ORANSSI PAZUZU - 'Muuntautuja' | Album Review

[@alakablam7901]

The production and mixing on this album is phenomenal. Valotus having that angelic reverb piano just appear out of the chaos is a stroke of genius. It’s a rare experience to listen to a track and feel genuine disbelief. Masterpiece.

[@TheMetalTris]

I know right?! It's such a fantastic record and one that I will be revisiting again and again and again

[@dpeady78]

Been listening to this all day. Between this album and Blood Incantation last week, its been a great week for cosmic, spacey, weird metal I dig it

[@DesolateSolitude]

I just got “Invoking the Abysmal Night” by AEGRUS. I’m really Stoked. Buying CDs does something For me Streaming just doesn’t.

[@TheMetalTris]

I couldn't agree more! Two albums that, although are very different are also kind of similar - Oranssi is definitely in my albums of the year list!

[@helenhunt5414]

Excellent review!! Love the album, consider it already a classic!! Favourite tracks - the closer, Hautatuuli, Voitelu, Ikikaarme and the title track!! I want more trip-hoppish Oranssi Pazuzu!!

[@TheMetalTris]

Thanks so much for the kind words there Helen! I think that Ikikaarme is my favourite but really love Hautatuuli too. Trip Hop Pazuzu is the way haha - appreciate you checking out the video too!

Initial impressions of Muuntautuja: This is a really strange journey of a listen, but I genuinely enjoyed it. There were many instances where I felt like the instrumentation could be used as a hip-hop sample. Mestarin kynsi was certainly more immediate, and I do enjoy it more; however, I'm excited to give this album more time!

[@TheMetalTris]

Totally! There was more of an emphasis on electronics and hip hop on this one which I think is so cool to say about a Black Metal record. Honestly, for me there's no one out there that sounds like them! Truly visionary.

[@HotelHobbies]

Had my first listen to this today. What a journey! Going to take a few spins to fully understand and appreciate what is going on but definitely intriguing!

[@TheMetalTris]

Hell yeah man but I am sure that you'll love it. Let me know what you do think of it?

[@johnhutchins4157]

Hello from the states! I've been a fan since Varahtelija! Loved the waste of space Orchestra side project as well! Thanks for shining a light on one of the more obscure metal bands out there!

[@TheMetalTris]

Hello back from the UK! No worries at all. I love this band so much and I really think that they’re doing something totally different to anyone else out there. I also love WOSO - great one off project that one. There’s another project which features one of the members of OP - I think it’s got like pink and green artwork and looks like a kind of hallway. What do you think of Muuntautuja??

[@silentgnome]

I'm totally obsessed with this record.

[@TheMetalTris]

Haha me too!! I’ve been spinning it a hell of a lot since I received it as a promo and while it wasn’t quite as immediate as Mestarin it’s just a great record overall. Definitely in my album’s of the year for sure

[@andrewmilesbroughton8222]

Cool review dude!!

[@TheMetalTris]

Thanks so much! That’s very kind of you and glad that you enjoyed the video too. Hugely appreciated!

[@Zeitgeist6]

The start of the album reminded me of Broken/Downward Spiral era NIN when I first heard it. Haven't really processed the full album yet though. I loved the previous album, but this is even more out there... But I'll definitely going back for another listen. It is really intriguing.

[@TheMetalTris]

Definitely, it's one of them that definitely takes a little longer than you would think but also rewards with repeat listens again and again and again. It's a really fascinating record and I have to say, as much as I loved Mestarin Kynsi, I am finding myself drawn back to this one more frequently! Which is weird. I reckon because it's dark but also chill at the same time haha

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Great review. This band is made for your reviews.

[@TheMetalTris]

Haha thanks so much man. Will you be featuring this total madness on the couch?

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

@@TheMetalTris no it scares me lol

[@DesolateSolitude]

I’m only missing their 2nd album… Might have to order it soon…

[@TheMetalTris]

Oh cool! I’m missing a couple of their records I’ve got Varahtelija / Mestarin Kynsi so far and Muuntautuja but need to get more haha! They’re a great band and thanks for checking the video out too :)

[@DesolateSolitude]

@TheMetalTris Keep up the Great work. Your Channel is Top Notch.

[@10Scimitar]

I’m not a metal fan at all but I love this record.

[@TheMetalTris]

That's really awesome and also what I love about OP is that they can just transgress different genres to make a sound that is wholly unique you know?

[@lifeasadreamrecords4479]

Dude review mrtvi!

[@TheMetalTris]

Hey there my friend! You'll have to help me out here, what is that? mrtvi? I'm not sure if I've heard of it before?

[@kendallfella]

Not heard of these buddy. From what I hear - I'll take the 'Pepsi Challenge' and give them a whirl. I'll let you know what I think. Hope your all good my friend. S.

[@DesolateSolitude]

It’s Challenging music.

[@TheMetalTris]
