“Interstellar fuzzed out instrumental psychedelic jams from beyond.”

»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 Forest«, promising to take listeners even deeper into their sonic universe.
