ORANSSI PAZUZU Vinyl & CDs

Review: Returning with their follow up to 2020's hallucinatory epic Mestarin Kynsi, Finnish psychedelic black metal collective Oranssi Pazuzu deliver their most cosmic, alien reimagining of the genre to date with their sixth full-length Muuntautuja. Expanding their sonic palette beyond the already pre-established forms of blackened psychedelia and prog the group have made their name from bastardising, this latest work channels glitching elements of downtempo and trip-hop, resulting in the type of lysergic horror one could only imagine if the likes of Portishead or Massive Attack decided to switch lanes to pursue and fully embrace black metal in all its macabre, dissonant glory.
