Karate Steve is a Boston groove/sludge metal quartet — Ben Davis (guitar/vocals), Robb White (lead guitar/vocals), Earl Brown (bass), and Zach LeWinter (drums) — formed in 2015 and known for making heavy music feel personal without posturing. Their 2025 album Time Under Tension earned a full-length stream on Decibel Magazine and draws comparisons to High On Fire, Mastodon, and fellow Massachusetts heavyweights Shadows Fall.
