Entheomorphosis’ debut album »Pyhä Kuilu« will stare through you! Out now!
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.
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.
