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."
Ты На Луне Забери Меня Нах_й Отсюда

И вижу только одну грязь
Ты меняешься вслед за вещами
Я застрял на этой планете
Никогда не мечтал о котлах
И не хотел себе их сук
Будто рядом со мной Кортни Лав
Я чужой на этой планете
Я чужой на этой планете
Я чужой на этой планете
Я чужой на этой планете
Я совсем один здесь, я
Я совсем один здесь, я
Я совсем один здесь, я
Я совсем один здесь, я
Я совсем один здесь, я
Я совсем один здесь, я
Я совсем один здесь, я
Я совсем один здесь, я
The lyrics of Pharaoh's song "Ты На Луне Забери Меня Нах_й Отсюда" capture a sense of alienation and detachment from the world, painting a picture of the singer descending from the heavens in the morning and being confronted with a bleak and dirty reality. The repetition of "I am a stranger on this planet" reinforces this feeling of not belonging, of being disconnected from the world around them. The mention of not dreaming of cauldrons and not wanting them for oneself hints at a rejection of societal expectations and norms, further highlighting the singer's sense of isolation and difference.
The line "You change along with things" suggests a sense of impermanence and flux in the singer's relationships and surroundings, indicating a lack of stability or consistency in their life. The reference to feeling like Courtney Love is nearby adds a touch of surrealism and celebrity association, perhaps reflecting a desire for escape or identification with figures who are also seen as outsiders or misfits in society. This imagery contributes to the overall feeling of alienation and disconnection that permeates the song.
The repeated refrain "I am completely alone here, I" underscores the singer's solitude and isolation, emphasizing the depth of their detachment from others and their surroundings. The repetition of this line further reinforces the theme of loneliness and separation, creating a sense of emotional distance and longing for connection. The use of repetition in the lyrics serves to heighten the feeling of isolation and loneliness, hammering home the sense of being an outsider in a world that feels unfamiliar and unwelcoming.
Overall, the lyrics of this song evoke a poignant sense of alienation and estrangement, with the singer feeling like a stranger in a world that does not understand or accept them. The imagery of descending from the heavens, encountering a dirty reality, and feeling completely alone conveys a powerful sense of isolation and detachment, inviting listeners to reflect on themes of identity, belonging, and the search for connection in a world that can often feel indifferent and hostile.
