Here is what Sweden Rock Magazine had to say about us: "Maitreya has an amazing ability to write songs that change from heavy and dark, to mellow and light without sounding strained - the clean vocals are superb, and the growls heavy as shit".

7 MP3 Songs
METAL/PUNK: Scandinavian Metal, METAL/PUNK: Death Metal



Details:
In 2005 MAITREYA recorded the debut album New World Prophecy in the bands own studio/rehearsalplace RECLAB. A record combining elements of thought, aggression and strength presenting a future vision of the world.

The search for additional musicians began and in early 2006 Lars Soderberg (former member of Diabolical and Seethings) joined on drums together with Mikael Almgren (Terminal Function) on guitars. The line-up of MAITREYA was now complete.

However Mikael decided to move back to his hometown Gavle in July due to personal reasons, and the distance made Maitreya and Mikael to part ways. Lars decided to leave as well after experiencing lack in motivation as far as drumming goes (Lars is also a very skilled bassplayer).

Three new members were now recruited. Enes Sabanovic, Vanja Hadzic and Jonas Olofsson. The rest is yet to come!

MAITREYA is currently focusing on getting more gigs and promoting our album. Meanwhile Linus and Martin are writing the best songs they have ever written for the next album! Maitreya has never been stronger. See y´all soon!
Cheers / Maitreya
