Merzbuddha is a studio album by the Japanese noise musician, Merzbow. The album morphs Merzbow's traditional sound with a heavy dub influence, containing deep bass riffs, electronic vibes and beats.

On February 2012, Merzbow released the track "Marz02", a 16-minute song which comes from a studio rehearsal from the album's sessions back in 2004.[3]
