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."
Из-за тебя

В зеркале горю холодным светом звезды
Ищу диалог смерти, слишком быстрой езды
И наблюдаю как горят все мои мосты
Ты хотела сделать так, чтоб я проиграл
Я в курсе скрытых смыслов, я как полиграф
Я всю тебя построил, будто бы в Minecraft
На тот момент, будто запер себя в себе
Тысячи сомнений на наш счёт
Насчёт тебя, насчёт меня
Насчёт всей жизни
Насчёт всех ближних, помоги, Всевышний
Я не чувствую ни**я, будто стал льдышкой
Но что-то там же есть ещё?
Кроме бабок, кроме тёлок, чем мир поглощён
Будто всё под расчёт
Но что-то есть ещё
Йе
Плевать на гордость
Я буду мил ко всем твоим знакомым
Но в них живёт лишь только мрак и подлость
Я говорил тебе, я говорил тебе
Но ты не послушаешь, может, ты такая же?
Если сверлить дырку — не найти алмазных залежей
Если так любишь правду, почему на неё скалишься?
И ё**нный комфорт, ради чего ты раскаешься
Я ненавижу быть грубым, только быть другом
Только, сука, прыть кругом, с ними не добыть руды
Мне не полюбить такую, мне не полюбить вслепую
И это не купить -
Но ты вряд ли это знаешь
Ведь сама ты ищешь залежь
И мы с тобой не в сериале
Всё реально, я взрываю пальмы
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя
О, из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Из-за тебя - о, из-за тебя
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Я не люблю из-за тебя
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Из-за тебя
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Из-за тебя из-за тебя
Из-за тебя
Из-за тебя
The lyrics to Pharaoh's song "Из-за тебя" (Because of You) delve into themes of longing, loss, and self-reflection in the context of a strained relationship. The singer returns home, unsure of where their partner is, feeling a cold and empty presence in the reflection of a star's cold light. They seek a conversation with death, a ride that may be too fast, and observe as all their bridges burn.
The singer acknowledges that their partner wanted them to lose and asserts their awareness of hidden meanings, comparing themselves to a polygraph machine. They feel they have built their entire being around their partner, like constructing a world in the game Minecraft, giving them so much power that they become weak. They describe a moment of confinement, imprisoning themselves within themselves, plagued by countless doubts about their relationship, about themselves, and about life in general. They question the existence of anything beyond materialistic pursuits and wonder if everything is calculated or if there is something more to it.
The lyrics take a turn towards an expression of disregard for pride. The singer declares they will be kind to all the acquaintances of their partner, but in them they only see darkness and treachery. They confront their partner, having told them things that they seemingly didn't listen to, wondering if their partner is the same. They juxtapose the fruitless search for diamond deposits while drilling a hole with the love for truth and why their partner clings to it. They question the comfort their partner seeks and what regrets it will bring them.
The singer confesses their disdain for being rude, desiring only friendship, but surrounded by hostility, unable to find any ore among them. They admit their inability to love someone like their partner blindly and that such love cannot be bought. They imply that their partner is also searching for a deposit or something meaningful, but their situation is not a scripted series—they are living a real life, where the singer feels they are causing explosions.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of frustration and confusion in a deteriorating relationship, where the singer deeply questions the motives and actions of their partner while also examining their own role and emotions in the situation.

Прихожу домой, я не знаю, где ты
I come home, not knowing where you are
В зеркале горю холодным светом звезды
I burn in the mirror with the cold light of stars
Ищу диалог смерти, слишком быстрой езды
I seek a dialogue with death, too fast of a ride
И наблюдаю как горят все мои мосты
And I watch as all my bridges burn
Ты хотела сделать так, чтоб я проиграл
You wanted me to lose
Я в курсе скрытых смыслов, я как полиграф
I know hidden meanings, I am like a polygraph
Я всю тебя построил, будто бы в Minecraft
I built you up, as if in Minecraft
Я отдал тебе столько сил, что стал слаб
I gave you so much strength that I became weak
На тот момент, будто запер себя в себе
At that moment, it's like I locked myself in
Тысячи сомнений на наш счёт
Thousands of doubts about us
Насчёт тебя, насчёт меня
About you, about me
Насчёт всей жизни
About the whole life
Насчёт всех ближних, помоги, Всевышний
About all the neighbors, help, Almighty
Я не чувствую ни**я, будто стал льдышкой
I don't feel a damn thing, like I became ice
Но что-то там же есть ещё?
But is there something else there?
Кроме бабок, кроме тёлок, чем мир поглощён
Besides money, besides girls, what is the world consumed by?
Будто всё под расчёт
As if everything is calculated
Но что-то есть ещё
But there is something else
Плевать на гордость
To spit on pride
Я буду мил ко всем твоим знакомым
I will be kind to all your acquaintances
Но в них живёт лишь только мрак и подлость
But only darkness and meanness live in them
Я говорил тебе, я говорил тебе
I told you, I told you
Но ты не послушаешь, может, ты такая же?
But you won't listen, maybe you're the same?
Если сверлить дырку — не найти алмазных залежей
If you drill a hole, you won't find diamond deposits
Если так любишь правду, почему на неё скалишься?
If you love the truth so much, why do you sneer at it?
И ё**нный комфорт, ради чего ты раскаешься
And fucking comfort, what are you repenting for?
Я ненавижу быть грубым, только быть другом
I hate being rude, just being a friend
Только, сука, прыть кругом, с ними не добыть руды
But damn, just hypocrisy all around, can't get any ore from them
Мне не полюбить такую, мне не полюбить вслепую
I cannot love someone like that, I cannot love blindly
И это не купить
And it cannot be bought
Но ты вряд ли это знаешь
But you hardly know that
Ведь сама ты ищешь залежь
Because you are looking for a deposit yourself
И мы с тобой не в сериале
And we're not in a series with you
Всё реально, я взрываю пальмы
Everything is real, I'm blowing up palm trees
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Because of you, because of you
О, из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Oh, because of you, because of you
Из-за тебя - о, из-за тебя
Because of you - oh, because of you
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Because of you, because of you, because of you
Я не люблю из-за тебя
I don't love because of you
Из-за тебя, из-за тебя
Because of you, because of you
Из-за тебя
Because of you
