Everything about the band screams death metal, except for its lyrics which feature Sanskrit sutras. FMTNews FMTLifestyle

Most death metal bands allude to Satanic themes, except Dharma which chooses to scream about Sanskrit sutras.

“The way it’s sung is like in metal, with some voice distortion,” he told AFP, referencing the often throaty low nature of Tibetan chanting.On the face of it, death metal and Buddhism might not appear to be the most natural of bedfellows. He decided to work on the songs first, primarily with guitarist Andy Lin, who also grew up in a devout family, and find remaining bandmates later.

The band’s first single ‘Sapta Jina Bhasitam Papa Vinasana Dharani’, an incantation about peace and wellness, is currently being mastered at a Polish studio and will be released next month.“I am enjoying the ride, enjoying the experience.”Tung, who declined to give his age, grew up when Taiwan was a dictatorship and authorities heavily censored rock and metal.
