With the release of Inversum, the imminent new full-length from Finnish psychedelic doom cult, DARK BUDDHA RISING, now less than one month away, the band offers up an ominous new video teaser for public intoxication.
Their fifth studio offering overall and first for Neurot Recordings, Inversum is a two-track exercise in the black arts of psychedelia, ingesting its listeners whole into a tense, menacing realm of dark atmospheres, harrowing mysticism, tormented howls and slow, treacherous riff rumblings. In an advance and thorough investigation, Cvlt Nation commends the occult quality of the record and its minimalistic but incessant, underlying drone noting, “Inversum is a dark oasis that DARK BUDDHA RISING have lost themselves in. It really feels like the band set out to create a dark opus, and through their recording sessions, have become part of its darkness as well… with Inversum, the band is opening a new cycle to their existence.” Abysmal Hymns hails the band’s, “bleak post-apocalyptic tone,” while Glacially Musical elaborates, “Slow, plodding, and then full of rage and energy, these songs do not do anything quickly. There’s an uncomfortable mood set and in time, there is a payoff. While waiting, the listener is treated to wah drenched guitars with tones that sound like the amplifiers are on fire, howling vocals that breed anger, enmity, and sadness.” Adds Metal Storm in a poetic analysis, “A bell is struck in a silent temple. Black clouds gather over the Himalayas. A yogi lights incense in a forest, isolated. He approaches death, and is ready for the trip.”
The latest DARK BUDDHA RISING video teaser offers up a brief taste of second movement, the twenty-three-plus minute “E X O,” combined with mystical images of doom and decay.
