Dark Buddha Rising operate in the clouds where space rock, doom,
and drone meet.
With most songs over 10 minutes and plenty over 20, the guys
are clearly not in a hurry to go anywhere fast,
with tunes often taking a central, simple riff and rhythm and
subtlely mutating them over the course of the track.
While the drone influence is clear, that style can sometimes
feel like noise just for the sake of it, while here there is still
a solid metal foundation at play.
The guys are apparently friends with the good folks in
Oranssi Pazuzu
as there has been at least two projects which are essentially
Buddha/Pazuzu mashups.
