Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin Kynsi (2020)

The cover art of Mestarin Kynsi gives quite a good idea of the music, as usual with Oranssi Pazuzu it's some very weird black metal, in which now only the singing, as usual in Finnish, is still strictly speaking black metal. This fifth album follow where Värähtelijä left and goes further but also in a different direction, the good thing is that there's no more boring ambient/drone parts, and instead there's more psychedelic/progressive kraut/King Crimson elements, maybe also a bit more melodies, still mostly in a dark and dissonant vein. But more importantly the songs are more dynamic and inspired in my opinion. I think with Mestarin Kynsi they again managed to craft another masterpiece. Highly recommended!
