Der Ohlsen "On this coloss of slowly stomping, hypnotic Heavy Psych the Finns Pharaoh Overlord renew their sound with repetitive guitar riffs, a permanent Drone of hurdy gurdy and nyckelharpa, combined with noisy Metal chords and atmospheric layers of both subtle and shiny synths. On top of that roars the inhumanly hoarse voice of Sumac's Aaron Turner. Uuuaaarrrghh!"

Inner Reflexions Magic born out of authenticity, integrity and maturity.

Crinklechips More Pharaoh Overlord. Monotonous, hypnotic, spacious and this time with Hurdy Gurdy!

When Aaron Turner starts vocalising it begins to sound like the classic line up of Fields of the Nephilim if they had stayed together and continued to experiment…

Smekermann Holy shit, suddenly Pharaoh Overlord is on the cutting-edge of avantgarde music. Never doubted they would get there :")

This album is a high water mark in their discography. It's weird, out-there drone/folk/(kraut)rock with an angry ogre philosopher arguing about things sometimes. Favorite track: Louhi (Part 2).

costello75 This is boss. A tasty and skillful mash-up that thrills and intrigues from beginning to end. Can't wait to find out what they do next- the bar is set very high... Favorite track: Amager feat. billy woods.

Daniel Welsch Das Album beginnt mit dem würdevoll schreitenden Spiritual Jazz von „Skopje“, ELUCID gibt den Hohepriester, Rasmussens Saxofon windet sich elegant um seine Stimme. Auf den folgenden sieben Songs begnügt sich Rasmussen selten mit der Nebenrolle: entweder stehen ihre hochenergetischen Saxofon-Soli im Zentrum des Songs wie im folgenden „Three Headed Axe“ oder Rasmussen agiert wie eine weitere Rapperin neben den Gast-MCs.
