Electronic Press Kit

Maha Sohona is a 3-piece heavy psych/space stoner rock band from Umeå, Sweden, blending cathedral-sized fuzz walls with airy, cinematic melodies for fans of Tool, Alice In Chains, and Elder.

Formed in Umeå, Sweden, Maha Sohona quietly built a global cult following after their 2014 debut, driven by the underground streaming success of their track "Asteroids". Following their critically acclaimed 2021 sophomore record Endless Searcher (#5 on the Doom Charts) and subsequent European tours, the band signed with Bonebag Records to release their third full-length album, A Dark Place, in November 2025. Recorded with a live-in-the-room energy, the new record expands their signature sound into heavier, eeply atmospheric sonic territory.

Comments and reviews:

"A dark and emotionally engaging listen that speaks directly to the soul... Slow, sad, and somber melodies and heavy, heavy riffs."
— Desert Psychlist / Bandcamp []

"Maha Sohona has moved past their influences with this creation, making their sound undeniably their own with all the sprawling magnificence and wonder that one could ask for from heavy psychedelia."
— Head-Banger Reviews [1]

"Sees the band lean heavier and further into the Space Rock abyss of Post-Doom and Post-Grunge melodies."
— Outlaws of the Sun [1]

 Our first ever live performance in Umeå November 2021 was filmed:
