First exposure to Oranssi Pazuzu "Uusiteknokratia" (new technocracy) (react ep. 343)

#OranssiPazuzu #Uusiteknokratia #MestarinKynsi #finland #blackMetalPsychedelic #Syksy
In this video I react to Oranssi Pazuzu's song: Uusi teknokratia (New Technocracy) from the album Mestarin Kynsi.
In this stand-alone video I am commenting during the song (no text at the bottom of the screen), but substantially more discussion right after the song ends.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician on the road at age 17 for two years, but went part-time ever since while holding day careers including as a chef and in spiritual health care while raising a family.
I've recorded hundreds of my own songs- many being used in media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I abandoned the prog genre more or less back in the 1990s but have returned to it now with vigour a full 30 years later- so much prog I've ignored and quite frankly didn't have any idea about. My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electric as well).

This song is absolutely fantastic. Best Oranssi song to start with tbh.

[@penttilaine2346]

One magazine described Oranssi Pazuzu as being 'black metal for people who dont like black metal' and I have to agree with them. I dont really care about psychedelic music, space rock or black metal but theres something special in Oranssi Pazuzu's sound that has made it one of my favourite bands.

[@doranbacigalupi1059]

Wait somebody else asked for Oranssi Pazuzu also? That's awesome because my request this month was the track after this one! Too cool!

[@deanwolfechannel]

You picked the good one, I had it on repeat for a while

[@doranbacigalupi1059]

@@syysmieli I almost picked Uusi teknokratia! I'm glad I didn't, now we get a couple chapters from the book of Mestarin Kynsi! Cheers!

[@progperljungman8218]

Really great and exciting band! Dark, heavy, atmospheric and beautiful!

[@basto1d]

I certainly hope all of you have checked out the music video too! Very much H.P. Lovecraft inspired. A city architect spiraling into madness. In that gritty silent movie style, with very overdone theatrical makeup. Perfect match for the song itself!!

[@GozerTheDestroyer0]

I saw them live, it was phenomenal...

[@doranbacigalupi1059]

Love this band. I was lucky enough to catch their show in Berkeley in October of 2019. It was the second to last concert I attended before the shut down, and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Incredibly disorienting, from some of the sounds alone (a good thing).

[@DrewLaserdeath]

Yes! Super cool and unique band, glad to see Oranssi Pazuzu pop up here

[@_Katzenberg]

Palpatine shredding the screams should be an amazing sight.

[@justsomejusstsome8994]

You're getting closer to the rabbit hole Dean! And that's FANTASTIC to see. Soon enough you'll be getting into Gorguts 🤣

[@justsomejusstsome8994]

HELL YEAH. fantastic band

[@pasit1738]

No, niin! Nyt on jotain ihan muuta! Yes!

[@deanwolfechannel]

näen pidät suomalaisesta musiikista!

[@pasit1738]

@@deanwolfechannel Yep. And you know how to use google transcript. 😄 Well, as you may have figured out, I’m a Finn. So I am a bit bias, but Finland is a big country when it comes to music. Especially in metal music. We have - by a study - the most metal bands per capita in the world. The winner was Lemi with population of 3500 they have 13 metal bands.

[@oliver6530]

Great reaction! Much prefer when youre giving live commentary and thoughts whilst listening

[@floridabelle]

Well, that was different. I felt like I had to run away...fast! 😄 I did enjoy it, but would have enjoyed it more as strictly an instrumental. However, I will probably look into them more. 4 out of 5 🦈 bites.

[@federov100]

Oh cool, Palpatine and the Planet-killers! Another genre of metal to explore...

[@johnsmusicpassions9740]

How eclectic is your collection

[@reneskarmyr]

Wow, this was such an awesome piece of music. Loved the drum and bass-groove, felt like dancing🥳 Reminded me in a way of Shining, a norwegian band that plays jazz/metal/prog. In 2010 they released an album named Blackjazz. A react to a song from that album would be cool. The Madness and the Damage Done I hearby suggest🤘 Oh and they have an quite awesome cover of King Crimsons 21. Century Schizoid Man on the same album.

[@deanwolfechannel]

I kept this song on repeat last night. Love it!

[@murdockreviews]

Intruiging, I have to say.
