The second you tap play on Oranssi Pazuzu’s new album, ‘Muuntautuja’, you’re sucked ear-first into an immersive yet nightmarish void. Bioalkemisti begins the record with a series of pulsing synths, their ever-quickening speed pulling you closer. It’s a hypnotic induction into a 42-minute maelstrom of black-metal screams, krautrock, psychedelia and noise, which swirls and disorients while the rhythms stay simple, keeping you stuck in place and bobbing your head as all manner of hell unfurls. In 2024, no other metal album has felt so challenging while remaining accessible at the same time.

Geordie Greep’s debut solo album is a smutty mix of chamber pop, Baxter Dury and Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads. Over 11 tracks we are introduced to energetic, desperate characters envisioned and performed by the former Black Midi guitarist — they plead and prate and ultimately fail to reassure. As a group they seem locked in an occasionally delicious death spiral of substance abuse and sexual ennui. You’re going on a journey, or actually, several.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor have always excelled at crafting poignant, expansive post-rock, telling instrumental stories where words won’t do. Never has that sentiment been more true than with ‘No Title as of 13 February 2024, 28,340 Dead’. The band’s eighth album’s title makes explicit reference to the death toll in Gaza and its six movements are odes to both the devastation wrought and also small glimmers of hope.

Shawn Mendes has pushed back the release of his new album.
