1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the solo project?
1. Viamaer was created without a plan and without the assumption that it would ever become a musical project. It was a record of moments I couldn’t express in any other way than through sound. I wrote these tracks more like a personal journal - a way to organize emotions that were too intense to simply leave behind. Only later came the thought that what I had created might be something more than a private note.
2.You have your first full length coming out early in 2026, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?
2. I didn’t choose a style. I didn’t think about whether it would be blackgaze, post-black metal, or anything else. These labels are useful for cataloguing music, but not for creating it. What mattered most was the atmosphere, the emotion, the message - not the box it would be placed in. The music emerged naturally, without stylistic assumptions.
3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects you have explored so far with the music?
3. The lyrics are a record of moments - awakening, battling the shadow, searching for light, free will, fear, purification. They feature motifs of nature, symbolism, inner conflict, and spiritual light. These aren’t abstract stories - they are states I truly experienced.
4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Viamaer'?
4. When searching for a name, I wanted something non-obvious - something that sounds like an old word but actually isn’t one. Viamaer carries a certain weight. It reflects what the project is.
5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?
5. The cover is built around two symbols. The flower represents rebirth - something fragile that, in the right light, becomes a source of strength. The moon represents hope, the guiding light in the half-darkness.
6.With this project you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with other musicians or do you prefer to work solo?
6. Working alone feels most natural to me. Viamaer was born from a need for intimacy and silence - a space where I can capture emotions without filtering them through anyone’s expectations. That’s why I record everything myself. But I’m not closed to collaboration. If the right people appear one day, I’ll let it happen naturally. Before I entrust anyone with a fragment of this space, I need to be sure it aligns with its character and doesn’t diminish its honesty.
7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
7. At the moment, I’m not focused on looking for a label. The project was created as something very personal. If offers come, I will consider them.
8.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of post black metal and blackgaze?
7. At the moment, I’m not focused on looking for a label. The project was created as something very personal. If offers come, I will consider them.
9.Do you also have any experience playing in other bands or musical projects?
9. Yes, I played in other bands. Those were completely different experiences - more focused on the group, structure, and the stage. Viamaer differs from all of that - it is the most personal project I’ve had.
10.Where do you see yourself heading into as a musician during the future?
10. I don’t think about the future. I create when I feel the need to capture something happening inside me. It’s also worth adding that I have much more music than what I’ve released. In lumine lunae is only a small part of my private record - the rest is still waiting for its time
11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
11. I don’t have a single source of inspiration. I listen to many bands and many genres. More than bands, I’m inspired by reality itself and the emotional states connected with it.
12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
12. If someone finds even a fragment of the emotions that accompanied the creation of this music, then it was worth sharing. I don’t create to meet expectations - I create to be honest with myself. And if someone feels that, that means the most to me.
