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 ↴
Сгораем напоказ, как в зубах модели блант.
Люблю давать сукам шанс окунуться в грязь.
Внутри горит любая, а со мной горится всласть.
Говорит, что мы знакомы, но я вряд ли знаю, кто ты?
Я курю почти до комы, чтобы слышать эти ноты.
Это слышат мои клоны и хотят быть частью моды.
И мне не нужны вершины,
Если там не будет всех моих друзей!
Господи, спасибо, что я выкупаю змей.
Эти рэперы - рабы, ведь индустрия - Колизей;
Я надеюсь после смерти в мою честь будет музей.
Ненавижу кашель, моя команда пашет.
Я всегда был настоящим, посылаю нахуй ящик!
Когда я приезжаю в город - город на ушах.
Я выпускаю Шаттл, суки пьют на брудершафт.
Я знаю, очень скоро нас полюбит этот шар.
Ты хочешь понять кто я, я и есть отдельный жанр.
И я трачу все на братьев, ведь они были всегда.
Каждый в моем squad'е - одинокая звезда.
И мы встанем друг за друга выше горного хребта.
У твоей подруги этот трек стекает изо рта.
Одинокая звезда, одинокая звезда;
Одинокая звезда красит в черный небеса.
Одинокая звезда, одинокая звезда;
Одинокая звезда красит в черный небеса.
Rest In Peace, Jenee — он поверил в меня первым.
Я ёбнул индустрию, но въебал все свои нервы.
Я на розовом комплекте, будто подписал с Палермо.
Моя мама мной гордиться, это значит - я на верном.
Спасибо Джей Элу, он приглядывал за парнем,
Пока парень делал деньги, пока парень ладил с кармой.
И ты вряд ли мог понять - это нихуя не шутки;
И тот путь, что позади, - он был не клевым, он был жутким!
Одинокая звезда, одинокая звезда;
Одинокая звезда красит в черный небеса.
Одинокая звезда, одинокая звезда;
Одинокая звезда красит в черный небеса.
The lyrics in Pharaoh's song "Одинокая звезда" depict his image as a successful rapper who lives life on the fast track. His life is compared to a highway where he always drives with the pedal to the metal, burning out in plain sight like a model's tooth. He loves to give everyone, even the dogs, a chance to get dirty with him. He reveals his darker side and urges his clones to follow his every move. Pharaoh confesses that he doesn't care about reaching the top if his friends are not with him, and he thanks God for buying snakes. In Pharaoh's perspective, other rappers in the industry are slaves to the Coliseum, but he believes that there will be a museum in his honor after his death.
Pharaoh shares his passion and love for his squad and refers to each member as a lonely star. They all have unique qualities that make them shine brightly. Pharaoh has spent everything he has on his squad because they have always been there for him, and he promises to have their backs, no matter what. He boasts that whenever he visits a city, everyone listens to his music, and he's confident that his music will soon be loved worldwide. He ends the song tributing Jenee and expresses gratitude to J. L. Azor for watching over him and helping him find success.
In summary, the song is about Pharaoh's success and his squad who he considers to be his family. Pharaoh cultivates the image of an independent, powerful figure who is not a slave to the industry's expectations.

And that path behind me - it wasn't cool, it was scary!
