PHARAOH The Powers That Be By George Mihalovich, Pittsburgh Contributor Monday, July 12, 2021 @ 6:52 AM
The title track kicks things off in grand fashion and sets the tone for the album, which features memorable and relatable songs and exceptional individual performances —enhanced by meticulous production that is dense and layered but remains clear. Specifically, the rhythm section of Chris Black (drums) and Chris Kerns (bass) provides a thunderous and technical foundation for all of the compositions (note “I Can Hear Them” and “Lost in the Waves”).
Finally, noted Pittsburgh vocalist Tim Aymar (CONTROL DENIED, PSYCHO SCREAM, XTHIRT13N) ties everything together with his dark and aggressive vocals and stacked backgrounds. Tim’s idiosyncratic approach and range are an integral part of the PHARAOH sound, and he really shines on this disc.
The Powers That Be is a stellar effort that provides variety while remaining cohesive and maintaining momentum from start to finish — and further establishes PHARAOH as an important presence in the global metal scene.
