Nine Treasures announce new compilation album ‘Awakening From Dukkha’

NINE TREASURES have announced a new compilation album!

Titled Awakening From Dukkha, the upcoming album from the Mongolian folk metal band is a compilation effort spanning their three studio albums and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via self-release.

A celebration of the past it may be, but for vocalist/guitarist Askhan and his bandmates, this decade-spanning collection intends to be a rebirth for the band.

“Our fans deserve to hear us at our best, which is why we were so motivated to make this album. Now we’ve done that, we just want to keep NINE TREASURES going as long as possible, make music that we’re proud of and spread a little positivity… and tour the world again! It’s always been about the music with us,” he says. “When I started this band I had no idea how things worked, and I thought it was all about marketing, promotion and fancy videos, but after 10 years of doing this, I’ve realised that everything revolves around the music itself. That’s why our focus is on making our music as great as it can be – we’re constantly progressing.”
