With Infinity
Fall III, WATCH ME DIE INSIDE delivers a thought-provoking exploration of
doubt, clarity, and self-examination. We spoke with the artist about the EP’s
themes, creative philosophy, and uncompromising artistic vision.
1.
Congratulations on the upcoming release of Infinity Fall III. What was the initial
concept or emotion that sparked the creation of this EP?
Infinity
Fall III didn’t begin with music. It began with a question.
Why do we
spend so much of our lives protecting ideas that no longer serve us?
The EP
became an examination of certainty; of the stories we tell ourselves to feel safe.
I called it An Autopsy because I wanted to dissect those stories without judgment.
Not to destroy them, but to understand what remains after every comforting
illusion has been taken apart.
2. The
press release suggests that the EP challenges the idea that music should
provide comfort. What inspired you to take such a confrontational artistic
approach?
I don’t
think art has an obligation to comfort people.
Sometimes
its purpose is the opposite.
Growth
rarely begins with reassurance. It begins with discomfort. If music only confirms
what you already believe, it becomes background noise. I’d rather create something
that quietly follows you home and refuses to leave your thoughts.
3. Each
track seems to explore a different aspect of personal struggle. Could you tell
us more about the themes behind “Uneasy,” “Boring,” and “Infinity Fall III”?
The three
tracks aren’t chapters of a story.
They’re
three fractures in the same mirror.
Each
reflects something different depending on who’s standing in front of it.
That’s why
we resist explaining them.
An autopsy
isn’t about telling you what to see.
It’s about
looking closely enough that you can’t pretend not to see anymore.
4.
“Uneasy” deals with psychological tension and self-doubt. Was this song influenced
by personal experiences, observations, or a broader commentary on modern life?
I don’t
draw a clear line between personal experience and observation.
Everything
I write begins with a question rather than a conclusion. Sometimes those questions
come from our own lives, sometimes from watching the world around us.
What’s
important isn’t whether a Fragment is autobiographical.
What’s
important is whether it recognizes something the listener has felt but never found
the language for.
5.
“Boring” critiques routine and comfort. Do you believe that modern society encourages
people to choose security over purpose and growth?
I don’t
think comfort is the problem.
Comfort is
necessary.
The
question is what happens when it quietly becomes the highest value in your
life.
There comes
a point where certainty can become more seductive than curiosity, and
repetition begins to replace intention. I’m less interested in criticizing
society than in asking whether we’re still making conscious choices; or simply
inhabiting familiar patterns.
6. The
title track is described as choosing clarity over illusion. What does that idea
mean to you personally, and how is it reflected in the music?
Clarity
isn’t something you achieve once.
It’s
something you keep choosing.
Most of us
carry beliefs that feel true simply because they’ve never been examined.
Infinity
Fall III is built around the idea that understanding often begins where certainty
ends.
Rather than
offering answers, the music creates space for that examination. The Witness has
to decide what survives it.
7.
Musically, Infinity Fall III combines modern metal with cinematic atmospheres
and intense dynamics. How did you balance heaviness and atmosphere during the
songwriting process?
I never
treated atmosphere as an introduction before the heavy parts.
Atmosphere
is part of the heaviness.
Silence can
create more tension than distortion if it’s used with intention. Every section
exists because it changes the emotional perspective; not because it makes the
song more complex.
8. Were
there any particular bands, artists, films, or other creative influences that
helped shape the sound and mood of this release?
I’m
inspired by artists who build complete worlds rather than collections of songs.
That
includes music, architecture, photography, cinema and contemporary art.
I admire creators who trust restraint; who understand that what remains unsaid is often more powerful than what is explained.
9. The
EP’s visual identity revolves around a mysterious abstract Artifact. What role
does this symbol play within the larger world you’ve created around Infinity
Fall III?
The
Artifact isn’t meant to represent something.
It exists
to resist interpretation.
People
naturally want symbols to provide answers. The Artifact refuses to do that.
It becomes
a mirror. Whatever meaning you find inside it probably says more about you than
it does about the object itself.
10. Your
statement mentions that silence is as important as sound. How do you use space,
restraint, and atmosphere to enhance the emotional impact of your music?
Silence
gives weight to everything that follows.
Modern
music often fills every available space. I’m more interested in absence.
A pause
isn’t empty.
It’s where
the listener begins thinking.
That’s
where the real conversation starts.
11.
WATCH ME DIE INSIDE presents a very honest and uncompromising vision. Has
maintaining that artistic integrity ever conflicted with expectations from
listeners or the music industry?
Probably.
But I never
started this project to meet expectations.
I’d rather
make something that genuinely divides people than something everyone politely
agrees with and immediately forgets.
Art
shouldn’t be optimized. It should be necessary.
12. As
listeners prepare to experience Infinity Fall III, what do you hope they confront,
discover, or take away from the journey after the final note fades?
I don’t
hope they leave with answers.
I hope they
leave with better questions.
If the EP
causes someone to examine a belief they’ve never challenged before; even for a
moment; then it has already done everything we wanted it to do.
Because
Infinity Fall III was never about the Artifact.
It was
never even about the music.
It was always about the observer. Witness!
