Mathreyata

"Dark Buddha Rising er en syrekakofoni med toner af Jefferson Airplane og Siouxsie and the Banshees. Et gotisk trip ud i rummet og ind i sindet ... Helt ærligt tror jeg, Dark Buddha Rising fungerer bedst live. Måske helst i en lille skummel kælder et sted, hvor man kan redde sig både en gang tinnitus og en andenhånds hashpsykose. Men i en verden, hvor den slags ikke står lige for døren, er det op til lytteren at skaffe sig det selv. Og til det, er 'Mathreyata' oplagt".

"Dark Buddha Rising is still drone, and likely won't change your mind about it. However, Mathreyata, like its predecessors, is so crisp and precise in its patient crescendos and hypnotic pitch-black atmosphere that comparing it to the genre's stereotypical drone sprawlers in Sunn O))), Earth, or Nadja feels unfair. If anything, it aligns itself most closely to Boris's classic drone efforts "Feedbacker" or Pink in the shapeshifting miasma, but even then, these Finns have accomplished an intricate atmosphere utterly devoid of light more reminiscent of Khanate or Black Boned Angel. Ultimately, Mathreyata is (...) "an album to get lost in" and another stunning addition to a fantastic discography - a pinnacle of drone and songwriting".
