Almost Heathen is the third studio album by the stoner rock band Karma to Burn. It was released on September 4, 2001, by Spitfire Records.[1] It was the last album released before their seven-year disbandment in 2002. The album was reissued in 2008 by Metal Mind Productions[2] and again in 2022 by Heavy Psych Sounds Records.[3]
The album title is a play on the former slogan of West Virginia, "Almost Heaven".

Exclaim! wrote that "you either get the fact that they are an all-instrumental trio playing groovy, fuzzed-out rock or you don't ... the trio breaks down into more funky terrain."[8] The Evening Times thought that "the listener is assailed by driving tracks of musical virtuosity where the guitars are to the fore."[1] The Palm Beach Post called the tracks "hypnotic" and "a heavy blend of fuzzy guitars and relentless drums."[9]
