It’s “Devil’s Night,” the evening before Halloween, so naturally the time has come for PHARAOH’s pummeling doom/hardcore inspired full length debut Negative Everything. Noisey are streaming the entire record beginning today, and praise is high. “With their new LP Negative Everything, the band aims to drag you down through the cracks of the Earth’s crust, and into whatever void you can find.” In celebration of the new record, Pharaoh are currently on a North American tour with label mates Homewrecker. 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.
