Reading “Black Metal” and “Finland” in the same phrase does ring a bell, but don’t fool yourself, that’s not what Black Metal Raccoons are about. In the frozen lands where most black and doom metal bands reign nowadays, this playful duo Alex Morelli and Ville Verkkapuro formed in Helsinki 2015, using Josh Homme and Jesse Hughes’s Eagles of Death Metal as an inspiration. With clear nods to other contemporary bands such as Moon Duo, Disappears or the more dense and obscure Soft Moon. Black Metal Raccoons are the perfect union between old-school space rock (more like Hawkind, less like Spaceman 3) and kraut/electronic (the idyllic ambient of Tangerine Dream translated to this era) but still having a personal sound on its own.
