We’re only a few weeks out from the Halloween release of PHARAOH‘s crushing full length debut Negative Everything. The doom and gloom is getting thicker and the time is almost upon us. Today, PHARAOH are sharing their second single, “Dusted” on Brooklyn Vegan, who said it “brings sludge back to its roots of when hardcore bands started learning Black Sabbath riffs”. In anticipation for the record, the band will embark on a North American tour with label mates HOMEWRECKER beginning this Saturday, October 18th. Full dates can be found below.
Following the release of two exceptional singles, New Jersey’s own down/sludge/hardcore trio PHARAOH will release their long awaited full length debut,Negative Everything on October 31st via A389 Recordings. The enormous weight of the record and their wall of sound doom-inspired riffs offer a glimpse into Pharaoh’s debut, as the trio burn through different sonic elements of utterly primordial heaviness.
“This album is a schizophrenic array of heaviness. Musically and lyrically it gathers from a lot of our separate influences as a band yet each song is its own. We have definitely showcased growth and way more of what we can do as a heavy band and it probably isn’t what people will expect. That is a good thing.” – Pharaoh’s Rich Bukowski (guitar/vocals)
‘Negative Everything’ is a eight part epic that takes form as a wall of sound, closing in and crushing you with it’s sheer sonic velocity. Huge depressing riffs, crushing beats and tortured vocals enter the vortex with no fear of the unknown. This is Negative Everything.
