SADHARA (KICK ASS DEMO ONLINE)

About Me

Sadhara are Kathy Burke (guitars and vocals) and Iwan Hendrikx (drums). Sadhara are a unique project in the sense that Kathy and Iwan live in separate countries - the United State and The Netherlands - but come together in complete harmony (or distorted brutallity) to create a special sound.
Sadhara began in 2003 with a five song demo written and recorded by guitarist and vocalist Katherine Burke. With blazing melodic guitar passages, banshee screams coupled with soaringly clean vocals, the demo was a red headed step child of an underground metal scene where metal had to be married to the suffix "-core" to be accepted in such an ever changing and fickle musical climate.
The demo was a surprise success, and in 2004 Sadhara attracted the attention of Dutch drum virtuoso Iwan Hendrikx. The one woman project now transformed into a duo, the musicians produced their first full length album "To Hell, With Sympathy" in 2007. The self produced CD was welcomed to great reviews all over the world, including Guitar Player Magazine, and included on several top 2007 metal release yearlists.
If you would like to purchase a copy of "To Hell, With Sympathy", it is available on Sadhara's web site. PayPal and credit card purchases are accepted.
With a promising future ahead, Iwan and Kathy are currently writing new material for another CD.
