1. For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the solo project?
There isn't much to tell about this solo project. At its core, it's simply about creating provocation through noise and spreading intimidation and chaos through music.
2. So far you have released an EP. Can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?
Black Invocation Conquest was created as a first step to establish my presence in underground music. The EP was recorded gradually over the course of two months after the material had been prepared. The recording process was far from grand or luxurious. It relied on old amplifiers, basic effects, some software editing, and a bit of assistance from a friend. Because the recording was done in different stages and without a strict structure, the final result ended up sounding unstable at times, with fluctuating drum and guitar tones. But honestly, to hell with that. The original goal was always to create music that sounds chaotic, aggressive, and intimidating. Throughout the EP, that chaos can be heard clearly from the inconsistent sound levels to the mistakes in the drum tracks. This release was never meant for people looking for a polished and carefully crafted production. It's all about relentless blows, chaotic riffs, and overwhelming noise.
3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects you have explored so far with the music?
The lyrical themes revolve around misanthropy, occultism, death, and resistance. Most of the inspiration comes from what I see, experience, and feel in my own life.
4. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name "Incinitor"?
The project was originally called Inicied Noise Executor. Personally, I wasn't a fan of such a long name, so I shortened it and eventually it became Incinitor.
5. Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the EP cover?
The cover artwork was taken from the painting Purgatory by Cristóbal Rojas. Its meaning is quite profound because it doesn't only depict the concept of purgatory in Catholic teachings, but also serves as a reflection on human suffering and death. The painting was the last work he completed before dying of tuberculosis in 1890. We chose this artwork because it felt very relevant and accurately reflects the atmosphere and spirit of this EP.
6. With this project you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with other musicians or do you prefer to work solo? Yes, there will definitely be collaborations with other musicians in the future because I plan to bring this project to the live stage, hopefully by the end of this year. I just hope I find enough motivation within myself to finally perform these songs live.
7. Currently you are unsigned. Are you looking for a label or have you received any interest?
I believe physical releases are still very important, so I am completely open to working with any label that is interested in releasing this material in a physical format.
8. On a worldwide level, how has the reaction been to your music by fans of war and bestial black/death metal?
The response has been quite positive so far. Before the digital release, I created an Instagram account and started posting updates about the EP. I also connected with friends and people I knew within the underground scene, and from there the project slowly started gaining attention.
9. When can we expect a full-length, and where do you see yourself heading as a musician in the future?
The full-length album is already scheduled for release at the end of next year. Like the EP, it will be recorded gradually, but this time there will be some changes in the recording approach to achieve a more professional result. That being said, I have no intention of abandoning the raw identity and chaotic riffing that define this project.
10. What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music, and what are you listening to nowadays?
It almost feels illegal to play bestial black/death metal without mentioning Blasphemy as an influence. Personally, though, I draw inspiration from both black metal and death metal in general. Some of the albums that heavily influenced this project include War.Cult.Supremacy by Conqueror, Upheaval of Satanic Might by Black Witchery, Seven Chalices by Teitanblood, Vengeance War 'Till Death by Bestial Warlust, Angelcunt (Tales of Desecration) by Archgoat, Messiah of Darkness and Impurity by Proclamation and Drawing Down the Moon by Beherit.
11. Does Occultism play any role in your music?
Absolutely. I see occultism as a path toward spiritual enlightenment and a way of exploring the hidden knowledge of the universe. It serves as an important foundation for many of the lyrics I write. It is also a subject that remains mysterious and highly debated, which makes it even more fascinating to explore through music.
12. Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
First of all, thank you for taking the time to interview me, for listening to Black Invocation Conquest, and for giving your honest thoughts on the release. Recently, I came across a webzine that reviewed the EP, and do you know what they concluded? They claimed that this project was AI-generated. I found that both ridiculous and amusing at the same time. I don't really know how to explain every detail of the process or convince people that this chaos was created by dirty human hands rather than a machine. Then again, I don't think it's important to explain every aspect of how this EP was made. Still, since that damned webzine questioned the authenticity of the release, it actually delayed my response to this interview because I couldn't stop thinking about it. That's why I felt the need to mention it here. That's all from me. Thanks again for the support, and hail chaos!
