Wild, Wonderful Purgatory is the second studio album by stoner rock band Karma to Burn. The album was released on May 31, 1999, in Europe by Roadrunner UK, and July 7, 1999, in the U.S. by MIA Records and Spitfire Records. It is their first fully instrumental album after the departure of former vocalist Jason Jarosz; a style they would keep for most subsequent releases. The album title refers to the West Virginia slogan, "Wild and Wonderful".
Wild, Wonderful Purgatory has seen generally positive reception at the time of release over the years.[1][2][3] Wild, Wonderful Purgatory would see numerous reissues over the years. Emetic Records would issue the album on vinyl for the first time in 2009, followed by Tee Pee Records in 2010 which also contained a bonus 10" of unreleased demos. Since 2022, Heavy Psych Sounds has reissued and remastered the album on CD, Vinyl and Digital.
