Oranssi Pazuzu is a Finnish psychedelic black metal band formed in 2007. The band originally consisted of vocalist and guitarist Juho "Jun-His" Vanhanen, drummer Jarkko "Korjak" Salo, guitarist Moit, keyboardist and percussionist Ville "Evil" Leppilahti, and bassist Toni "Ontto" Hietamäki. Moit left the band in 2016 and was replaced by Niko "Ikon" Lehdontie of Kairon; IRSE!. The band takes its name from "oranssi", the Finnish word for the color orange, and Pazuzu, a wind demon from Babylonian mythology. The band's style is described as a fusion of elements of psychedelia, dark ambient and Krautrock. AllMusic's James Christopher Monger described the band's music as a combination of black metal, psychedelic rock, space rock, and progressive metal. The band are considered by some to be one of the greatest progressive black metal bands of all time. Jordan Blum of Loudwire said they were "among the most fascinatingly idiosyncratic and fearless groups" in the genre. Refused drummer David Sandstrom cited Oranssi Pazuzu as his favorite band.
