Ibaraki
TRIVIUM singer and guitarist Matthew Kiichi Heafy reveals the first single "Tamashii No Houkai" from his long-awaited and much-anticipated IBARAKI project. IBARAKI — the name for a terrifying Japanese demon taken from feudal legend — is the end-result of Kiichi's continued journey to find his voice. It's personal, it's deep, and its inspirations include everything from an adoration for the extremes of black metal and beyond. It was Kiichi's exposure to Ihsahn's solo work that would inspire the gradual craftsmanship that would eventually become IBARAKI. It was also the beginning of a friendship and creative collaboration that would eventually compel Ihsahn to take a leap of his own into a newfound role as producer on the project. While much of the material for IBARAKI was assembled over months and years — as much a songwriting process as an exchange of ideas between friends — it wasn't until the pandemic that the space was created and the idea could really flourish. And "Tamashii No Houkai" is just the beginning.
