Dark Buddha Rising Post “Sunyaga” Video; Mathreyata out Nov. 13
Like few bands out there right now, Finland’s Dark Buddha Rising actively sound like their music is trying to eat you. Their new album, Mathreyata, was hinted toward way back in March as the seams in the fabric of the world were just starting to get stretched wider, but though the original October release date has passed, Svart will have it out on Nov. 13 and that’s as good a time as any for the end of all things to meet its soundtrack. The band put out their 2018 II EP on Neurot and and Mathreyata is their first full-length since 2015’s Inversum (review here). Normally I’d call five years between LPs a long stretch, but for Dark Buddha Rising, that’s about right when it comes to needing recovery time in between.
If you’ve got 13 minutes and a soul to kill, they’re streaming a video for the lead single “Sunyaga” now that is little short of pure shamanic destruction. Partake.

V. Ajomo from Dark Buddha Rising states:
“Mathreyata follows the visions that were received from Inversum’s implosion and is the accession of what we invoked with the II EP. Before completing the great circle, all cycles must be dissolved. In the end we are standing at the edge of the abyss with all our previous work as weights, impatient to dive in. We recorded the basis of the album just before the Waste of Space Orchestra project began and mostly because of that, it took a few years to get it finished. Finally the material that we have performed live for several years can be experienced as a recorded album.”
Dark Buddha Rising’s abyssic and meditative sonic-void has been opening up over the last 10 years to swallow more and more devotees in their wake. Since their inception in 2007, with their first four albums being highly-coveted, sold-out private pressings, to subsequent Svart Records reissues, to their burgeoning fifth album Dakhmandal, Dark Buddha Rising have been shining like a black diamond for those that go mining for the real thing. Embraced into Neurosis’ Neurot Records fraternity, with 2015’s critically acclaimed sixth album Inversum, Tampere-based psychonauts, Dark Buddha Rising have captivated the collective consciousness of the heavy underground and achieved cult-legend status.
2019’s climactic and highly praised Waste Of Space Orchestra collaboration with local kindred spirits Oranssi Pazuzu at Roadburn Festival, put Dark Buddha Rising’s Wastement home studio: “the asylum of eternal feedback,” firmly on the International music world map and into the hearts of the pitch-black psych-rock underworld. Gathering a throng of newly devoted adherents who worship at the altar of their churning vortex, Dark Buddha Rising’s live shows are a transformative experience that are religiously revered by audiences across Europe. To put words into what Dark Buddha Rising does to the listening audience is to describe the band surrendering fully to the intuition and primal instincts as altered states of mind.
Prepare your mind and body for an initiation into the dark arts of Mathreyata on Friday the 13th of November 2020. Dark Buddha Rising have channeled a work for dark spirits and those who seek to travel beyond the unknown.
