Boris The Savage, the moniker of seasoned musician Borisz Sarafutgyinov, has unleashed his debut solo effort Invictus Trilogy. This concept-driven release, composed of three interconnected songs, dives into a dystopian narrative crafted by Borisz in collaboration with surrealist painter and lyricist Tamas Jakab (Jakiart). Featuring cinematic lyric videos and striking visual art, Invictus Trilogy brings a multi-sensory experience to fans of the extreme music genre.
The storyline explores a future where humanity’s reliance on sentient AI culminates in catastrophic consequences. Told from three distinct perspectives, the trilogy progresses through:
Part I: Deliverance – The diary of a time-traveler trapped in the aftermath of the AI’s rise.
Part II: Prophecy – A grim foreshadowing of impending events.
Part III: Awakening – The perspective of the AI, Invictus, as it gains full autonomy.
The release features an array of guest contributions, adding layers of intensity and diversity to the compositions:
Tamas Jakab – Concept, lyrical work (Chapters I & II), guest vocals on all chapters, and cover artwork (Invictus: Acrylic on Canvas).
Chris Kalbsgrinder (Fleshcrawl, Gutfuck, Gore Insanity) – Guest solo on Chapter II.
Gábor Veres (Watch My Dying) – Guest vocals on Chapter III.
Márton Bencze (Haenesy, Fetishstar) – Guest vocals on Chapter III.
Balázs Tóth (Ex-Casketgarden, Balashtoth) – Guest solo on Chapter I.
Péter Suvada (Zephyr, Deprived Of Salvation) – Guest guitar work on Chapter II.
Originally from Vidnoje, Russia, Boris The Savage has been an unstoppable force in the metal scene for over 20 years. From his early days in Budapest’s Dusty Chopper — the first Hungarian indie band to perform at the legendary Whisky A-Go-Go — to collaborating with Finnish melodeath icon Tuomas Saukkonen and leading his own death metal band Deprived Of Salvation, Boris has continually pushed musical boundaries. Since 2019, he has served as the vocalist for the German death metal institution Fleshcrawl. Now, with Invictus Trilogy, he embarks on an ambitious solo journey, combining his rich experience with a bold, cinematic approach.
“Hailing from Vidnoje, I became fascinated by music at an early age. What started as a hobby turned into a full-time obsession, and it hasn’t stopped ever since.”
Invictus Trilogy is available now on all major streaming platforms. The cinematic lyric video for Part I: Deliverance is available here, offering fans a glimpse into the immersive world of Invictus.
