Probably the worst idiot we've ever taken a look at. From Chandler, Quebec. Claims to be "Micmac" or Metis. Likely mostly or entirely French and Irish.

Black metal "musician" in following bands or projects:
Aufnorden
Damghar
Gulguhk
Ifernach- The only one where he claims to be Metis/Micmac instead of white supremacist.
Maeströ Cröque Mört
Moosegut
Nox Morbum
Oldfir
Sverdsveit

Could someone take a look at his genealogy? See if he actually is, or the claim is just done to spread confusion.

Ifernach- The only one where he claims to be Metis/Micmac instead of white supremacist.

E.g. in this long interview: https://www.bardomethodology.com/articles/2020/09/02/ifernach-interview/

An illuminating and interesting, although also disturbing (indigenous/far right connections) here:

In that interview he's pretty uncertain about his claims to have just discovered he's Metis and imagines being NDN is like being a Viking. What he knows or claims he knows is twisted to agree with white supremacy. "See, we are just like Natives" is an old idea among Nazis, including Hitler through his kidding himself that Karl May novels were truthful.

-----------
Ifernach is a black metal solo project from north-eastern Canada, dedicated to ancestral revival and spiritual vengeance by reconnecting with heritage and soil.

[This is a common phrase in Nazi belief.]

....The new IFERNACH album is called “The Green Enchanted Forest of the Druid Wizard”. I must say, this sounds to me a bit like some kind of attempted black metal parody.

....IFERNACH is a rather obscure one-man black metal band founded by Finian Patraic in 2014. Finian lives in Chandler, a small town on Québec’s Gaspé Peninsula. The debut album, “Maqtewek Nakuset” was released in 2016 – since then, he’s released one full-length record and at least one EP per year. The project has performed live once: at Messe des Morts VII in 2017, using session musicians.

[Patraic]:"....When I found BATHORY, I felt the Scandinavian landscape screaming through the music. This is what I try to achieve with IFERNACH: allowing my own land to speak through me.

....Métis? I .>>>guess<<< this is the right term. More than half of the people living off-reserve here in Gespegewagi have native ancestry. They ignore it. They despise it....I know people with the native title who don’t even hunt! When the Métis people join the dying reservations, we will crush the barriers, erase territorial boundaries, and redefine it like it was back in the day: the Wabenaki Confederacy. Taking back the land, one step at a time.

....At the end of the day, regardless of what name they’ve been given, it’s pure pagan worshipping and that’s essential to our native lives. Furthermore, I’ve been reading some really interesting comparative religious analyses about Norsemen and Native American spirituality: Ragnarok and the Battle of the Giants, or when Odin meets the Wolf. Kluscap made men by taking up his bow and shooting arrows in the trunk of the ash tree, how can we not think about Yggdrasil?

....It’s been said that Norsemen passed on stories to the Innuits of Greenland and then further to the Indians.

....From what I know, we were very close to nature.

....It’s a sad feeling when you must slay an entire family, but my elders didn’t even think twice about it. I want to be like them – they are my heroes in life."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQDXj01JrVg

I think "Finian Patraic" is just a stage name, not birth. No one by that name in Canadian people search: https://www.canada411.ca/ . No one with that surname even.

No one by that name in familysearch.org records.

The surname "Patraic" does exist but it appears uncommon.

I wonder if his birth first or surname is actually "Patrick".

I've not found a birth date. Or names of parents. He says his mother is a nurse, but I don't know if we can trust that, the claim was in one of his many anti-COVID-precautions screeds.

I skimmed through several interviews with him. He is indeed an idiot and also gross. He spouts eugenics type beliefs.

A comment on this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/blackmetalvinyl/comments/vdcmex/lom_and_ifernach_in_the_mail/
says, "Ain't no Indians named Fitzgerald, that's for sure."

Ridiculous argument aside, perhaps the commenter knows that his surname is Fitzgerald.

Most of that thread has ridicule and contempt for him, for being a hatemonger and a pretendian, and an awful rapper(!?) E.g.:
Quote
He is actually the most normie white guy who grew up in a cozy neighborhood that you'll ever see and all that character gravitating around being ''native'' is total bullshit. It is a total disrespect for native people and what they lived and endured to be such and opportunist and it makes him a charlatan in the black metal community

From another reddit discussion, of October 2023, Why Does Finian Patraic Have a Project About Native American and Irish Heritage (Ifernach) While Simultaneously Having a NSBM Project (Aufnorden)?:

Quote
The sleuths on the RoD forum did a deep dive a year or so ago, uncovering his other “unkvlt” side projects and whatnot.

NSBM is National Socialist (i.e. Nazi) Black Metal. Lovely.

