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."

В тумане не видно пути, я не знаю
И веки не держат глаза
Мой облачный мир раскололся на части
Ведь все мое сердце горит
И во пламени мир освящаю
Я плачу над телом
Любви не вернуться назад
Света лишь тонкая нить
В тумане не видно пути, я не знаю
И веки не держат глаза
Мой облачный мир раскололся на части
Ведь все мое сердце горит
И во пламени мир освящаю
Я плачу над телом
Любви не вернуться назад
Любви не вернуться назад
Можешь отличать меня от психа как угодно
Не хочу тебе вещать о том, что ты не прав
Нет никого, кто обладал бы своим мнением настолько сильно
Что молчал о нем всю жизнь, не говоря слова
Ангелы не курят дерьмо никогда
Их очень много, но я точно знаю, у меня их два
Заросшими тропами всегда находят лучи света
Когда рядом тьма и отбитое мычание
Кто-то надевает маски
Кто-то чертит из огней круг
Все так нелепо, когда у тебя нет власти (нет-нет!)
Над собой, кто из тех тебя ведет, как
Будто ты играешь каждый день в эту игру напрасно
Однажды ты поймешь, что ты уже труп
И тогда ты пойдешь убивать всех
Но убьешь ли ты себя, мой друг?
Света лишь тонкая нить
В тумане не видно пути, я не знаю
И веки не держат глаза
Мой облачный мир раскололся на части
Ведь все мое сердце горит
И во пламени мир освящаю
Я плачу над телом
Любви не вернуться назад
Любви не вернуться назад
Света лишь тонкая нить
В тумане не видно пути, я не знаю
И веки не держат глаза
Мой облачный мир раскололся на части
Ведь все мое сердце горит
И во пламени мир освящаю
Я плачу над телом
Любви не вернуться назад
Любви не вернуться назад
Тебе не понять, это просто абсцесс
Скажи, сколько дерьма во мне тоже процент
Ты мне смотришь в глаза, там открыто окно
Что скребет по стеклу, там вдали аэропорт
Пара лучей, тени громадны
Как круто, стекло
С ее крови на мрамор
Я слышал о ссорах, я слышал о планах
Там трубка пищит, отвечать еще рано
Фавела в Луне темно-красного моря
Кассета Роксет, в сером ящике хоррор
В зиплоке дерьмо, там сирена от скорой
Фигуры за дверью, шаги в коридоре (затвор)
Затвор передернут
Не терпится стать в руке смерти патроном
Один без тебя, как пойму, что гейм овер
Ты опять не доступна, не вычислить номер
The first verse of Pharaoh i61's song "Call the Ambulance" speaks of a delicate thread of light that provides a glimpse of hope in a foggy existence where the way forward is unclear. The singer cries over a lost love that cannot be regained. He describes his personal world as being broken into pieces, but his heart is still burning with a fiery passion that transcends his circumstances. In the chorus, the singer repeats the metaphor of the thread of light, emphasizing the fragility of hope and the uncertainty of his future.
The second verse takes a turn towards a more ominous tone, as the singer speaks about the impossibility of understanding mental illness unless one has experienced it themselves. He muses on the idea that people hide their opinions for fear of being judged, and ultimately the song reveals its theme of isolation and loneliness. The bridge introduces more chaotic imagery, describing noise and confusion like the sound of scraping glass and a screeching ambulance siren. The chorus is repeated once more, reminding the listener that despite the turmoil, the thread of light remains.
Overall, "Call the Ambulance" is a haunting song that touches on themes of pain and psychological trauma. The metaphor of the thread of light that runs through the song can be seen as a symbol of hope in the midst of despair. When paired with the unsettling imagery in the rest of the song, it makes for a powerful and thought-provoking listening experience.
