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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Эта сука не со мной
Белый панк убьет их скот
В спину мне кричат: "изгой!"
Дюжина психов, тут будто детройт
Когда я молчал из них сыпался гной
Уверен ли ты, что ты можешь быть мной
И контрольный в затылок, ты в прошлом
Чувствуй меня так чтобы отмирали клетки
Демоны внутри, мы заключали с ними сделки
Те MC убоги, будто маленькие девки
Я в руке держал убийцу, вы вставали на коленки
Сука заткнись
Когда мы с Джей Элом мотаем на кисть
Копы сосите, я чист
Ведь мы с Джей Элом мотаем на кисть
Двадцать пять трупов
Запястье флексит, что
Двадцать пять раз на секунду
Я башляю в этом будто
Собрался откупить у Бафомета свою душу
На меня смотрят эти люди
Каждый факбой тянет руку и мечтает о салюте
Но никакой для них любви
Кисть мотает за команду и покажет, кто тут лучший
Намотал её пряди на кисть и качаю рукой, словно я DMX
Каждый ёбаный день мне кричат: "Тварь, проснись!"
Я сонный, но вертится быстро моя кисть
Но вертится быстро моя кисть
Палец держит гашетку
Сука, заткнись, пока мы мотаем
Молча опустись вниз, fight
Сука заткнись
Когда мы с Джей Элом мотаем на кисть
Копы сосите, я чист
Ведь мы с Джей Элом мотаем на кисть >
The song "Мотая на кисть" by PHARAOH feat. Techno is written in Russian and speaks about drug use, violence, and being an outcast. The first verse speaks about smoking a blunt that has turned black, indicating that it has been used excessively. The singer notes that the female with him is not worth his time. He then speaks about a "white punk" who will kill his enemies and outcasts, like himself, and how he hears them calling him a "pariah" behind his back.
The second verse describes the singer's inner demons and how he has made deals with them. He then belittles other MCs, calling them childish and poor quality. He states that he once held a killer in his hand, but his enemies will always bow down to him. The chorus repeats the line "when we wind on the brush," which means when they roll on the paintbrush, indicating drug use. The last part of the chorus tells the cops to suck it because the singer and his friend are clean.
The final verse speaks about the singer's life being like a video game with him killing 25 people in one second, indicating his violent tendencies. He wants to redeem his soul from Beelzebub, and people around him envy him, dreaming of salutes. The final line references DMX and his music, indicating that the singer also wants to become famous. In summary, the song is about drugs, violence, and trying to fit in with society.

Блант обуглен белой мглой
The marijuana joint is burnt and covered in a white smoke
Эта сука не со мной
This girl is not with me
Белый панк убьет их скот
The white punk will kill their livestock
В спину мне кричат: "изгой!"
They scream "outcast!" behind my back
Дюжина психов, тут будто детройт
A dozen of psychos, it feels like Detroit
Когда я молчал из них сыпался гной
When I was quiet, puss was oozing out of them
Уверен ли ты, что ты можешь быть мной
Are you sure you can be me?
И контрольный в затылок, ты в прошлом
Controlled and behind, you're in the past
Чувствуй меня так чтобы отмирали клетки
Feel me until your cells start dying
Демоны внутри, мы заключали с ними сделки
Demons inside, we made deals with them
Те MC убоги, будто маленькие девки
Those MCs are pathetic, like little girls
Я в руке держал убийцу, вы вставали на коленки
I held a killer in my hand and you were kneeling
Сука заткнись
Shut up, bitch
Когда мы с Джей Элом мотаем на кисть
When me and Jay L are rolling a joint
Копы сосите, я чист
Police, suck it, I'm clean
Ведь мы с Джей Элом мотаем на кисть
Because me and Jay L are rolling a joint
Двадцать пять трупов
Twenty-five corpses
Запястье флексит, что
My wrist is flexing, what
Двадцать пять раз на секунду
Twenty-five times per second
Я башляю в этом будто
I'm high in it like
Собрался откупить у Бафомета свою душу
I'm about to redeem my soul from Baphomet
На меня смотрят эти люди
These people are looking at me
Каждый факбой тянет руку и мечтает о салюте
Every fake boy extends their arm and dreams about a salute
Но никакой для них любви
But there is no love for them
Кисть мотает за команду и покажет, кто тут лучший
The joint is rolled for the team and will show who's the best
Намотал её пряди на кисть и качаю рукой, словно я DMX
I rolled its strands onto the joint and shake my hand, like I'm DMX
Каждый ёбаный день мне кричат: "Тварь, проснись!"
Every fucking day they scream at me: "Freak, wake up!"
Я сонный, но вертится быстро моя кисть
I'm sleepy, but my hand is spinning quickly
Палец держит гашетку
My finger is on the trigger
Сука, заткнись, пока мы мотаем
Bitch, shut up while we roll
Молча опустись вниз, fight
Silently, go down, fight
