DHARMA are a female fronted 4 piece Rock/Metal/Electro/Industrial band based in Budapest, Hungary. The band was founded in 2007. After rehearsing for a few months , the first EP was recorded at Bakery Studio. The concept from the beginning was to create a unique mixture of various genres and styles, somewhere between Rock and Metal, a touch of Dark/Gothic and also Industrial/Electro elements, but you can even hear some Oriental or "Soundtracky" here and there.
DHARMA started playing more and more live shows in Autumn 2007 and the first reviews of the EP were published around this time. 2008 already began with a tour as supporting band of the Hungarian band "ROAD". On 27th of May 2008, 272-Records, founded by the creators of Club Fiend (Hollywood, CA) released a compilation called The Funeral Vol 2, which includes the DHARMA song "SAVIOUR". In the meanwhile, the band's first artistic-apocalyptic video "ICON" has been finished. The first full length album called "HEAVENLY HELL" was released in 2009 under "Hammer Records", the label of the Hungarian "Metal Hammer" magazine. At the end of this year, an album release party took place as supporting act for DEATHSTARS and SONIC SYNDICATE, followed by another tour and several festival gigs during the following year. "HEAVENLY HELL" was nominated for the Hungarian Metal Awards as Best Debut Album of the year.

In February, DHARMA went on a French tour and the song "CLOSEST TO" was published on a French compilation album called "Des Filles et Des Riffes", together with bands like EPICA and THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, and also featured in a book about female Metal singers.
