“Prajna” means wisdom. “Para” refers to the opposite shore. Together, these two words encompass all living beings on this side of distress passing through to the purest shore on the other side. In the word "Mita", “Mi” means “to reach,” and “Ta” is “the above”, which means that reaching the other side is the ultimate aim.
The heart is both the root and core. The scripture is the way and the path, guiding us to return to the true path.
“The Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita”, simplified as the “Heart Sutra”, is the essence of "Mahā-prajñāpāramitā Sūtra". The most common version is the translation from Master Xuanzang, with a total of 260 characters. This sutra is one of the Buddhist sutras that Mahāyāna Buddhist monks and believers read daily. Reciting this sutra can break through the ten evil deeds, the five rebellious acts, and ninety-five evil ways. If you make offerings to all Buddhas in ten directions, pay back the kindness from the Buddhas in ten directions, and recite this sutra for a long period of time, all wishes will lead to accomplishments.
Dharma is quite likely the first band in the world to combine ancient and traditional Buddhist sutras with the modern style
of death metal.
The inherit ferocity of death metal augments the will of the scriptures to instill within the listener a sense of spiritual relief and undeniable passsion through the release of karma....more

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
