Pharaoh Overlord, or Pharaoh Overlörd on some releases, is a Finnish band who have played in multiple genres. They were formed in 2000 by members of the band Circle.
While much of their work is not metal, they have released a single heavy metal album called Out of Darkness in 2011, as well as the hard/stoner rock album #4 in 2006. Other genres they have played include psychedelic rock, space rock, and Krautrock.
According to band member Jussi Lehtisalo, the use of the two spellings of their name, Pharaoh Overlord and Pharaoh Overlörd, is to signify that there are two versions of the band. Pharaoh Overlord (pictured bottom) recorded most of the group's albums, while Pharaoh Overlörd (pictured top) recorded #4 and Out of Darkness.
