Waste Of Space Orchestra

Waste Of Space Orchestra realizes the intriguing proposition of combining two whole bands into one, as the entire lineups of Oranssi Pazuzu and Dark Buddha Rising are mashed into one ten-member behemoth. Anyone familiar with either band will be comfortable here, as songs on the 2019 debut Sytheosis either retain the imitable black spaciness of Pazuzu or the drawn-out drone of Buddha, and as these two bands aren't that far apart individually, this seems like a natural blending of like-minded ideals. There are very few bands in this, er, space (one that occasionally comes to mind is the enigmatic Wolvennest), and the ability to retain both a dreamy atmosphere along with some harsh elements is quite admirable. As both component bands are active, this may only be a short-term collaboration.
