Karma Will Hunt You Down

In what is either a case of bad timing or spectacularly bad karma, the band Great White just released a new album called Burning House of Love. Great White, of course, were on stage when a pyrotechnics malfunction sparked a fire that burned down a Rhode Island nightclub last year, killing 100 people - including the band's guitarist. The album is a re-release by an Italian label which, the band contends, does not have the permission to do so.

Still, it pales in comparison to the bad timing that greeted the release of prog-metalists Dream Theater's Live Scenes From New York. Part of the band's visual design for a long time had been a heart engulfed in flames. The cover art for this album had the flaming heart silhouetting several well known NYC landmarks, including the World Trade Center. It was released on September 11, 2001. You can see the cover here.
