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 ↴
Кого ебет, что говорят про лучших из России.
Десятки черных ветров парень я на бошку выше,
Они меня зовут - я вида не подал, что слышу.
Я убил снова бит для забавы,
Бой, что копил безвозмездно отдал им.
Вгрызались им в головы сотни метафор,
Но даже гранит сохранил в себе пафос.
Стиль догорает пока дышит воин.
Я глупый суки, я как божество,
Я над захранением восставших изгоев.
Окровавленное эго меня душит изнутри,
И значит что-то тут не так, если шалава не хитрит.
Это холодный сименс!!!
Никто вокруг тогда не верил в это,
Ты думал ты охотник, нет, дружок, ты просто жертва.
Это холодный сименс!!!
Это холодный сименс!!!
Это холодный сименс!!!
Это холодный сименс!!!
Это холодный сименс!!!
Это холодный сименс!!!
In Pharaoh's song "Cold Siemens," the rapper reflects on his own ego, power, and the fact that he has turned into something of a bullying figure. He admits to behaving like a fool in the company of others, and not caring about what people say about him. The opening line translates to "I behave like a complete scumbag when I'm with them," and sets the stage for the rest of the song. The phrase "cold siemens" is repeated throughout the track, signaling that this label is somehow important to Pharaoh's identity.
The theme of dominance over others is evident throughout the song, as Pharaoh raps about being taller and stronger than those around him, and that he doesn't care if he hurts them with his words or actions. He also speaks about his ego choking him from the inside out, and how there is something off about him if women aren't trying to play games with him. Ultimately, "Cold Siemens" is a song about a man struggling with his own identity and power, and how that impacts those around him.

Веду себя, как конченная мразь, когда я с ними,
I behave like a complete loser when I'm around them,
Кого ебет, что говорят про лучших из России.
I don't give a damn what they say about the best in Russia.
Десятки черных ветров парень я на бошку выше,
I'm ten steps ahead of these black winds.
Они меня зовут - я вида не подал, что слышу.
They call out to me but I pretend not to hear.
Я убил снова бит для забавы,
I killed another beat for fun,
Бой, что копил безвозмездно отдал им.
the fight that I stored up, I gave away for free.
Вгрызались им в головы сотни метафор,
Hundreds of metaphors gnawed at their heads,
Но даже гранит сохранил в себе пафос.
But even granite retained its pathos.
Попробуй задеть меня тварь за живое,
Try to touch me, you creature,
Стиль догорает пока дышит воин.
Style burns out while the warrior still breathes.
Я глупый суки, я как божество,
I'm a stupid son of a bitch, I'm like a god,
Я над захранением восставших изгоев.
I'm lord over the uprising outcasts.
Окровавленное эго меня душит изнутри,
My bloody ego chokes me from the inside,
И значит что-то тут не так, если шалава не хитрит.
And something's not right if the slut isn't scheming.
Это холодный сименс!!!
This is a cold Siemens!!!
Никто вокруг тогда не верил в это,
No one believed in it at that time,
Ты думал ты охотник, нет, дружок, ты просто жертва.
You thought you were the hunter, no, buddy, you're just the prey.
Это холодный сименс!!!
This is a cold Siemens!!!
