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."
