure with ominous synth motifs and layered percussion, and "Vanished Beneath The Glowing Gloom", which alternates soaring vocals with dungeon synth arpeggios, reflecting the story’s internal and external conflicts. "We Are Burning Slow" serves as the climactic centerpiece, with relentless beats and electrifying basslines echoing the final confrontation.

Rich in atmosphere and inspired by 80s synth-driven scores, "Karma Is A Killer" is both a love letter to classic horror and a bold exploration of its themes. Fans of John Carpenter, Perturbator, and Carpenter Brut will find this album an unforgettable journey into the shadows of vengeance and redemption.

I grew up listening to all genres of music but was most influenced by electronic music. Today I create my own electronic music. I have no specific style. I flow with the beats I compose and hear magic appear before my ears. 

I’m not a DJ or anything. I really love all music genres. I am a musician. I play clarinet but my favorite instrument is the snare drum. I’ve been playing the snare drum since I was 12. When I graduated from high school I joined the Marine Corps as a percussionist. I love drum corps style snare drumming. 

I have a college degree in Physical Science. I’m a chemist but I can no longer work. I was permanently disabled from toxins while stationed on a military base. Today I sit at my computer and create music. It took so many years to figure out that music is my passion.
