Comment:

Oranssi Pazuzu is the new band of Juho Vanhanen, one members of the finnish surrealistic rock band named Kuolleet Intiaanit, another disturbing and original band.

Muukalainen Puhuu is something fresh, unusual, and truly delectable. A sort of Psychedelic Black Metal deep and delirious with an awesome psycho-galactic synthesizer. A relaxing and wandering trip through the space. This album is a real UFO

in 3 words: Psychedelic, Onirism, Innovative

Comment: 

A great mix between pain, desparation, desolation and beauty. like in their first full length there is these beautiful piano parts, full of melancholy. This music immediately grab your heart and your guts. Much more violent and apocalyptic than the eponymous album, quite confusing in the early plays, but once digested we realize the quality of the Cd.

The album starts off with drone guitars and organ then appear a girl crying: from the beginning we are thrown into a dark and almost medieval universe where heresy rules supreme. Sepulchral and varied atmospheres, hypnotizing and minimal riffs, out of this world vocals, a mix of moaning and weeping women and incomprehensible demonic incantations. The sound is really opressive! Every records of the band are masterpieces,one of my favorite bands!

Debut full-length and first release from this american one man project. Massive walls of guitar, beautiful riffs (and very refreshing acoustic interludes ), and etheral synthe emerging from this sizzling mass. Cold suffocating atmosphere. Haunting music. limited to 500 copies and very cheap.
Help a body in 3 words: Immersion, Isolation, Abyss
for fans of: The Angelic Process (very similar), Paysage d'Hiver, the early Leviathan (for the vocals), Velvet Cacoon

Without doubt my favorite release of last year (with "The Wounded Kings"). Every single song has it own atmosphere, the cataclysmic and fulminating riffs sound unique and fresh, the groove is "smoky", devastating atmospheres, everything is..."perfect". Utterly hypnotic and mesmerizing.
