KrashKarma is a duo based in Los Angeles that has toured all over the world in the past, and are currently part of Fozzy’s Save The World Tour. They released an 8-song EP called Storm in 2021, and have just released a new single called “Blind Faith”.
Ralf Dietel (vocals, guitar, bass) and Niki Skistamis (vocals, drums) are KrashKarma. This husband and wife duo is quickly becoming known as “The White Stripes of metal.” In this interview, Ralf and Niki talk about their new single as well as their upcoming full length album. They talk about their writing and what inspires them, and we learn about the “Frankenstein” guitar. Ralf has engineered an instrument that has the ability of being a bass as well as a guitar, and he gives us the “ins and outs” about how it works and what it takes to play it.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
