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 ↴
Если мы когда-нибудь станем одними из них.
Они будут помнить, что они победили -
Назад пути нет
Я навечно буду в своей зоне.
Ты лишишься жизни, если тронешь.
Мы ни разу не просили помощь.
Ты так хочешь быть мной,
Но есть одна помеха,
Попыткам не будет светить ничего,
Кроме громкого смеха.
Ты похож на это стадо в Instagram'е,
Что свой имидж ставят наряду с сакральным.
От людей осталось лишь одно название,
Эти деньги в моих пальцах обещанье.
Мы дали той суке дыхание,
Пока ты *бал её в уши.
Ты смотришь на нас,
И ты хочешь быть с нами,
Но нам из вас никто не нужен.
Не вини меня за свою тупость,
Возвращайся в интернет и клубы!
Скажи суке, что ты её любишь,
Я смотрю на то, кто вырыл яму глубже.
У страха нет лица! Давай жри, не отрицай.
Я не чувствую лица, верю только своим псам.
У страха нет лица! Давай жри, не отрицай.
Я не чувствую лица, верю только своим псам.
The lyrics to Pharaoh's song ФОСФОР depict the rapper's sense of detachment from society and a rejection of the traditional norms of success and happiness. He acknowledges that people will hate him because of how repulsive he appears to be, but he does not care as he is content in his own zone. The rapper also communicates that he and his companions have never asked for help nor have they uttered the words that his detractors utter. The song has elements of pride, bitterness, and defiance, and serves as a testament to the rapper's unwillingness to conform to societal expectations.

Люди будут ненавидеть нас потому, что мы отвратные;
People will hate us because we are disgusting;
Если мы когда-нибудь станем одними из них.
If we ever become like them.
Они будут помнить, что они победили -
They will remember that they won -
Назад пути нет
There is no turning back.
Я навечно буду в своей зоне.
I will forever stay in my zone.
Ты лишишься жизни, если тронешь.
You will lose your life if you touch me.
Мы ни разу не просили помощь.
We never asked for help.
Как и слова, которыми ты соришь.
As well as the words you stutter.
Ты так хочешь быть мной,
You want to be me so badly,
Но есть одна помеха,
But there is one obstacle,
Попыткам не будет светить ничего,
Your attempts won't lead to anything,
Кроме громкого смеха.
Except for loud laughter.
Ты похож на это стадо в Instagram'е,
You are like the herd on Instagram,
Что свой имидж ставят наряду с сакральным.
Who put their image next to sacred things.
От людей осталось лишь одно название,
Only one name remains from the people,
Эти деньги в моих пальцах обещанье.
These money in my hands are a promise.
Мы дали той суке дыхание,
We gave that bitch the breath of life,
Пока ты *бал её в уши.
While you fucked her in the ears.
Ты смотришь на нас,
You look at us,
И ты хочешь быть с нами,
And you want to be with us,
Но нам из вас никто не нужен.
But we don't need anyone from you.
Не вини меня за свою тупость,
Don't blame me for your stupidity,
Возвращайся в интернет и клубы!
Go back to the internet and the clubs!
Скажи суке, что ты её любишь,
Tell that bitch you love her,
Я смотрю на то, кто вырыл яму глубже.
I am looking at the one who dug the hole deeper.
У страха нет лица! Давай жри, не отрицай.
Fear has no face! Come on, eat, don't deny it.
Я не чувствую лица, верю только своим псам.
I don't feel faces, I only trust my dogs.
У страха нет лица! Давай жри, не отрицай.
Fear has no face! Come on, eat, don't deny it.
Я не чувствую лица, верю только своим псам.
I don't feel faces, I only trust my dogs.
