Infernal Masquerade review of 'Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God'

2012-03-05T00:56:00.000-08:00

US webzine Infernal Masquerade recently published a review of the 5-track EP 'Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God' (P6M5EP001).

Below is an excerpt from the review:

"Closing with the hypnotic “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, John 3:16 nicely summarizes everything presented in this EP in just one track. We have a powerful atmosphere, droning drums, and post-rockish guitars all in one place. The song nicely builds up and culminates around the middle, just to slowly die off and make you want to hit the play button again.

Overall, John 3:16 is a pretty solid one-man effort that delivers very well crafted tracks with haunting atmospheres. The combination of genres is seamless and makes each track work very well. If you are looking for some good atmospheric/post-rockish music, look no further and get “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”."

New Review of "Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God" (P6M5EP001)

2012-02-06T01:47:00.000-08:00

Experimental wonder – Exploratory one-man band from Switzerland, synthesizing many different styles and genres such as those designed as psychedelic-electronic analog circuit no-wave, industrial, ambient, shoegaze, pop, trip-hop ...

I must admit that, despite the fact that these days are the ones of musical hyper-production where our internet keeps on pouring down one track after another, it had been a while that I had not had encountered such an arduous album to review.

John 3:16 is the solo project of an unnamed Swiss musician from the Geneva area, who would describes his music as experimental / ambient / drone / electronic. This is exactly it. And while this does not pose any particular problem per se, the close examination of this 20-minute EP unveiled its singular complexity.

I could sum it up by describing it as an organic-electronic mix of these above-mentioned genres blended into 5 instrumental tracks in which analog instruments, samplings and/or electronic machines are used. Actually, the problem is not even to define and reveal the technical details, but it rather lies in the difficulty to explain how all of this fusions.

In some sequences, the music seems to be purely experimental: some patterns of an extremely psychedelic ambient pop intertwined with industrial, rock, post-punk, avant-garde, no wave and trip-hop. The more I listened to these tracks, the more I realized that the impression they left me was each time a different one and I cannot help but thinking that this somehow was what the artist wanted. As if the primary idea was to confuse the listener by imposing different approaches of composition in which music genres, until recently considered as incompatible, articulate with each other.
My main headache reviewing this album came from the usage of the drum sound. Indeed, the drum beats at the pace of the dance style within a dense conglomerate of textures held together by a gloss of 'pop' music which reminds of early Swans, Cocteau Twins and The Cure, although the differences between these new tracks and the three bands listed as reference are quite essential. John 3:16 opposes the latent aggressiveness and brutality of no-wave/industrial music to the sensitivity of alternative pop and ambient music, including rock from the times of post-punk and goth, all merged in a totally new sound dimension. It happened to me that we might be facing here a whole new genre, a hybrid that has no name, and, as such, is unique. In any case, this work has all the fundamental characteristics of an avant-pop which will be difficult to classify, rationalize or categorize at the image of Mark Stewart’s experience after leaving the Pop Group and embarking with The Maffia on a study of funk, hip-hop, electronic,...

Usually, this collection of styles creates more 'noise' and ambiguity, but here the artist succeeded in composing layered structures which display a vast array of skills. He uses bass guitar, guitar, synth and drums in an experienced way and displays the skills of new-wave/post-punk talented musicians. I wouldn’t describe him as a virtuoso, but as a skillful composer with stylistic nuances. Besides, the titles of the tracks and EP clearly show that his main task was to relate a story which speaks about interconnectivity of earthly and spiritual lives. Of course, everything would have been far easier to interpret and understand had this musical style and genre previously existed ; it is generally more problematic when an artist creates an original sound and immediately associates it to a theme focused on metaphysics. This leads to many assumptions and approximations and opens the door for conflicting interpretations.

The introductory "Earthly father", only lasting a minute and a half, came as an experimental ambient 'intro' which emerges from nowhere, and immediately after that the "In the name of the Lord" confronts us with its no-wave aesthetic of early Swans, psychedelic tremolo guitars, transcendental sessions, silent gothic voices, pop tunes like the old classic The Cure and very nice airy guitar solos in the spirit of Cocteau Twins or even of Shoegaze bands like MBV or Pale Saints. All of this organized in a very complex arrangement, each subsequent section being different and banishing any repetition, which takes us out of the standard format of pop songs: intro-verse-chorus-solo. "Obey God" is another repetitive industrial / no-wave piece interlaced with electronic-guitar parts, the shorter "Redemption" is full of ambient interlude psychedelic 'drive trip', and the final track "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" testifies of a complex structure which includes almost inaudible spoken-word vocals placed at the very end of the track. There are also here musical patterns of the family of experimental-psychedelic, industrial and no-wave, inviting some tip- toeing trip-hop which ultimately leaves the listener totally confused.

To cut it short - "Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God" is very difficult to apprehend for unprepared listeners. John 3:16 has invested a lot of knowledge in these tracks which resulted in them being truly original. He has beyond doubt invented a new musical genre that reaches far beyond the pure musical experiment. It has a meaning and a creative charge. Finally this far-from-absurd pioneering project may be looked at as a true bold creative act, a rare move in our current musical scene.

Obskure Magazine Review / Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God

2011-12-19T01:02:00.000-08:00

Sylvain Nicolino of Obskure Magazine has written a review of 'Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God' (out via P6M Records - P6M5EP001). The review has been published in the November/December 2011 issue.

