A Cosmic Calling: 10 Essential Psych Releases Selected by Oranssi Pazuzu’s Ontto & Ikon
15. 04. 20
Oranssi Pazuzu are master scavengers and manipulators of sound. Black metal—a subgenre rooted in groundbreaking sonic pursuits since its early second-wave (See: Mayhem’s 1987 Deathcrush EP featuring the opening instrumental by German electronic composer Conrad Schnitzler, “Silvester Anfang”)—may be this Finnish band’s foundational layer, but there’s also an other-world of eclectic styles colliding in cataclysmic fashion across their essential discography. And Oranssi Pazuzu do not discriminate when it comes to where they source the vital elements that comprise their wildly experimental, often demented, yet carefully constructed extreme metal.
