'Louhi' finds Pharaoh Overlord unleashing a towering, two-track minimalist-rock epic of joyful repetition and elemental force. Built around the core duo of Jussi Lehtisalo and Tomi Leppänen, the album fuses guitars, synths, and hurdy-gurdy into a single riff-driven journey that builds with hypnotic intensity. Inspired not by Finnish myth but by the double meaning of the word “Louhinta” (both bitcoin mining and playing extremely heavy riffs), the record channels a primal heaviness that feels timeless and unyielding. Drawing from the focused atmosphere of Tony Conrad with Faust’s 'Outside The Dream Syndicate', 'Louhi' reflects on the band’s origins while pushing their sound into new territory.

Aaron Turner (SUMAC, Isis, Old Man Gloom) and Richard Dawson join Pharaoh Overlord in crafting this immersive soundscape. Turner’s vocal approach captures the immediacy of an unplanned live take, while Dawson’s single, deliberate guitar strum adds a rustic, caravan-like atmosphere. The result is a time-warping homage to Finnish folk textures and experimental rock minimalism—a sonic reset to the moment before the band’s formation, designed to propel them forward. 'Louhi' stands as a celebration of repetition, texture, and the boundless landscapes of sound that Pharaoh Overlord have explored for 25 years.
