IBARAKI – SHARE “JIGOKU DAYŪ” VIDEO

Ibaraki

Trivium singer and guitarist Matthew Kiichi Heafy released RASHŌMON , the long-awaited and much-anticipated album from his IBARAKI project, last year via Nuclear Blast.

Today, Heafy has shared the video for “Jigoku Dayū,” which was directed by Black Card Films.

“When I first witnessed the original classic Japanese painting of Jigoku Dayū, I was mesmerized; then I read the story,” Heafy explains. The story is one that still haunts me to this day: a woman captured, enslaved, and forced into a world of servitude. The kimono she forged for herself depicted all the scenes of hell — a metaphor of the prison she now lived in.”
