Infestus – The Reflecting Void (25.04.14)

As for the concept, he goes on : „The new songs are quite difficult to understand for me. They have some of the classic „“E x | I s t“ elements but also lots of new things that I haven’t done before. All is embedded in a conceptual idea which -concerning my point of view- somehow ties in where „E x | I s t“ ended. I say somehow, because practically there cannot be a follow up to the concept of „E x | I s t“. Since this album was a very important step for me, dealing with my darkest shadows and trying to put them behind me, I find myself now exposed to fragments of this utter darkness which has changed its shape and still lives on in me. „The protagonist“ of „E x | I s t“ may reside as an empty shell, burnt out and fucked up, but my inner strife – constantly flourishing on fertile ashes of the preceding cremations – continues. To distil all this down to its essence: catharsis is an illusion.“
