Can you give a brief history of the band of how it came together and where it is today?
FIN is yet another one-man band project from Monterrey, MX. These types of expressions seem ever more the vogue these days, though in this case not without the odd helping hand along the way.
The name FIN is one of those odd acronyms that immediately wormed its way under my skin: Frequent Intercourse Necrosis. There’s something about that combination of words, something hideously seductive and sinister lurking within. It speaks, I think, to a more profound decay embedded in our culture. The endless pursuit, the fixation on immediacy, on constant stimulation. A society, if you will, that is spiritually—and perhaps physically—wearing itself down to the bone.
Then, there’s the occult side of it. Decay—these aren’t just biological processes. In occult terms, they’re thresholds, gateways to transformation. There’s a kind of power in decay, in disintegration, as much as there is in growth and life. The idea that sometimes you have to let things fall apart before you can distill anything of worth. FIN is, for me, a reckoning with that kind of magic, the destructive creativity that shadows all human endeavour, a way of engaging with that sickness, that self-destruction, and wrestling with it until it reveals something of value.
What can people expect from your music?
Repetitive movements and hypnotic soundscapes, stretching and expanding with something of the brooding energy that Swans has conjured post it’s 2010 reunion or the haunting, untethered spirit of Anna Von Hausswolff. Still, I would like to think that there’s something uniquely mine in the echo of it.
There are also various forms of sound manipulation techniques at play here.
What is the best release that folks should check out from your band?
The first and only release to date is On The Corpses of Giants, a rather serendipitous piece, born from a collision between personal ambition and external circumstances. A little act of sonic vandalism lies at its heart—an appropriation of a well-known pop chorus that I’ve disassembled and worked to invert its essence — The music attempts to be an homage, and something of an alchemical transmutation, a joke even, though not one without a certain biting irony. This is where the title derives its meaning, the idea of mutilating the giant, and raising something altogether stranger and more unpredictable in its place.
