Featuring members of Dark Buddha Rising and Mr Peter Hayden/PH/Enphin
The Finnish underground music scene is set to welcome a formidable new entity as Entheomorphosis announce the release of their debut album PYHÄ KUILU (“Holy Abyss”) on May 23rd, 2025 via Svart Records. A collaborative new outfit featuring seasoned members from the enigmatic Dark Buddha Rising and the genre-defying Mr Peter Hayden/PH/Enphin, Entheomorphosis has crafted an immersive sonic purge that plunges into the depths of transformation, spirituality, and cosmic dissolution.
The first single Iätön is out on digital platforms today.
“As the album serves as both a representation and a guide to spiritual metamorphosis, the closing track, ‘Iätön,’ marks the culmination of this journey—the refined soul’s transformation into an active conduit of the Universal current, altering reality itself.”, comments bassist Lauri Kivelä (Mr Peter Hayden/PH/Enphin), and continues:
“This was the first piece of music we began working on as a group, and by embracing our intuitive approach—allowing room for guidance—we delved into our roots and rediscovered what comes most naturally to us: slow riffs, busy drumming, big come-downs, and powerful build-ups—everything required to serve as the carrier wave for a message of this magnitude.”

Guitarist Vesa Ajomo (Dark Buddha Rising), one of the principal architects behind the project, explains:
“Entheomorphosis was born in the need to refine artistic and spiritual work. During the years of turmoil and isolation, the main riffs were forged and over time they meandered into an album that has the most emotional weight that I have ever been involved with. This is the process of physical, spiritual, and mental transformation.”
With crushing riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and dark, ceremonial vocals, PYHÄ KUILU carves out an abyssal space where listeners can confront their own psychic dissolution and re-creation. Each track invites the audience to partake in the process of unveiling, where the descent into swirling chaos of Entheomorphosis leads to spiritual refinement and ascension. It’s not all about leaving the listener in the dark however, as there is a more transcendent mission within the Entheomorphosis quest.
As Vesa Ajomo puts it:
“Within this album we have captured the energy, intuition, and guidance in the most organic form possible and allowed the compositions to take their final form at a slow pace. Through this initiation, we have found the holy abyss and bravely dived into the darkness in order to find the light.”
Entheomorphosis channels the influences of doom, drone, and avant-garde metal, yet the album stands as a work of unique potency. For fans of Neurosis, Godflesh, and especially the celebrated Finnish dark and heavy Psychedelic underground, Entheomorphosis is at the very underneath of the hypnotic dark underbelly of psychedelia. Recorded with a minimalist ethos, the band prioritized capturing the raw intensity and spiritual essence of their compositions, ensuring that PYHÄ KUILU resonates with both primal and metaphysical power.
PYHÄ KUILU is available on Svart exclusive transparent violet/black smoke vinyl, band exclusive transparent green/black smoke, limited gold vinyl, black vinyl, CD, and digital platforms on May 23rd, 2025. The album release show will take place at the Sonic Rites festival in Helsinki on 23rd – 24th of May, 2025.

PYHÄ KUILU is a journey across four movements, with each composition unravelling layers of profound symbolic meaning:
● “Alkiema” explores the absorption and distillation of light into a singularity—a dark, cosmic initiation leading to a metamorphosis of flesh and spirit.
●”Sikinä” follows with the re-birth of refined truth in flesh—a process of nourishment, ascension, and the painful shedding of old forms.
●”Huntu” acts as an atmospheric interlude, representing the tearing away of the illusory, exposing the core essence of the soul’s path.
●”Iätön” culminates the album’s journey in the transformation of the refined soul into an active operator of the Universal current, altering reality itself.
