Matthew Kiichi Heafy’s Ibaraki release new music video for ‘Tamashii No Houkai’

IBARAKI have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Tamashii No Houkai, is the debut single from the TRIVIUM frontman’s eagerly anticipated black metal project and features a guest appearance from EMPEROR‘s Ihsahn.

“Tamashii No Houkai means ‘the breaking of the soul’ or ‘soul collapse’,” explains Kiichi. “It’s a Japanese term that didn’t exist before, but one we forged to reflect the song’s meaning.” Kiichi, who is of Japanese heritage, continues, “Tamashii No Houkai is co-written by Ihsahn – the legend behind EMPEROR and a musician who has been a longtime influence and mentor to so much that I do in music. The writing of this song was the turning point for IBARAKI – it summarised everything from the past, present, and future of what I thought black metal was, is, and could be. Tamashii No Houkai is the perfect summary and representation of everything that IBARAKI is… and will be.”
