IV Horsemen

IV Horsemen is the industrial body music project from Paris-based
producer and live artist, Timothee Gainet. Originally playing guitar and
drums in bands more punk and shoegaze, Gainet turned to electronic
music whilst studying in art school and later became a founding member
of French EBM and Wave band, Poison Point . Under the IV Horsemen
solo alias, Gainet romanticises the relationship between flesh and
machines, dealing in a montage of synth-heavy, metallic industrial body
music cut with fragmented live vocals steeped in punk fury.
After a self-titled debut EP on Black Verb Records in 2017, the project
emerged fully formed on Berlin’s Aufnahme + Wiedergabe with the
release of IV Horsemen’s second record ‘Dies Irae’ EP in Spring ‘19. The
5-track sophomore release pushes further into the industrial arena,
conceiving cavernous, pitch-black atmospheres, laced with heavy synth
work and propulsive techno lines. Gainet marked his third and arguably
most acclaimed work in 2020, with the 6-track ‘Human Crash’ EP
released on Berlin’s Fleisch - featuring label boss, Zanias, on the opening
title track. The third studio work from IV Horsemen hits with immediate
impact, crushing distortions and body music fury, lashed with escalating
unease as demonic vocals cut through the grinding abyss
