31. Oranssi Pazuzu - 'Mestarin Kynsi'

Completely mindboggling album. It is essentially Black Metal goblin-esque vocals over a sonic kaleidoscope. The six tracks blur into one elongated piece of music and feel like continuous tempestuous journey through an increasingly twisting and turning tunnel of pure undiluted sound.

It is plunges you from the off into an unfamiliar aural landscape, perpetually evolving and continually contorting. It is one of those albums that robs you of all perception of the world you left behind, it like a sensory deprivation tank in audible form. I had no awareness of how long I was listening to it for, when the tracks actually changed or even what year it was. Completely discombobulating, but also strangely compelling.
