OUT OF DARKNESS

This album dives most further to studies of eighties heavy metal riffs and songwriting, mimicking the stylistic nuances of groups like Judas Priest, Ronnie James Dio and late 1980's Black Sabbath. The album covers remembering the teenage flags of the time give correct signal of the material. I personally am not very fond of this kind of music, but listening this record carefully though made it evident for me, how well the material is performed and captured to the album. So if you have appetite for elevating hard rock / heavy music with really powerful riffs, this chapter of the Pharaoh Overlord's artistic progress certainly offers it with fine quality. Those interested of more meditative recordings might enjoy other albums of the band more, f.ex. "#1", "Horn", "Siluurikaudella" or "Lunar Jetman" based on my own listening encounters.