RoD is revelationofdoom.com. You need to register to look in the forum archives.

"The Metal Archives" website has Finian Patraic's birth place as Chandler, Quebec.

The Metal Archives - Finian Patraic
Direct Link: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Finian_Patraic/698774
Archive Link: https://archive.ph/aUx3G

According to Wikipedia, Chandler only has a population of 7,490 which may make it easier to figure out...assuming that information is correct. cellophane and Sandy S have good suggestions about starting with "Patrick" as a potential first name and "Fitzgerald" as a surname.

Now, I refuse to take tests, I don’t give my name to anyone. I go to private events and I do shows in my own house. I am a supply teacher at the school, not wearing the mask and trying to have an open-minded discussion with the kids. I speak my mind clearly and loudly about what I think of this.

Jan. 2022 interview. I wonder if he is still getting work as a teacher's assistant.

Quote
as a middle-class worker, son of a mother and a father who dedicated their lives to work

Quote
My father gave me that resistance, he brought me when I was young to the Paper Mill protest, the day we did a bridge blockade ....Still to this day he says that it wasn’t worth it, nothing changed.

Regarding a local paper mill, the Gaspésia Pulp and Paper Mill was dismantled in 2012. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandler,_Quebec

Hopefully, we can go back to a tribal world with clans and wars to make, like it should be, like it was before. So they will stop glorifying the weak, only the strong survives! And the Kings are Kings for a damn reason.”

All quotes from https://www.swallowedinblack.com/ifernach-interview/

He says his mother works as a nurse.

His rap video as Skullz138, or the name of the project is Skullz138(?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngo9kYAsoSk This is said to be him, if it is we get a good look at him without performance paint. Plus a view of Chandler, Quebec.

Source of tip on this rap video https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackMetal/comments/176ew8b/comment/k4lyecv/

We can keep the names "Patrick" and "Fitzgerald" in mind as we search. So far I've not seen anything promising. Maybe someone reading this can clue us in.

But I no longer like to get too hopeful as I approach 40.
(So birth-date maybe around 1985)

"The concept of this album of course reflects my mixed race side where sometimes I am lost between European heritage and the crying need to revere my indigenous heritage."

Dec 2023 interview, https://amongtheliving.fr/interview/entretien-avec-finian-patraic-de-ifernach/

He mentions in passing that some concert locations do not allow anyone wearing a Burzum patch. Background info on that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes

Looking back, this album is an album of meditation, individual combat and survival. It also includes the heritage of the name Sweeney (Suibhne), a very common name here.

We can add Sweeney to our list of possible surnames. :)

I think we found him. Dawn Fitzpatrick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMXGkrh4ifI He is said to be one of the performers in this Chandler history musical video. Keep watch for the guy with the left inner forearm tat that looks like a moth.

The credits include a guitarist named Dawn Fitzpatrick. Usually I wouldn't have followed up on that name, glad I did.
Dawn Fitzgerald https://ici-radio--canada-ca.translate.goog/nouvelle/686007/gaspesia-chandler-jeunes?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc 2014 Gaspésia: these young people who sing Chandler

Photo matches one of the members in this band Northern.

He talks about the local paper mill factory as he does currently also.

Quote
The Gaspésia, the former pulp and paper mill, left scars still visible to Chandler. At a time when the decontamination of the ground is not yet complete and is stalling, the Chandlers wish to see this page of their history turn. Especially young people between the ages of 20 and 30
.

Quote
Among these young people, sons of former workers from Gaspésia, whose closure in 1999 caused the loss of 500 jobs. They are part of the punk-hardcore group Northern. They chose music to make their voices heard.

Quote
"I think hardcore: that's saying something is that we're not the same as the society we live in. We're on the fringes. If you have negative ideas, come and evacuate it in our show," the musician invites.

Quote
Northern's musicians saw their father or grandfather experience the closure and hope of recovery. "We can say that we were in the middle of that. "My grandfather was working there, and my father too," said Dawn Fitzpatrick. It's been a big shock to everyone. It's important not to forget how it changed our lives and how we're going to get by too.

He used Dawn Fitzpatrick in 2014 with Radio Canada and 2016 as part of a celebration of Chandler, Quebec. Oh! I'm looking at translations into English from French. What would Dawn be?

In the original French it is still Dawn Fitzpatrick.

I'm thinking we keep the Fitzpatrick, not sure on first name yet. Especially since he uses many many names.

2016 https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/788233/rock-hard-core-chandler-show-releve-petite-scene Interview with Dawn Fitzpatrick about hardcore rock in Chandler Quebec.

Any French speakers, might be helpful to watch video and listen to interview with him. I'm curious also about any symbols, tats, etc that are seen.
