THE DEVIL'S MOUTH Vol. 102: Ten Rounds with Juho Vanhanen (Oranssi Pazuzu and many others!)

A peek into the major inspirations behind a key figure in the Finnish extreme psych scene.

We’re all still trying to fully figure out ‘Mestarin Kynsi’ - hell, we’re all still trying to figure out the previous ones too -, and Juho Vanhanen, aka Jun-His, already tells us Oranssi Pazuzu are working on a new album! Of course, we will probably never fully figure out everything that’s going on in those deep, cosmic cauldrons of chaos that are the albums of this remarkable Finnish band, but maybe hearing their guitarist/vocalist talk a bit about some of the songs that had a greatest impact on him throughout his younger years, from black metal to soul, from industrial to indie rock and more, will probably help us a little bit. Even if it doesn’t, it was a lot of fun to chat with Juho, who is also a fantastic describer of music, as you will hear as we nerd out about these ten prime cuts.

Go listen to the whole thing right here, and don’t hesitate to comment, share, or just sit down in quiet introspection after you do.
