Back in 2012 Trivium frontman and guitarist Matt Heafy revealed to us that he has a side project called Myritu that involves Emperor frontman and guitarist Ihsahn. The project has remained relatively quiet since, though Heafy revealed in a recent interview that the project is slowly moving along in an interview with Blabbermouth.
"Myritu was initially intended to be a black metal band that I was never going to tell anybody I was in. I was going to make the music, and it was going to be pretty true to the '90s second wave-style-black metal — sort of like Darkthrone, early Dimmu Borgir, early Emperor. But while Myritu has its roots in black metal, it's become something so much more. It's not just black metal — it's anything I've ever wanted to try. Ihsahn from Emperor will be producing it, and he's co-written several songs with me. We'll also be recording it in Notodden, Norway, where all the Emperor records were done. It's just a matter of when. Ihsahn is incredibly busy and so is Trivium. But he and I stay in contact and we pass things back and forth. And we have quite a few songs written and quite a few demos. It's going to be a dream come true when it happens."
It sounds like this is pretty much the equivalent of that project featuring members of Cannibal Corpse and Killswitch Engage– we'll be waiting for a little while to hear any music, but there's an extremely good chance it'll totally be worth the wait.
