Oranssi Pazuzu announce new album ‘Muuntautuja’
ORANSSI PAZUZU have announced a new album!
Titled Muuntautuja, the upcoming album from the Finnish psychedelic black metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Mestarin kynsi, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Drawing inspiration from eclectic sources ranging from DEATH GRIPS to PORTISHEAD, NINE INCH NAILS (Downward Spiral era), BEHERIT and MY BLOODY VALENTINE, ORANSSI PAZUZU are a feast for those who dig deep, heavy and strange. With inhuman and biological sound, Muuntautuja intends to be electronically charged, both organic and inorganic in origin. Guitarist Ikon reflects, “our experimentation with samplers and electronics made us step towards the weird concept of making nightmarish rave music. We tried to find common ground between danceable rhythms and oppressive waves of noise and distortion.”
Muuntautuja intends to transcend genres, embodying a transcendent experience that slimes listeners in its nightmare of space and metamorphosis. Vocalist/guitarist Jun-His muses, “for us, this album is like a sculpture made of black electric ooze.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Valotus. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from the title track, which was released back in May.
