Getting the tram over to Rebellion I decided to put Evergrey on and take a listen to see what they were like. My love of prog metal is known to anyone who knows me and from a first listen they impressed me. It would be a tough gig to impress me, especially coming off VOLA’s amazing show at Club Academy…...

I was going through my current playlists and saw that Knocked Loose has been high up there for bands that have had too much playtime for my liking and I thought "oh my god, I totally missed doing a review on their latest album - how unprofessional of me being a fan of theirs and the likes" - so here it is....

This is a bit of a different one for me so let me start off by saying "I'm a lover of all things metal but sometimes 'black metal' doesn't do it for me" But I'm pleasantly happy to announce that Oranssi Pazuzu and their latest album release "Muuntautuja" tickled a small pickle inside of me that led me to be a convert (for now, full disclosure my heart will always belong to deathcore - Sorry not sorry!)....

Oranssi Pazuzu are a Finnish psychedelic black metal band. Firstly, what does the name stand for? The band takes its name from "oranssi", the Finnish word for the color orange, and "pazuzu" a wind demon from Babylonian mythology so I'm guessing roughly translated this means an orange wind demon? Ora...
