Hey everyone! i am planning to create a metal project influenced by Trivium and the vocalists side project which is Ibaraki. I want to incorporate Japanese Imagery (specifically with the album cover) and include Japanese folklore and history in the lyrics. I have a demo thats pretty much ready from a structural standpoint it just doesn’t have a solo yet,i had this idea of putting a shamisen solo after the chorus hits instead of a typical guitar solo. Dm me if you’re interested in participating!
