"KARMIC JUSTICE" BY CHOSEN UNDEAD: A VICIOUS METALCORE RECKONING WHERE BETRAYAL MEETS ITS DOOM
Monday June 2, 2025 by That Chick Krys
Some songs don’t just hit your ears – they level you. “Karmic Justice” by Chosen Undead is one of those tracks. Right from the first note, this German metalcore band makes it clear: they’re not here to play nice. They’re here to drag you through the mud of betrayal and let you feel every ounce of retribution.
Chosen Undead have always stood out for their refusal to stick to one formula. Their sound is a chaotic blend of heavy, razor-sharp riffs, cinematic breakdowns that drop like hammers, and vocals that flip from guttural roars to raw, desperate shouts. But what really separates them is their willingness to chase whatever feels real – whether that means diving into horror, legendary myths, or digging into personal struggle. If it’s heavy and honest, it’s on the table.
“Karmic Justice” is the band’s most relentless offering yet. Inspired by the punishing universe of Dark Souls, the track spins a dark tale: a traitor on the run, haunted by the consequences of their own actions. The verses simmer with tension, painting pictures of broken trust and inevitable downfall. Then, just when you think you’ve caught your breath, the chorus explodes – a furious promise that pain will be answered with punishment. The breakdown? It’s pure catharsis, a moment where rage and sorrow crash together in a storm of sound.
But the real magic here is in the lyrics. Chosen Undead don’t just scream for the sake of it – they craft lines that cut to the bone. The words are raw, vengeful, but achingly true. “Karmic Justice” isn’t just a song for the betrayed; it’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever waited for the world to set things right.
In a metalcore scene crowded with noise, Chosen Undead are carving out their own brutal, meaningful path. “Karmic Justice” is proof: sometimes, the reckoning isn’t just fantasy. It’s a scream, a riff, and a promise that justice always finds a way.
