Oranssi Pazuzu Releasing New Album "Värähtelijä"

In 2013, Finland's Oranssi Pazuzu issued the "Valonielu" LP (reviewed here). Now, in the early months of 2016, Oranssi Pazuzu returns with the follow-up album and fourth full-length overall, titled "Värähtelijä."

Issues the band of this newest opus: "'Värähtelijä' is continuing where we left off with 'Valonielu,' but it plunges deeper into the pitch black hypnosis, combines progressive song structures to more free and flowing parts. At the same time, it's the heaviest and the most atmospheric album we`ve done so far. The fusion between different ends of spectrum reveals new realities we`ve never discovered before.

"We really wanted this album to go to new places and to be the crossover album of genres we always wanted to do. To further boost the idea, the album was done with Julius Mauranen who had previously done lots of Finnish shoegaze and indie pop albums. I think it's safe to say that this is by far the heaviest stuff he has done and for us, working with a guy like him stretched our sound to much more dynamic and trippy horizons.

"Lyrics-wise, the songs revolve around tripping in a psyche-space, with each song representing a vision or mirage that will be revealed to the listener. They are individual, but contain common elements with themes of unknown, sacrifice, transcendence, hate, hierarchy of power and, in the end, becoming a part of the cosmos through death."

"Värähtelijä" is being finalized for worldwide release on February 26th, 2016, with 20 Buck Spin handling the album for North America and Svart handling international territories on CD, 2xLP and digital platforms. The track listing is as follows:
