Ektro Records releases a vinyl pressing of Pharaoh Overlord’s impenetrable classic Siluurikaudella.

Ten years into its existence, Pharaoh Overlord’s seminal work Siluurikaudella has lost little of its baffling appeal. Upon its initial release in 2010, the abstract quality of the album garnered less than rave reviews from rock critics and left several listeners unable to contextualise this piece of art.

For the group, Siluurikaudella was a major move from riff-oriented expression – their sober take on stoner rock – to a free-form tightrope of ‘no safety nets allowed’ policy. The album, which at the time of its release was a stone-cold artistic statement, has matured into a meaningful depiction of today’s complex society where random interpretations are taken as stubborn constants, unaltered by dialogue. What we see on Siluurikaudella is evidence of transformation of artistic nonconformism into holistic social commentary.

The vinyl constellation of Siluurikaudella consists of tracks ‘Vesitorni’ and ‘Piirros 3’.
