1. Though its earliest echoes ring back to 1997, American heavy metal act PHARAOH released its debut album via the Cruz del Sur Music label in 2003. Paradoxically entitled After the Fire, the album’s robust and resilient songwriting caught the ears of selective metal fans worldwide. Three years later in 2006, The Longest Night fell and was an immediate underground favorite. As modern and hi-resolution as it was pure and orthodox, The Longest Night also boasted a substantive production that allowed all ten songs to resonate in full splendor.
Once again inspired by the fans’ response to their hard work, the songwriters of PHARAOH laid plans to make yet another leap forward, and by the middle of 2007, a third album was ready for production. Returning producer/engineer Matt Crooks and the band set to work without hesitation, starting in July and continuing for the remainder of the year. The band had already agreed on titling the album Be Gone several months before entering the studio, because a singular theme emerged early in the songwriting process. Songs such as the radiant "Speak to Me" and the bottomless epic "Buried at Sea" examine the inherent flaws of mankind, pitted hopelessly against the seemingly omniscient and unwavering power of nature. Similarly, the soaring strains of "Dark New Life" and sinister waves of "Telepath" offer narratives from a world where the human race is blazing paths to literal and emotional extinction. The inevitable disappearance of mankind is the overarching theme embodied in Be Gone’s musical storytelling.
Musically, Be Gone features songwriting that is at once complex and compact. Matt Johnsen’s now-trademark layering of guitars creates a rich and fertile backdrop for master-vocalist Tim Aymar’s powerful and arresting expressions. The rhythm section of bassist Chris Kerns and drummer Chris Black keeps the momentum high, deftly supporting all of the multi-layered melodic invention happening at every turn. Always mindful of not only the genre’s traditions but also its own, the band this time invited Riot guitarists Mark Reale and Mike Flyntz to contribute hard-cutting solos to "Dark New Life", and regular guest guitarist Jim Dofka performs a dazzling spot on "No Remains". Because the four bandmates form various songwriting combinations, PHARAOH’s albums have a characteristic diversity and depth that few other bands achieve.
PHARAOH’s songwriting and studio performances have reached greater heights with each successive album. Grandiose and inviting, Be Gone out-classes its predecessors, and few heavy metal groups have ever sounded as erudite as PHARAOH does, ripened from a decade of intense work together. Like the albums before it, Be Gone is the band’s invitation to all free-thinking heavy metal loyalists to join them at the edges of the genre’s collective imagination. PHARAOH’s steadfast dedication to its album-making craft has delayed its live debut, which will finally come in the form of select shows during 2008. Aiming high as always, PHARAOH will deliver every bit of its majestic energy onstage, performing songs from its entire history. Indeed, 2008 may deliver PHARAOH unto the heavy metal mainstream, thanks to the band’s long-awaited live debut and of course the release of Be Gone, a future classic of American heavy metal.
Mid-2010 PHARAOH released a 7" split single along with Canvas Solaris as a Tribute To Coroner, featuring a melodic rendition of Coroner's "Tunnel Of Pain", a new E.P. being slated for early 2011 celebrates 10 years of Pharaoh with several special renditions of cult favorites and various PHARAOH-esque arrangements fans would normally not expect.
2. A doom/sludge metal band from New Jersey. Since 2009, Pharaoh have been playing and touring throughout the East Coast and Southern United States. The Demonstration was released in 2011 on A389 Recordings. This spring, Pharaoh releases This House is Doomed, our 2012 7". They are for you. They are going to be available for digital download when you purchase a copy as well.
3. A sleaze rock/glam punk band from Washington State released in 1991 EP "On Your Knees".
4. Russian hip-hop artist representing Dead Dynasty coalition. He used to be part of YungRussia, a association created by Boulevard Depo in 2014, which ceased to exist in 2016. In the past, he adopted other pseudonyms, like Leroy Kid and Castro The Silent. He is very influenced by Rammstein, Kid Cudi and Kurt Cobain, and has been described as a mix of "Justin Bieber" and "Kurt Kobain". About this, he said: "if I'm being compared to Kurt Kobain, it means I'm doing everything right."

