In the end the guitars were recorded in just 2 days, so Jussi decided to have a little holiday as well. We soon found out the sound was not up to industry standards, so we sent Jussi to America. For the second album we wanted to have the classic big guitar sound, and started working on it in Pori, Finland. We love the spirit in this project, working with these people we are like humble fanboys taking part in a dream project. The first album (2012) with a bit different lineup came out of Jussi’s and Aaron’s conversations on the Isis/Circle tour in 2009, and the 2nd album with this lineup came in 2018. PO: Split Cranium is a kind of On/Off project, an outlet for our love for hardcore music. PO: We got Aaron to feature on the previous album 5, and wanted to collaborate with him again.Į&D: You worked with Aaron, Faith Coloccia and Nate Newton in Split Cranium. Aaron got inspired by the material and ended up making all the songs, and that’s when the album found its final shape.Į&D: Where did the idea of working with Aaron Turner on this Pharaoh Overlord album come from in the first place? After this we had no hurry and we decided to make some adjustments to it, made the instrumental part ready and then asked Aaron to make some vocals for some songs. We had the album almost ready when the pandemic started to hit and our tour got cancelled. Jussi had made some demos and based on those we recorded and produced the material. We wanted to have the album released for our tour with OM in May, and we had only one weekend to record it. PO: Most music on the album was made in January 2020. How did the recording and creation of the album go? Gavin Brown had a chat with the band to hear how this collaboration happened and their shared musical history with Aaron (featuring a contribution from the man himself) as well as musical highlights, touring with Sleep and what several of the band’s other group Circle are up to next.Į&D: Your new album 6 is out very soon. Pharaoh Overlord have just released their brilliant new album 6, a record which marries the bands synth led soundscapes with the vocals of guest singer Aaron Turner.
