    With their fourth album Värähtelijä they’ve finally made a record that fully follows through on the paradoxical promise of their component parts.

    For those willing to take this on its own terms, the payoff for listening is enormous.

    Värähtelijä is most definitely descended from trope-riddled black metal, but no other band is anywhere near taking the music in a more interesting and open-ended direction while retaining its brutal core.

    Värähtelijä is a weird, grotesque record, where genres are superimposed on one another and where eccentric choices are the rule and not the exception. Yes, Oranssi Pazuzu is out of the old black metal box and lost--wonderfully, strangely--somewhere between heaven and hell.
