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 ↴
Дышал, что над телом делать (делать) бритвой, сука, что?
Обозреватель Daemon Tools, мой флоу,iso
Архив из фраз шепчу на ухо твоей молодой
Смотрю на своё тело после выхода кино (кино-о-о)
Дышал, что над телом делать (делать) бритвой, сука, что?
Обозреватель Daemon Tools, мой флоу,iso
Так, где мой телефон - блэк
Вычисляю твой блант, сука, никогда не ври мне
Загружаю старый блат, новый блант, архивируй
Шесть, мой новый мир плюс один на вид
Распакуй её, пусть она кричит, так, чтобы слышал
Каждый понял, как она кричит (вот так, пау)
Воздух тает в моих венах, лишь законы О2
21 век уже ножом исполосован
Я увижу её новой, неформат уже, но похуй (мне похуй)
Мне, я говорю по слогу, Даймон овер моё соло, еп
Iso
Iso мой флоу, is is, iso мой флоу (A)
Iso
Iso мой флоу, is is, iso мой флоу (Тварь)
Iso
Iso мой флоу, is is, iso мой флоу (A)
Iso
Iso мой флоу, is is, iso мой флоу (Тварь)
Смотрю на её тело, в руке я сжимал клинок
Душа летела в папку из-под порно, сука, что?
Обозреватель Daemon Tools, Мой флоу, iso
Кручу лишь под Capslock'ом в кухне твоей моло
Забудь что, и я, будто ветер, открыл шторы
Сны в интернете, твой сольный петтинг, все мутят образ, я здесь за этим (за этим)
Вы можете плакать на камеру, сколько вам будет угодно (сгореть им)
Но может дебилы любили бы больше, не будь она модной
Пепел на бутонах роз, в моих платьях литр Voss
Твоя сука - архиварий, прикрепляю ссылку в пост
Firewall, лает волк, сотни блантов, сверху шёлк
Проскочил, как чиллят трупы в мраке, я давно ушёл
Я всё знаю, весь твой образ, сука, где молчишь, где стонешь
Весь твой облик отражаю запоздавшим долбоёбам
На короткий поводок ты прицепила свою шкуру
Ты теперь мне рвёшь трубу, но мы тут с Федей просто курим
Iso
Iso мой флоу, is is, iso мой флоу (A)

The lyrics of PHARAOH's song Phlow.iso describe the rapper's self-reflection after watching a movie and contemplating what to do with his body. The lines "Дышал, что над телом делать (делать) бритвой, сука, что?" suggest that he may have considered harming himself with a razor. He then references the "Daemon Tools" program, comparing his flow to an ISO file, which is a type of archive format used for storing disks on a computer. This suggests that he sees himself as a collection of phrases and ideas that he can manipulate and organize in a similar way that files can be organized in an archive.
The lyrics continue to reference various computer-related terms, such as "Capslock'ом" and "Firewall", as well as sexual and violent themes. The line "Zabud' chto, i ya, budto veter, otkryl shtory" suggests that the rapper is sneaking into someone's home and watching them engage in sexual activities online. Towards the end of the song, he asserts his knowledge of the person's every move and appearance, implying a stalking or obsessive behavior.
Overall, the lyrics of Phlow.iso are cryptic and disturbing, suggesting an obsession with technology and a detachment from reality, mixed with violent and sexual fantasies.

Смотрю на своё тело после выхода кино
I'm examining my body after watching movies
Дышал, что над телом делать (делать) бритвой, сука, что?
I wondered what to do to my body with a razor, what the hell?
Обозреватель Daemon Tools, мой флоу,iso
I'm the Daemon Tools observer, my flow is like an iso file
Архив из фраз шепчу на ухо твоей молодой
I whisper phrases into the ear of your young one like an archive
Так, где мой телефон - блэк
So, where is my black phone?
Вычисляю твой блант, сука, никогда не ври мне
I'm calculating your joints, don't ever lie to me, bitch
Загружаю старый блат, новый блант, архивируй
I'm loading an old beat, a new joint, archive it
Шесть, мой новый мир плюс один на вид
Six, my new world plus one in sight
Распакуй её, пусть она кричит, так, чтобы слышал
Unpack her, let her scream so that everyone can hear
Каждый понял, как она кричит (вот так, пау)
Everyone understood how she screams (like this, pow)
Воздух тает в моих венах, лишь законы О2
The air melts in my veins, only the laws of O2
21 век уже ножом исполосован
The 21st century is already slashed by a knife
Я увижу её новой, неформат уже, но похуй (мне похуй)
I'll see her in a new way, no longer conventional, but I don't give a fuck (I don't give a fuck)
Мне, я говорю по слогу, Даймон овер моё соло, еп
To me, I speak syllable by syllable, Daemon over my solo, damn
Смотрю на её тело, в руке я сжимал клинок
I'm looking at her body, I was holding a blade in my hand
Душа летела в папку из-под порно, сука, что?
My soul flew into a folder under porn, what the hell?
Кручу лишь под Capslock'ом в кухне твоей моло
I'm only spinning under Capslock in your young one's kitchen
Забудь что, и я, будто ветер, открыл шторы
Forget it, and I, like the wind, opened the curtains
Сны в интернете, твой сольный петтинг, все мутят образ, я здесь за этим (за этим)
Dreams on the internet, your solo petting, everyone distorts the image, I'm here for it (for it)
Вы можете плакать на камеру, сколько вам будет угодно (сгореть им)
You can cry to the camera for as long as you want (let them burn)
Но может дебилы любили бы больше, не будь она модной
But maybe idiots would love her more, if she wasn't trendy
Пепел на бутонах роз, в моих платьях литр Voss
Ashes on rose petals, a liter of Voss in my dress
Твоя сука - архиварий, прикрепляю ссылку в пост
Your bitch is an archivist, I'm attaching a link to the post
Firewall, лает волк, сотни блантов, сверху шёлк
Firewall barks like a wolf, hundreds of joints, silk on top
Проскочил, как чиллят трупы в мраке, я давно ушёл
I slipped away like corpses chilling in the dark, I left a long time ago
Я всё знаю, весь твой образ, сука, где молчишь, где стонешь
I know everything about your image, bitch, where you're silent, where you moan
Весь твой облик отражаю запоздавшим долбоёбам
I reflect your entire appearance to the belated fucktards
На короткий поводок ты прицепила свою шкуру
You've attached your skin to a short leash
Ты теперь мне рвёшь трубу, но мы тут с Федей просто курим
Now you're blowing a horn at me, but we're just smoking with Fedi here
