ark 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, with Invisible
Oranges calling their performance “brain melting.”
