In November, the joint tour of Oranssi Pazuzu and Múr will arrive at the A38 Hajó.
➤ The psychedelic-krautrock avant-garde black metal of the Finnish Oranssi Pazuzu slams cosmic gates, which is further emphasized by the familiar sounding Finnish-language shaman's name. Their music descends into the depths of consciousness on a narrow spiral staircase, switching off and freeing you from the moment to dissolve in the galactic black hole it opens.
“Oranssi” means orange in Finnish (the color of cosmic energy), while “Pazuzu” is the name of the ancient Mesopotamian wind demon. Since their formation in 2007, they have been sweeping through the underground with this cosmic pulsation, redefining its boundaries.
Their sound simultaneously carries the spirit of 70s prog rock and kraut rock, the trance-like pulse of acid house, and composers like Philip Glass and Steve Reich. However, all this is only a fraction of what Oranssi Pazuzu actually creates. It’s as if Radiohead had been reborn in the cold Finnish moors, fusing the raw darkness of Darkthrone with the electronic ecstasy of the Chemical Brothers.
➤ The music of Icelandic band Múr, formed in 2018, cannot simply be called heavy. Their sound moves on the border between progressive metal and post-metal, but any category proves too narrow to truly describe what they create.
Múr’s songs are born somewhere between the relentless depths of cinematic post-metal and progressive death metal. The voice of keytar-wielding frontman Kári Haraldsson changes with eerie ease from angelic singing to gut-wrenching, agonizing howls. Their heavy, swirling sound also hides hypnotic shoegaze melodies, while some ancient, elemental anxiety vibrates through every note.
Let There Be Noise!
