Interview
Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your ‘Graves Full EP’ and how it differs from your previous releases?

This is a Horror story I am telling, about an entity that has been following me for years and now finally getting what it wants, now it’s time that I drag others into this nightmare to create an entirely collaborative project instead of majority solo.

What was your creative process like while working on this EP, particularly in terms of sound design?

This EP features an array of Horror scoring tones and fx, I studied many soundtracks and techniques to give this project a real eerie feel.

How did the collaborations with SISTO, Claymore, Sam Lamar, and Nosphere come about, and what unique elements did each artist bring to the tracks?

This will be the first of many collaborative projects, I knew I had to involve artists that have a darkness in them and their music. Each artist also have a unique sound that defines them, which I made sure was introduced to each track.

Do you have a favorite song off the EP in particular?

I wouldn’t say I have a favourite honestly, each track is special to me in its own way.

Could you elaborate on how you came up with the theme of the EP overall?

I knew I wanted to give the feel that I am dragging other artists into the nightmare I have created, the grave is full, no more can enter…for now.
