Wastement
Wastement is a musical and spiritual collective based in Nekala, Tampere, Finland. [1] The heart of the collective is a place called Wastement, a rehearsal space and studio in which most of the collective's bands compose and record their albums. Members of the collective are active in various musical projects and bands; some of the best known include Dark Buddha Rising and Oranssi Pazuzu.
In 2016, Wastement conducted a Finnish Takeover at the Roadburn Festival with five of the collective's bands playing at the festival.[2] This was aptly commented on by Finnish music export association Music Finland: [3]
The festival has presented several local musical movements before, but five different bands from a basement located in a 3000-inhabitant neighborhood, Nekala (in Tampere, Finland), must be a record of some kind.
Another takeover took place in 2017 when Atomikylä, Mr. Peter Hayden, and Oranssi Pazuzu performed at Roskilde Festival.[4] Festival booker Stefan Gejsing commented in the festival's guide:[5]
The metal scene in Finland is really buoyant at the moment. Some of the most interesting bands right now have grown out of the same rehearsal space, which they have dubbed Wastement. They are a collective, sharing members across bands. All bands have in common that they play metal, but they reference many other genres like space rock, ambient, prog, psych, doom, and black. Collectively, they will make your head spin!
In 2018, the Wastement presence at Roadburn Festival continued as Dark Buddha Rising and Oranssi Pazuzu performed the first commissioned work for the festival. Groups joined to perform as Waste of Space Orchestra, consisting of the full lineups of both groups.
For the first time, we have commissioned two groups of entirely separate musicians to create music to be performed specifically at Roadburn. Today we’re thrilled to announce the first of those groups of musicians. Familiar to most Roadburners, Dark Buddha Rising and Oranssi Pazuzu are combining their forces to write and perform a new concept piece especially for Roadburn 2018. The collaboration will be named Waste of Space Orchestra.[6]