Pharaoh Lyrics

Я всё бы отдал чтоб повернуть время вспять
И лунный свет упадет на кровать
Хочу тебя рядом хватит себе врать
Я кручу под лунным светом
В моих мыслях только ты
Киллометры пустоты
Девять бланков дрожат бланды
Кручу новый элегантно
Я страдаю, исчезаю
Ты не рядом, ты чужая
Я задыхаюсь каждый раз
Как вижу вместе вас
И мои слезы по щекам
Будто десятки страз
Я знаю мы не можем больше быть с тобой вдвоём
Но знай что я всегда смогу тебя согреть крылом
Сегодня ночью я без тебя
Я всё бы отдал чтоб повернуть время вспять
И лунный свет упадет на кровать
Хочу тебя рядом хватит себе врать
Молча и на ухо
Я кричу в подушку
Идеальный инстаграмм
Современный тумблер
Тропика на леди
Сводно ва лут бука
С нею на танцполе
Под биты му-Джуса
И она видит в глазах моих страсть
Я под таблеткой и я вижу Богиню
Возьму за руку, мы уйдем туда
Где мой киллер нам Балгати закинет
Носки, босоножки, да она интернет икона
Я не сплю, ни ем, ищу по друзьям её мобильный номер
Дай мне шанс, дай минуту
Детка, я тебя достоен
Не стреляй в моё сердце дважды ведь закончатся слёзы
Сегодня ночью я без тебя
Я всё бы отдал чтоб повернуть время вспять
И лунный свет упадет на кровать
Хочу тебя рядом хватит себе врать
The lyrics to Pharaoh's song "Бойсбэнд" express a sense of longing, regret, and heartbreak. The singer is yearning for a love that has ended and is grieving its loss. He wishes he could turn back time to when they were together, as the moonlight falls on his empty bed. He cannot stop thinking about the person who has left him and feels empty without them. The pain of being separated from this love is unbearable; he gasps for breath every time he sees them with someone else. Though he knows they can never be together again, he promises that he will always protect her with his wings. The second verse talks about the modern world and the singer's search for the girl he loves through social media.

Сегодня ночью я без тебя
Tonight, without you, I feel incomplete and lost
Я всё бы отдал чтоб повернуть время вспять
I would do anything to turn back time and have you back in my life
И лунный свет упадет на кровать
The moonlight falls on my bed, reminding me of the emptiness without you
Хочу тебя рядом хватит себе врать
I want you beside me and I can't keep lying to myself about the pain of your absence
Я кручу под лунным светом
I spin under the moonlight, lost in my thoughts of you
В моих мыслях только ты
You are the only one in my thoughts
Ты ушла оставив сердце
You left, leaving my heart behind
Километры пустоты
There is only emptiness for miles around me
Девять бланков дрожат бланды
Nine blank pages tremble in my hands
Кручу новый элегантно
I elegantly spin a new song, trying to move on
Я страдаю, исчезаю
I suffer and disappear, consumed by my love for you
Ты не рядом, ты чужая
You are not here, and I feel like a stranger without you
Я задыхаюсь каждый раз
Every time I see you with someone else, I feel suffocated
Как вижу вместе вас
When I see you together, my heart breaks
И мои слезы по щекам
My tears flow down my cheeks
Будто десятки страз
As if hundreds of rhinestones are falling from my eyes
Я знаю мы не можем больше быть с тобой вдвоём
I know we can never be together again
Но знай что я всегда смогу тебя согреть крылом
But know that I will always be there to comfort you
Молча и на ухо
Whispering silently in your ear
Я кричу в подушку
I scream into my pillow
Идеальный инстаграмм
The perfect Instagram post
Современный тумблер
A modern Tumblr page
Тропика на леди
Tropical paradise on a lady
Сводно ва лут бука
Everything is in the right place
С нею на танцполе
Dancing with her on the dance floor
Под биты му-Джуса
To the beats of Mu-Jusa
И она видит в глазах моих страсть
She sees passion in my eyes
Я под таблеткой и я вижу Богиню
Under the influence of a pill, I see a goddess
Возьму за руку, мы уйдем туда
I'll take her hand and we will go somewhere
Где мой киллер нам Балгати закинет
Where my killer will throw us towards Balgati
Носки, босоножки, да она интернет икона
Socks, sandals, she's an internet icon
Я не сплю, ни ем, ищу по друзьям её мобильный номер
I can't sleep or eat, I search through friends for her mobile number
Дай мне шанс, дай минуту
Give me a chance, give me a minute
Детка, я тебя достоен
Baby, I'm worthy of you
Не стреляй в моё сердце дважды ведь закончатся слёзы
Don't shoot my heart twice, tears can only last so long
