Matt Heafyn projekti Ibaraki julkaisi ”Kagutsuchi”-kappaleesta musiikkivideon

Triviumin laulaja-kitaristi Matthew Kiichi Heafy julkaisi Ibaraki-projektinsa tiimoilta ”Rashomon”-debyyttialbumin Nuclear Blastin kautta. Julkaisun kunniaksi ”Kagutsuchi”-kappaleesta ilmestyi musiikkivideo. Heafy kertoo biisistä seuraavasti:

”’Kagutsuchi’ is the turning point in my relationship to black metal. (–) Before crafting this piece, I believed I needed to stick to all the tropes of tradition — I didn’t believe that I was able to attach my name to keep something legitimately black metal. Befriending Ihsahn and having him as a mentor showed me that being true to oneself is far more important than being true to a genre. Ihsahn freed my mind and encouraged the sharpening of the tools needed to begin Ibaraki properly.”
