Name Change
Ralf is the only original member of band. Said was briefly the bass player prior to the arrival of Zach Mayberry. The band was originally named [...] Holiday but when offered a sound byte for Fox Sports NFL broad cast the band decided to rename themselves to a more "user friendly" name. Hence Krash Karma. Prior to the name change the band consisted of Zach Mayberry on bass, Jered Mark Annis on lead guitar, Niki Skistimas on drums, and Ralf Dietel on lead vocals. Zach and Jered left due to creative differences Ralf quoted on name, "It is a reflection of the duality that the band represents: heavy male vocals mixed with melodic female vocals. While everything coexists in a strange harmony and is ready to explode at anytime!"
