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."

Been fucked up for way too long
No, he didn't do nothing wrong
Been fucked up for way too long
Я вижу каждый день, кто без воды наречен тонущим
Во дворе мясо режут овощи
Пуститься под откос ты мне найдёшь ещё бы сто причин
Зависть убивает, потому я тут один
Мне всем не угодить: хотя бы я — мой господин
Люблю, когда я тлею — не ищу свой Анальгин
Я знаю наизусть всю твою ложь, как будто гимн
Мы могли бы быть лучше, чем мы есть
Но ты зачем-то лечишь, и ни слова про болезнь
Я вроде хотел дать уверенности — вышла лесть
Из-за таких как ты, Алесь, я хочу выше лезть
Месть
Я бы хотел чтоб мною двигала
Жизнь, словно выстрел Desert Eagle'а
Кем ты себя чувствуешь после веселья дикого?
Три дня работы мамы — дилеру с тебя убитого
Тупое-тупое стадо, пизда нам
Мы сами на себя надеваем пояс Саддама
В виде дешевого эго, дорогого грамма
Ведь ты при входе в клуб, как будто на пороге храма
Любовь — это не значит наносить друг другу травмы
Но если я доверюсь, то доверься мне на равных
Жизнь заставит стоять в стойке, но я не у стоек барных
Нет сверхсил без одиночества, как у героев Марвел
Период (Период)
Она сказала то, что без меня не хочет жить
Но я тебе не верю, как не верю всем чужим
Она сказала то, что без меня не хочет жить
Но я тебе не верю, как не верю всем чужим
Она сказала то, что без меня не хочет жить
Но я тебе не верю, как не верю всем чужим
Она сказала то, что без меня не хочет жить
Но я тебе не верю (Не верю)
Я погибаю в Подмосковье, нам с тобой не по пути
Я погибаю в Подмосковье, нам с тобой не по пути
Я погибаю в Подмосковье, нам с тобой не по пути
Я погибаю в Подмосковье, нам с тобой не по пути
По пути
Я какой день уже просыпаюсь с одной и той же мыслью
Для чего нам друг друга ненавидеть и друг друга топить
если мы можем друг другу помогать и друг у друга учиться?
The lyrics to Pharaoh's song Не по пути (Not on the way) speak about the struggles of an individual who feels like they don't belong anywhere. The first lines of the chorus repeat twice, emphasizing the point that this person didn't do anything wrong, but they have been struggling for a while. The verses describe the harsh realities of life, where people drown without water, and meat and vegetables are being cut in the yard. The singer tells someone they could find many reasons to give up on life but decides to push forward and suffer more despite being the best in their field. The person admits to feeling envy, which hinders their relationships with others, making them feel alone. The song mentions a desire for revenge as a means of moving forward and feeling like they have control in their life.
The chorus repeats the idea that someone said they cannot live without the singer, but the singer doesn't believe it. They feel alone in the world and like they are not on the same path as others. Despite wanting to help and learn from each other, the singer ponders the reason for the hate and negativity that has been impacting their life recently.

No, he didn't do nothing wrong
He did not commit any wrongdoing
Been fucked up for way too long
He has been in a bad state for too long
Я вижу каждый день, кто без воды наречен тонущим
I see every day who is drowning without water
Во дворе мясо режут овощи
In the courtyard, they are cutting meat and vegetables
Пуститься под откос ты мне найдёшь ещё бы сто причин
If you start to fall apart, you will find another hundred reasons
Но мне тут побольнее, будучи лучшим в этом поприще
But it hurts me more, being the best in this field
Зависть убивает, потому я тут один
Envy kills, that's why I am alone here
Мне всем не угодить: хотя бы я — мой господин
I cannot please everyone: at least I am my own master
Люблю, когда я тлею — не ищу свой Анальгин
I love it when I am burning, I don't look for my painkiller
Я знаю наизусть всю твою ложь, как будто гимн
I know by heart all your lies, as if they were a hymn
Мы могли бы быть лучше, чем мы есть
We could be better than we are
Но ты зачем-то лечишь, и ни слова про болезнь
But you treat for no reason, and don't say a word about the illness
Я вроде хотел дать уверенности — вышла лесть
I wanted to give confidence, but it turned out to be flattery
Из-за таких как ты, Алесь, я хочу выше лезть
Because of people like you, Alice, I want to climb higher
Месть
Revenge
Я бы хотел чтоб мною двигала
I would like to be driven by
Жизнь, словно выстрел Desert Eagle'а
Life like a Desert Eagle's shot
Кем ты себя чувствуешь после веселья дикого?
How do you feel after wild revelry?
Три дня работы мамы — дилеру с тебя убитого
Three days of your mother's work — dead weight to your dealer
Тупое-тупое стадо, пизда нам
Dumb-dumb herd, we're screwed
Мы сами на себя надеваем пояс Саддама
We put Saddam's belt around our own waist
В виде дешевого эго, дорогого грамма
In the form of cheap ego, expensive gram
Ведь ты при входе в клуб, как будто на пороге храма
Because at the entrance to the club, you act as if you are in front of a temple
Любовь — это не значит наносить друг другу травмы
Love does not mean inflicting wounds on each other
Но если я доверюсь, то доверься мне на равных
But if I trust, then trust me as an equal
Жизнь заставит стоять в стойке, но я не у стоек барных
Life will make you stand at attention, but I am not standing at the bar
Нет сверхсил без одиночества, как у героев Марвел
There are no superpowers without loneliness, as with Marvel heroes
Период (Период)
Period (Period)
Она сказала то, что без меня не хочет жить
She said she doesn't want to live without me
Но я тебе не верю, как не верю всем чужим
But I don't believe you, just like I don't believe strangers
Я погибаю в Подмосковье, нам с тобой не по пути
I am dying in the suburbs of Moscow, we are not going the same way
По пути
Along the way
Я какой день уже просыпаюсь с одной и той же мыслью
I wake up every day with the same thought
Для чего нам друг друга ненавидеть и друг друга топить
Why do we have to hate each other and drown each other?
