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."

Не *изди со мной кретин ты мне не кореш (ты не кореш)
Я создатель твоей жизни ты ведь помнишь (ты же помнишь)
Курим с king'ом в деке чемо и восточный (это чемо)
Я спускаюсь в чахлый сад, склизким пальцем клею блант
Цепи в торфе, в венах морфий - бесконечный листопад
Мы же знаем, что ты врешь! Твоё true - это *издеж!
Тут никто о тебе больше не услышит
Вытираю нож она стала хлюпать тише
Кто ты, лох который всем и всюду лижет
Или лживый клоун в море папиных наличных
- меня не *бет!
Всем навечно будет по*уй.
Всем навечно будет по*уй.
Деревья покроются мхом.
Лохмотья покроются пеплом.
В густой темноте клуб забьётся битком.
Ведь чтобы прозреть им придётся ослепнуть!
Деревья покроются мхом.
Лохмотья покроются пеплом.
Курю, чтобы тут забывать о плохом
И смотреть на неё вспоминая о Светлом!
Вспоминая о Светлом, вспоминая о Светлом;
Вспоминая о Светлом - я, я вспоминаю о Светлом!
Вспоминая о Светлом, вспоминая о Светлом;
Вспоминая о Светлом - я, я вспоминаю о Светлом!
The lyrics to Pharaoh's song "Вспоминая О Светлом" (Remembering The Bright) capture the artist's introspective journey, using vivid imagery and metaphors to delve into complex themes of self-discovery and inner conflict.
The opening lines, "I, I, I walk as I want, as you want" convey a sense of independence and rebellion. Pharaoh asserts his autonomy, refusing to be controlled by others. He then addresses someone, dismissing them as a "cretin" and insisting that he is the creator of their life, a reminder of his influence and power over their perception. The following line suggests that Pharaoh and his friends are indulging in indulging in recreational drugs, "smoking chem with the king." This reference to drug use highlights the escapism and hedonism that are present in his life.
The next verse portrays a darker and more introspective tone. Pharaoh describes entering a dilapidated garden, where he rolls and smokes a blunt (a marijuana joint). The image of "chains in peat, morphine in veins" symbolizes his struggle with addiction and his continuous descent into a state of self-destruction. He acknowledges that he is disconnected from a higher power, feeling lost and unaware of the presence of God. The imagery of a knife coming out of a fool's throat suggests Pharaoh's readiness to harm others, showcasing his dark and violent tendencies.
In the chorus, Pharaoh expresses a disdain for society and the consequences of their actions. He concludes that everyone will ultimately face adversity and indifference, and that their opinions or actions are meaningless. The repeating phrase "Всем навечно будет по*уй" (Everyone will forever get screwed) highlights his nihilistic worldview, demonstrating a sense of detachment and indifference to the world.

We smoke with the king on the deck, a cheap drug and an Eastern one (that's the stuff)
Я спускаюсь в чахлый сад, склизким пальцем клею блант

Вытираю нож она стала хлюпать тише
I wipe the knife, she started moaning quieter
Кто ты, лох который всем и всюду лижет
Who are you, sucker who licks everyone and everything
Или лживый клоун в море папиных наличных - меня не *бет!
Or a lying clown in a sea of daddy's cash - it doesn't scare me!
Всем навечно будет по*уй.
Everyone will always screw off.
Деревья покроются мхом.
Trees will be covered in moss.
Лохмотья покроются пеплом.
Rags will be covered in ashes.
В густой темноте клуб забьётся битком.
In thick darkness, the club will be packed.
Ведь чтобы прозреть им придётся ослепнуть!
Because in order to see the truth, they will have to go blind!
Курю, чтобы тут забывать о плохом
I smoke to forget about the bad
И смотреть на неё вспоминая о Светлом!
And to look at her, remembering the Bright One!
Вспоминая о Светлом, вспоминая о Светлом;
Remembering the Bright One, remembering the Bright One;
Вспоминая о Светлом - я, я вспоминаю о Светлом!
Remembering the Bright One - me, I remember the Bright One!
Вспоминая о Светлом, вспоминая о Светлом;
Remembering the Bright One, remembering the Bright One;
Вспоминая о Светлом - я, я вспоминаю о Светлом!
Remembering the Bright One - me, I remember the Bright One!
