Oranssi Pazuzu Valoneilu

7/10 gbar 27th March 2017

Despite Oranssi Pazuzu's static (loads and loads of repetition on this one. Up to a point which makes their earlier albums seem like prog...) approach to their songs and numerous other experimenters in the black metal genre, they manage to come of as pretty unique and intriguing group. If you're new to the band listen to this album, their most focused first, give it a good 20 spins and then venture into the older material. Valonielu (a void that sucks in light in particular) is their most easily approached album, yet it isn't easy at all. It doesn't uncover the bands full potential, glimpses of which can be heard on the earlier releases. However personally I feel this is their best yet. And like always the production is flawless.
