Portland, Oregon based meditative Doom Metal band Breath have unveiled the official video for “Monastery Of The Seven Sages” taken from their sophomore album, “Brahman,” out on October 24, 2025 via Argonauta Records.

Filmed and produced by Erik Meharry & Brittyn Lindsey.
Band comments on the video: “‘Monastery Of The Seven Sages’ peers into a distant proto-bronze age landscape obscured by the fog of time. The power and bond of ‘as above so below’ is conveyed through filmmaker Erik Meharry’s vision for our music video. His inspiration from the song birthed a whole outline of Lynchian depth that made us all too eager for him to be at the helm.A song following steps like Oannes, looking to the wild horizon of space and Earth and finding connection.”
“Brahman” is an ode to the unchanging all pervasive true reality. It exists in and is the connective thread shared by all living things. The Trimurti in chorus, you and I, all one awareness. Music in service to the mirror of nature, to what can arise through stillness.
These songs were originally written as a three-piece opened to an expanded potential from our two-piece beginning. First enlisting fellow Portlander and peer musician Lauren Hatch on keys. After recording, Rob Wrong (Witch Mountain, The Skull) was struck with inspiration to write and record guitar for the entire album. This unforeseen development and synchronicity continued, folding in new aspects like the appearance of TJ Minnich (Spitalfield) on Djembe in tracks 2 & 5.
Fed by a magnetic fascination to the mystery schools and Shamanic rites. Emerging reborn, a mediator of this world and the other. Singing to trees, speaking with animals, imbued with the secret lore. At a cost they overcame with the treasure they sought. It’s losing ourselves in the woods or meditation and transmuting those experiences into the vibrational feeling and space our musical fingerprint holds.
