達摩樂隊可能是全球首支以歌頌佛學經文為主的金屬樂隊，以推廣佛學文化為宗旨宣揚良善本性為依歸。
樂隊成員來自台灣與加拿大，歌曲創作使用之經文以梵文為主、中文為輔，樂隊創作過程ㄧ切如法並均為歸依三寶的佛弟子。
達摩樂隊用極速的節拍表佛的悲心卻以憤怒相展現，金屬音樂的特性強化佛心願力，使聽聞者於激昂樂聲中得到全然地精神釋放！並感受音樂帶來的清涼自在與潛移默化和豁然開朗！進而頓忘人法解真空！般若現前無明滅！
新型態佛曲的演奏及創新演繹的方式，衷心期盼能深入年輕族群，為推動佛學文化之年輕化與傳承盡一份心！
Dharma is quite likely the first band in the world to combine ancient and traditional Buddhist sutras with the modern style of death metal.
The band was founded by drummer Jack Tung (Revilement, Demise, Stench of Lust) from Taiwan.
Vocalist Joe Henley (Revilement, Sledge City Slashers, Stench of Lust), from Canada, was later brought on board. Most of the lyrics are sung and screamed in the original Sanskrit, some with a mix of Mandarin Chinese.
Throughout the creative process of the band, the basic tenets of Buddhism were adhered to, with the blessing of a local Buddhist master teacher (Master Song, of Taipei), and all members have taken refuge in the Three Jewels.
Dharma utilizes blast beats and alternate picking to express the furious and dark side of Buddhist scriptures. The inherit ferocity of death metal augments the will of the scriptures to instill within the listener a sense of spiritual relief and undeniable passsion through the release of karma.
This brand new performance style of the Buddhist songs has been undertaken with the goal of spreading the Buddhist culture of Taiwan to the four corners of the world, and to instill in those a sense of peace through the exploration of the sutras in this new form.