"Le retour attendu de John 3:16 se fait à travers un CD-R cinq titres instrumental, en édition limitée. Un peu court pour bien s'imprégner de ces climats brumeux desquels émergent ici et là une mélodie lumineuse (« In the Name of the Lord »), un accompagnement poisseux à la Swans s'évanouit sous les vociférations d'un prédicateur (« Sinners in the Hands...») ou encore une mélodie évanescente («Redemption »). Les rythmiques étouffées parviennent à claquer et pétarader dans le lointain, créant un décor de feux d'artifice pour nuits de solitude (« Obey God »). Si la vie éternelle ne nous est pas donnée, ce ne sera pas la faute de John 3:16, un Français basé en Suisse qui s'ingénie à nous donner la bande-son d'un monde duquel on s'évapore à coups de dissonances et réverbérations."

"The expected return of John 3:16 is done through a limited edition CD-R, that features five instrumental tracks. Too little to really appreciate the foggy climates from which a bright melody emerges here and there ('In the Name of the Lord') or an evanescent melody ('Redemption'). A sticky Swans texture vanishes under the shouts of a preacher ('Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God'). Muffled rhythms manage to slam in the distance, producing a backdrop of fireworks for lonely nights ('Obey God'). If we don't manage to get eternal life, it won't be John 3:16's fault; a French artist based in Switzerland who strives hard to offer us the soundtrack of an evaporating world full of reverberations and dissonances"

"A compilation prepared by PAS and the label Alrealon for the third Experi-MENTAL Festival (2011). The range of styles represented is VERY wide: from pop song to post-rock, from experimental hip-hop to more textural/noise-based music. My ears were particularly drawn to the beat-driven assemblages of the Jazzfakers, The Expanding Man’s post-rock stylings, and the saturated avant-rock of John 3:16..."

"...The collective PAS that I mentioned above plays a central role in the New York experimental music scene. They also organize an annual festival called Experi-MENTAL Fest. During the weekend of August 5th - 7th of this year the third edition was held, with 28 artists present; Experi-MENTAL Compilation CD 2 contains a number of those bands. The album opens with Fester, an electro-acoustic group, followed by the industrial noise project Blue Sausage Infant. Then suddenly singer-songwriter music with indie-rap (Carey Burtt), which again is interspersed with ambient (Richard Lainhart); this is only to show how diverse it all is. Also represented on this versatile compilation are Invisible Hand, Violet, The Expanding Man, Black Saturn, FluiD, Use Other Door, John 3:16, The Jazz Fakers and PAS. Besides the aforementioned genres, they also deliver electronic and tribal music(s), doom-jazz, post rock, dark hip-hop, techno and noise. It offers a beautiful view of contemporary experimental music in New York's kitchen. A great overview document!"

thriller / suspense / horror films that were never made.

Classwar Karaoke - 0014 Survey

2011-06-06T11:26:00.000-07:00

The John 3:16 track 'The Dead Sea Scrolls' has been included in the latest survey of Classwar Karaoke

http://freemusicarchive.org/music/John_316_1366/Classwar_Karaoke_-_0014_Survey/16_The_Dead_Sea_Scrolls

Classwar Karaoke is a collective and netlabel operated by Adrian Beetjes, Anthony Donovan and Jaan Patterson. Founded in 2008, Classwar Karaoke is a label dedicated to the release of experimental music and short-films; principally, by means of a series of ongoing quarterly surveys, made available via sites such as internet archive, myspace, disclogs, youtube, lastfm, facebook, sonic squirrel, reverbnation, soundcloud etc., under Creative Commons license 3.0. All material remains the property of the respective artists and is offered for free download in line with this license. The nine surveys published so far feature almost one-hundred artists, from all over the world; and the material in total represents significant documentation of the experimental scene itself. Involvement in the project has helped spawn many fruitful collaborations, live-shows and a vibrant exchange of ideas; so much so that, for several repeat-participants, Classwar Karaoke is as much a collective as it is a mechanism for the release of new material.

The latest survey from Classwar Karaoke, '0013' has been released and features new tracks from Alrealon Musique artists PAS, Zilmrah and FluiD.

John 3:16 reviewed @ Doom-metal.com

2011-03-07T00:18:00.000-08:00

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (Wikipedia, 2010.).

This sentence is the 16th verse in Chapter 3 of the Book of John, and thus the biblical quote that the project name refers to. The album is purely instrumental and there doesn't seem to be any biographies on the Internet that give any clues as to why Angie, the person behind the one-man project, chose this theme. However, the title of the final track somehow seems like an ironic comment to me. It lasts a mere 38 seconds, as if to say "yeah, right!" On the other hand there is seven tracks and that's a holy number according to Judea-Christian beliefs. No matter how you view it, the only conclusion I feel comfortable in drawing is that everything is much too vague to be certain.

The music contains both calm drones and floating dark ambient. It is in many cases very similar to the style of Fall of the Grey-Winged One, though John 3:16 have a sound that's a bit more distinct. There are some parts, in particular on 'The Price of Redemption', that can almost be claimed to be drone/doom in the Sunn O)))-vein. The general sound is ethereal and with a feeling of being overwhelmed, but other than that I can't find anything that connects it to the verse above. The composers intentions and motives remain in quite dense mist.

The marked for this release within the doom community is probably limited to those who like Fall of the Grey-Winged One and some similar stuff. This is a release for those who prefer music with a void-like feeling of astral waves.
