Echoes Forest (2026), Mantra Machines third record, marks a more earthbound exploration. Venturing into the depths of ancient forests, this is a psychedelic journey that moves its listeners into more cinematic, inward-looking territory.
Mantra Machine brings heavy, hypnotic grooves and immersive soundscapes with a fresh, modern twist on psychedelic rock. This Dutch three-piece band crafts instrumental jams that blend driving guitars, fuzz-drenched bass, and dynamic drums with layered synth atmospheres.
Launching with a powerful debut at England's Sonic Rock Solstice festival back in 2012, Mantra Machine soon dropped Stage One, their first EP. Their full-length album Nitrogen followed in 2014, marking the start of their journey through expansive, atmospheric compositions. A growing reputation led to an invitation to the legendary Roadburn Festival in 2016, followed by performances at Belgium's Yellowstock and a mini-tour in Germany and Austria.
In 2019, the band released Heliosphere, further exploring new sounds and ambitious arrangements in an acclaimed instrumental journey.
With a new lineup in 2023, Mantra Machine continues to evolve and explore. Now with their new album Echoes Forests, promising to take listeners even deeper into their sonic universe.
First pressing, limited edition of 250 copies, transparent "Black Clouds" variant. The gatefold is printed on an inside-out sleeve for a smooth finish.
