PHARAOH: Work(s) in progress!

After almost two-year silence it’s time for PHARAOH to hit the road again, with a bunch of new releases coming out 2010-2011.
Following the incredible success of their third album “Be Gone” (Cruz Del Sur Music 2008) and their first-ever live appearances at Keep It True festival (Germany) and at the Alehorn of Power (Chicago, US), the band took a little break which has now finally come to an end.

The first item to be released is a 7’’ split EP with fellow-mates CANVAS SOLARIS (Sensory Records). These two bands have committed to an excited but demanding task, covering each one a different CORONER song! PHARAOH performs a very professional and convincing version of CORONER’s classic “Tunnel of Pain”, while CANVAS SOLARIS hits the right notes with their personal version of “Arc-Lite”. This 7’’ is to be intended as a tribute to the legendary Swiss band of which both PHARAOH and CANVAS SOLARIS are long-time fans!
The release will see the light before summer 2010 and will be strictly available through Cruz Del Sur Music mail-order and other selected sales point. Read more “PHARAOH: Work(s) in progress!”

WHILE HEAVEN WEPT: Unfortunate news…but with light at the end of the tunnel

It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of our appearances at Metalcamp 2010 as well as the Born To Be Doomed festival in Baltimore this year. Cancelling any show is very difficult for us emotionally and spiritually…those of you who have been with us for a while know that we’ve even brought in stand-in musicians to make things happen in the past, but unfortunately, sometimes things simply don’t work out no matter what we do.

A statement from Tom Phillips:

Greetings to all…

It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of our appearances at Metalcamp 2010 as well as the Born To Be Doomed festival in Baltimore this year. Cancelling any show is very difficult for us emotionally and spiritually…those of you who have been with us for a while know that we’ve even brought in stand-in musicians to make things happen in the past, but unfortunately, sometimes things simply don’t work out no matter what we do.

Regarding Metalcamp, extenuating circumstances that neither the Metalcamp organization nor WHW ourselves could resolve…despite exhausting every last possibility…have resulted in WHW being cancelled from the billing for this year. Part of this can be attributed to conflicting schedules, along with truly outrageous expenses, and a few other personal matters that we’ll make public when appropriate (don’t worry, they’re not malign). The bottom line is we hope that we’ll be able to reschedule for Metalcamp 2011 (or after), and will let you know if and when this is sorted out.
