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."

Я говорю суке, что мне надо сделать sip
Ведь это моя малышка, будто бы я п**офил
Ольга Бузова — стилистика, нам мало половин
Я рычу на тупых б**дей, будто бы я Lion King (р-р-р)
Я стреляю в этих сук, будто бы я Liam Neeson
Я могу тебя купить зарплатой своего юриста
Сука, дай мне свою суку, между нами была искра (искра)
У меня есть ш**хи с деньгами (ш**хи)
Но всегда лучше ш**хи с мозгами (всегда лучше)
Я не имею дел с ментами (ролл)
Но я слишком реален (пу-пу)
(А-а) Пацан реален (а-а)
Будто он играл в "Реале" (будто)
Сниму кино, как Woody Allen (кино)
Ты п**бота, но тебя пиарят (пяу)
Пососи мой х**, если ты хочешь за кулисы (нет)
Набери моих парней, если ты хочешь накуриться (у-у)
Мне приехал свёрток прямо с Украины с проводницей (куда?)
Было много городов, где запрещали материться
Я выкуриваю кэс и я захожу в аэропорт (ху-ху)
Со мной девочка, похожая на Ксюшу Раппопорт (ху)
Это — пятая за день, похоже, иду на рекорд
Но не кину якорь, ведь это привычка моряков
Эта сука с Украины, мне придётся делать визу (что?)
И, по ходу, мне придется, сука, слушать Севдализу
Чтобы прятаться в подвале в дату моего релиза (как?)
Просто попроси совета, сука, своего стилиста (сук)
Я-я будто сплю сейчас (сейчас)
К нолям ещё прибавил два (ещё два)
К нолям ещё прибавил пять (ещё пять)
Я верю лишь цифрам, людям уже не могу доверять
(эй, прр, fake)
Я-я будто сплю сейчас (сейчас)
К нолям ещё прибавил два (ещё два)
К нолям ещё прибавил пять (ещё пять)
Я верю лишь цифрам, людям уже не могу доверять
Я у неё под кроватью, я монстр (монстр)
На мне костюм Valentino, не Bosco (не Bosco)
Я полетел на свой собственный остров (куда?)
"Да, это жёстко" (куда?)
Я давно всем отказал им в отцовстве (эй)
Я свечусь светом, как будто апостол
Сука, молчать, я хочу сказать тост: (что)
"Пусть хотят, чтоб ты летел, те, с кем ползал"
Прр-р, пау-пау-пау, чик-чик
Пффф, ту-ту-ту, хм-хм
The lyrics of "тост" by PHARAOH feat. Молодой Платон touch on several themes such as wealth, power, relationships, and trust. The song is rapped in Russian, and the lyrics have a boastful and confident tone. The chorus "Я будто сплю сейчас, к нолям еще прибавил два" translates to "I'm like sleeping right now, I've added two more zeros," reflecting on the idea of accumulating wealth and success.
The first verse talks about the rapper's relationship with a girl, asserting his possession of her and comparing himself to a pedophile, acknowledging the line and contending that it is his girl. The verse also mentions Olga Buzova, a Russian TV host, and media personality, implying that she is not enough, and the rapper needs more than just her.
The second verse speaks of the rapper's distrust for people, especially law enforcement, preferring to associate with people, referred to as "ш**хи," having brains over mere wealth. Additionally, the verse references the Ukrainian girl in the first verse, referencing the difficulty of keeping her around and listening to Sevdaliza, a Dutch-Iranian singer, making allusions to an attempt to solve the migration problem through marriage.
Overall, "тост" is a combination of fierce bravado and self-assuredness, with lyrics that reflect its creators' experience and worldview.
