A Substitute for Love is the first attempt in writing a ballad: The slower pace and the immediately recognizable chord progression of the intro, reminiscent of H.I.M. leave space then to more Nu Metal vibes in the verse and turning into a progressive metal cavalcade in the mid section.


The two topics of the lyrics are deeply connected with each other. On one hand bulimia and the tendency to ritual self devouring excess and expulsion of the necessary to maintain a neurotic control. 


On the other hand it is the story of an unrequited love, of the same excess of binging through the other and of an end made of distance and longing.


Two topics related to each other through rejection, through a final unsuccessful recognition of what used to feed, metaphorically and literally.


The closing line "Never forgive, never forget” can be applied to both situations - to the rejected, thriving inside the loop of the distance and still unable to find peace. To the bulimic disorder itself, in its tendency towards repetition and annihilation.


Love feeds. Love purges. Regurgitate and glorify.


The video, created by Maksim Berg, was shot in Minsk / Belarus. Through the words of the director:


"When we do not accept ourselves, we try to appropriate or destroy what we like, fleeing from ourselves in mania, forgetting ourselves."

A Substitute for Love


Could it be the deceit of these last days? 

A sombre relief in disguise,

Could it be that we are caught in this slumber? 


And indifference cuts in the raw flesh,

The self in the siege it defies

Every memory, turning to absence.


Dissimulate and move away,

As fate will grip you in its invisible ways

Your skin, so clear, a battlefield of desire. 

Nothing compares to you,

A substitute for your love.


And no matter how far you are,

These hands will reach you,

And no matter how Idle. 


All these bodies around,

Satisfying hollow thirst. 

Nothing remains of you,

A substitute for your love.


So alienated, so reckless and secure, 

Your certainties crumble inside, 

Within the retch your beauty is a facade. 


And when predators will seek for your secrets, 

Your weakness will grow through their claws. 

You will remember what it used to be us. 


And distance feeds morbid appetites,

The more you leave, the faster the hunt becomes, 

Regurgitate and glorify, 

Nothing can hold your fall, 

A substitute for your love. 


And no matter how far you are,

These hands will reach you,

And no matter how Idle. 


All these bodies around,

Satisfying hollow thirst. 

Nothing remains of you,

A substitute for your love.


And no matter how high you are, 

The lower you'll crawl, 

And no matter this emptiness


All these shadows around

Like your youth, they will fade, 

Nothing remains of us, 

A substitute for this love. 


Mirror, mirror on the wall 

Dolboieb i pizdobol


Never forgive, never forget.

Be the Hammer [B_Γ_H] is a Belgium-based collaborative project revolving around its sole constant member, Raoul Puke, surrounded with various contributors depending on the release. He started with recording material alongside thereminist / vocalist Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock (Baby Fire, von Stroheim), thus giving birth to Be the Hammer's first album, Tangled Mass, released in 2015.

Later on he teamed up with guitarist / co-producer Jean-Marc Nicoletti (UnSoNiC), forming the project's current line-up.

Their music comes from a combination of drone and spoken word, but keeps exploring various paths, and lately has been including more and more rhythmic elements.

JOHN 3:16 is the guise of Philippe Gerber, formerly one third of the London-based trio Heat From A DeadStar (2004 – '09), who became the first non-US band to be signed by Rick Harte's Boston-based Ace Of Hearts Records. As JOHN 3:16, Gerber's music has been released by Alrealon Musique, Flood Records, 75orLess, White Label Music and more. Gerber has collaborated with the likes of Oxbow's vocalist Eugene S. Robinson, Pas Musique, I-Symptom, Peter Webber and Mark Harris.

Swarm is the outcome of a remote collaboration between these three, resulting in a 44 minute long sonic nightmare, the score to a horror film that doesn't exist.

let the rain fall down on me
let me drown
let me drown
let the love fall inside of me
let me fall
into the ground

let the rain fall down my face
let me cry
let me cry
let the love die inside of me
let it die
let it die

let love die

let the rain fall down on me
let me drown
let me drown
let the love die inside of me
let it die
let it die

let love die

let love die...

Let Love Die
