Finnish psychedelic metal band Oranssi Pazuzu have confirmed that the followup to 2020’s great Mestarin Kynsi will arrive this fall via Nuclear Blast, and they say album details are coming soon, but meanwhile, they’ve just released a new single, “Muuntautuja” (which translates to “The Shapeshifter”). It starts off in eerie, atmospheric electronic territory that isn’t metal at all, but a heavy climax awaits. The band says it was influenced by Portishead, My Bloody Valentine, The Downward Spiral-era Nine Inch Nails, and Death Grips, as well as Finnish black metal veterans Beherit.
“After three years of slow-burn brewing and enlightening space-time experimentation, please welcome Muuntautuja – The Shapeshifter, a new song from our forthcoming album,” the band says. “Let it open your skull towards the void and guide you to the intoxicating state of transformation.” Listen and watch the video below.
