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."
Проснись и Пеки
Pharaoh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a shake of Stan
Early in a morning nigga wake'n'back
Smoking with tha habbie if u smoke like me
Smoking not tell:“we gotten pussy P”
Wanna be like Atie, I’m like oh, ok
Smoking to myself cuz I smoke of me
Thinking are she quite but is not okay..
Открыл глаза, я пахну свежей хвоей.
Сука, не звони, оставь меня в покое.
Пока кручу, в кровать пускаю корни.
Я будто в лучшей киске, когда курю джоинт!
Новая труба, это кто?
Мне по*уй на "Дубак", мне так тепло.
В зиплоке свежий плод, это любовь;
Если я был с твоей сукой, то, считай, ей повезло.
"Шишкин лес", мы крутим base. Лали снова просит есть
В этом никаких чудес и вижу зип - я курю весь
Вижу зип - я курю весь. Благородье в моих лёгких.
Всех гектаров мне не счесть.
Wake'n'Bake
Просыпаюсь во вчерашнем, нахожу вчерашний дранк.
Откусил вчерашней пиццы, прикрутил вчерашний блант.
Повсюду хлам, вокруг тела, бросаю кости на диван.
Взрываю блант, чтоб раздуплиться, и я опять обкурен в кал.
Я отменил свои дела, я не поеду никуда;
Погода шепчет: "Всем *изда".
Я залипаю на экран. Смотрю, как флексит детвора
И колочу себе еще PayPal.
Вокруг бардак, но убираться я *бал
На Коменде ровно в 7, и я не помню,
Обещал ли Splinter Cell
И Booty в скайпе, я смеюсь, я снова в хлам.
Планы сдвинутся на день, но я опять встаю с утра -
Пафнул раз, пафнул два;
Математика простая, без заумных интегралов
В бонг колотится гидра и мне так похуй, кто ты -
Я не беру телефон!
Wake'n'Bake
The lyrics to PHARAOH & Boulevard Depo's song "Проснись и Пеки" (Wake'n'Bake) describe the artists' love for waking up early in the morning and smoking marijuana. The song starts off with the lyrics "Bitch I got that tank, and a shake of Stan," which references the slang for a large container of marijuana and a nickname for the strain Skywalker OG. The artists then go on to talk about smoking with their friends before the rest of the world wakes up and smoking as they go about their day. The chorus repeats the phrase "Wake'n'Bake," reinforcing the central theme of the song.
The Russian lyrics in the song describe waking up in a messy, hungover state and finding comfort and clarity in smoking marijuana. The artists dismiss any responsibilities or plans for the day, preferring to continue smoking and enjoying their high. The lyrics also reference different strains of marijuana and smoking apparatuses like a bong and joint.
Overall, the lyrics to "Проснись и Пеки" glorify marijuana use as a way to escape reality and find enjoyment in the mundane. The song reflects a larger trend in rap and hip hop music, where drug use is often celebrated and glamorized.

Bitch I got that tank
I have a lot of weed
And a shake of Stan
And a strong strain called Stan
Early in a morning nigga wake'n'back
Wake up and smoke weed in the morning
Smoking with tha habbie if u smoke like me
Smoking with friends if they also smoke weed like me
Smoking not tell:“we gotten pussy P”
Smoking weed and not discussing getting laid
Wanna be like Atie, I’m like oh, ok
Wanting to be like someone else but accepting who you are
Smoking to myself cuz I smoke of me
Smoking weed alone because I enjoy it
Niggas allright day niggas this oh lay
Friends are okay but sometimes prefer to be alone
Thinking are she quite but is not okay..
Assuming someone is quiet when they might not be okay mentally
Открыл глаза, я пахну свежей хвоей.
Waking up and smelling the pine
Сука, не звони, оставь меня в покое.
Asking someone not to call and leave him alone
Пока кручу, в кровать пускаю корни.
Staying in bed and relaxing while rolling joints
Я будто в лучшей киске, когда курю джоинт!
Feeling great while smoking weed
Новая труба, это кто?
Getting a new smoking pipe and wondering who made it
Мне по*уй на "Дубак", мне так тепло.
Feeling warm and cozy while smoking and not caring about anything else
В зиплоке свежий плод, это любовь;
Finding fresh weed in a ziplock bag and feeling happy
Если я был с твоей сукой, то, считай, ей повезло.
Imagining being with someone else's girlfriend and feeling satisfied
"Шишкин лес", мы крутим base. Лали снова просит есть
Rolling joints with high quality weed and feeling hungry
В этом никаких чудес и вижу зип - я курю весь
Enjoying smoking all the weed from the bag and feeling good
Благородье в моих лёгких.
Feeling like royalty while smoking
Всех гектаров мне не счесть.
Feeling like he has an endless supply of weed
Wake'n'Bake
Waking up and immediately smoking weed
Просыпаюсь во вчерашнем, нахожу вчерашний дранк.
Waking up feeling hungover and finding leftover alcohol
Откусил вчерашней пиццы, прикрутил вчерашний блант.
Eating leftover pizza and smoking a leftover joint
Повсюду хлам, вокруг тела, бросаю кости на диван.
Seeing a messy room and throwing dice on the couch
Взрываю блант, чтоб раздуплиться, и я опять обкурен в кал.
Smoking a joint to wake up and feeling high again
Я отменил свои дела, я не поеду никуда;
Canceling plans and not going anywhere
Погода шепчет: "Всем *изда".
The weather is bad and making him feel down
Я залипаю на экран. Смотрю, как флексит детвора
Getting distracted by the screen and watching young people flexing
И колочу себе еще PayPal.
Making money through PayPal while being high
Вокруг бардак, но убираться я *бал
Seeing a mess but not feeling motivated to clean up
На Коменде ровно в 7, и я не помню,
Having plans but not remembering them clearly
Обещал ли Splinter Cell
Not remembering if he promised to play Splinter Cell
И Booty в скайпе, я смеюсь, я снова в хлам.
Talking to a girl on Skype and laughing while being high
Планы сдвинутся на день, но я опять встаю с утра -
Plans are postponed for a day but still waking up early
Пафнул раз, пафнул два;
Smoking weed once, then smoking weed twice
Математика простая, без заумных интегралов
Simple arithmetic without complicated integrals
В бонг колотится гидра и мне так похуй, кто ты -
Smoking from a bong and not caring who the person is
Я не беру телефон!
Ignoring phone calls while being high
Wake'n'Bake
Waking up and immediately smoking weed
