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.

Be The Hammer & JOHN 316 - Besiegers (Soil Records)

Obstructed is the latest EP from They Came from Hell, composers/sound-designers Philippe Gerber and Chris Gilmore. The EP marks the final chapter of releases built around their ‘Symphysiotomy’ sample library. They have previously released two EP’s ‘Osteotome’ and ‘Obstetrics’. The two-track release features one track from each of the composers. Chris Gilmore’s track, ‘The Fruit for The Tree’ is a dark orchestral affair. A simple piano melody is framed by an ominous and foreboding soundscape. As the track develops more and more industrial elements are added along with harsh strings and dark brass. Philippe Gerber’s track, ‘The Barbarian’ sees him utilize what appears to be a heavily processed choir to great effect. The “choir” sets you up for a track that ultimately goes far and away from those opening “voices''. After that moment of light, Gerber then drags that choir straight to the depths of hell, from which they will never be seen or heard from again.

Philippe Gerber has been behind various musical projects for more than two decades, from bands like Heat From A DeadStar to different collaborations with various renowned artists, however, it is worth mentioning Gerber's work under his alias JOHN 3:16, although we should also include his contributions as Dj Phys, a nickname under which he has released some releases over the past decade.

JOHN 3:16 is since 2008 his most prolific project and with which we remember the great album released in 2022 with Be The Hammer on Industrial Complexx. Philippe Gerber has once again signed a great album on the independent label Alrealon Musique under this alias.

The Pact brings together a total of 9 tracks in which the American producer shows an enormous aptitude for combining different sound concepts such as industrial, post-metal or darkwave. The result is a conceptual work, with an epic and heartbreaking story, in which gloomy, disturbing and disconcerting landscapes emerge. An album that is undoubtedly ideal to understand the musical legacy of JOHN 3:16.

Release date: April 4th, 2024.
