Black metal has always thrived on atmosphere, conviction, and individuality, and Iceland’s Forsmán is carrying that tradition forward in its own distinctive way. In this conversation bassist/vocalist Victor discusses everything from wearing band shirts every day to composing music inspired by Nosferatu, the influence of jazz education, AI-generated art, and why the band’s debut album begins with what he calls “a big fuck you.”
Victor’s perspective reflects a generation of extreme metal musicians who are as comfortable discussing jazz harmony and film cinematography as they are blast beats and distortion. Whether talking about songwriting, AI art, or simply choosing a band shirt each morning, one theme runs throughout the conversation: authenticity matters more than image. Ben Forceman isn’t trying to fit into a scene—they’re focused on creating music that feels honest, challenging, and entirely their own.
