KRASHKARMA have shared the official video for “Welcome To The Shitshow”, the first single from their upcoming album “ENTER THE EXIT”. The album is due in 2027, while the video is available now, 2 November 2026, through the band’s official channels. The Los Angeles alternative metal duo have also announced that tour dates and further news are available at krashkarma.com.

A claymation warning

The published video is the censored claymation version of “Welcome To The Shitshow”. KRASHKARMA direct viewers to the original version at krashkarma.com/videos, giving the song two visual presentations. The lyrics frame the track as a bleak commentary on deception, public spectacle and political control, with repeated calls for someone to “wake me up” and “make it stop”.

The song opens with an invitation to watch “the greatest deception of all time”, then moves through images of smoke, mirrors and insanity on parade. Later verses refer to the “execution” of freedoms and a world being driven into the ground. Its closing refrain describes a society that keeps having to “unf*ck” the damage already done.

Niki Skistimas on drums

Niki Skistimas is the duo’s drummer and vocalist. She performs alongside Ralf Dietel, who plays guitar and bass and also sings. The pair’s latest album before this announcement was “Falling to Pieces”, released in 2023 as their sixth studio album through Rockshots Records.

KRASHKARMA are based in Los Angeles and have played more than 600 stages worldwide, including tours with Butcher Babies. Their current “Enter The Exit Tour 2026” includes German dates running from 27 October to 27 November 2026, placing the new single’s release during the band’s announced touring period.
