Rashomon: CD

Say TRIVIUM and respect follows. For over 20 years, this young Floridian group has forged a glorious career in modern metal. Their relentless touring and landmark releases have won them fans worldwide. Matt Heafy, the heart of TRIVIUM, has grown into a remarkable artist, songwriter, and frontman. IBARAKI, more than a solo record, is Matt's journey to find his voice. Inspired by black metal, Gerard Way, and Anthony Bourdain, it reflects his multifaceted interests and Japanese - American identity. The project started with a timid email to Ihsahn, leading to a friendship and creative collaboration. The pandemic gave them the time to turn rough demos into a full - fledged album. IBARAKI wasn't just a Matt - Ihsahn endeavor. Friends like TRIVIUM's Alex Bent, Paolo Gregoletto, and Corey Beaulieu contributed. Ihsahn's family, Gerard Way, and Nergal added guest vocals. IBARAKI breaks genre conventions, offering both musical eccentricity and a personal journey. It uses Japanese mythology not just for aesthetics but as a catalyst for Matt to confront identity and social issues in metal.
