DARK BUDDHA RISING has shared the second audio excerpt, “E X O“, from their upcoming fifth album, Inversum, a two-track exercise in the black arts of psychedelia.
Regarded as the opening of the Third Cycle Of DARK BUDDHA RISING, Inversum was recorded, produced and mixed by the band in the bowels of the Wastement, the self-proclaimed “asylum of eternal feedback,” and welcomes the addition of new DARK BUDDHA RISING recruits, V. Vatanen (guitar, vocals), J. Saarivuori (keyboards) and M. Neuman (vocals). Inversum ingests its listeners whole into a tense, menacing realm of dark atmospheres, harrowing mysticism, tormented howls and slow, treacherous riff rumblings.
Said The Skinny of “E X O“, “By no means a retread of the record’s opener, ‘E X O’ initially takes influence from latter-day Swans, blissfully repeating the same notes and chords to nauseating effect before suddenly going all Electric Wizard, sucking the listener into a sonic black hole with nastier tones and lengthier riffs. It sounds massive.”
Adds the band, “‘E X O’ is the cosmic process of Inversum, a universal collapse into the singularity of existence.”
Listen to the expansive sounds of “E X O“, now playing at THIS LOCATION.
If you missed it, sample the condensed edition of opening hymn, “E S O“, self-described as “the inner process of Inversum, a personal voyage into the eternal current of existence,” HERE as well as the recently issued video trailer playing HERE.
As the dust of centuries has settled on pages unwritten, the gates are opened only within. In ascension rites of introvert spirits, the signature of passing flesh is inscribed in the memorial garden as a note of entrance. Succeeding this initiation, all levels are accessible through death transpired as severance of the flesh and the spirit immortal. As the remnants of flesh dance to the endless pulses of the multiverse, the underlying directives in biorhythms to which these pulses are synchronized (from ego to the universe on the left hand and no ego in the void beneath the veil) and to be followed like a call of nature. Nature withholds the void that exists to the unaided eye of the celestials, and the rhythms transpire as keys. As the innerspace traveler is aligned with the order of the nine, disarray in the processes is suddenly reversible, and the liberated shall walk the brightened path that is not treaded afoot. This is DARK BUDDHA RISING.
DARK BUDDHA RISING’s Inversum will be released on CD and vinyl formats on September 25th, 2015 through Neurot Recordings. Preorder bundles are currently available at the Neurot webstore.
