ORANSSI PAZUZU "Valonielu" 12''LP

nown thus far in North America only to the most attentive and adventurous of black metal fans, Finland's Oranssi Pazuzu has now channelled ‘Valonielu', their first album on a U.S. based label (third overall), to legions of fellow travelers seeking transcendence. The band name, a combination of the Finnish word Oranssi, which means orange and for the band symbolizes “cosmic energy”, and Pazuzu, a “mythic demon of the wind”, conjures perfectly the band's unequaled, singular take on Psychedelic Cosmic Black Metal; celestial and boundless but malevolently grim and harsh.
