Amsterdam, Aug 16th, 2023 – Trivium vocalist and guitarist Matthew Kiichi Heafy has written and recorded a brand-new song, Wielder of the Plague, in support of Gunfire Games' #remnantii, which has passed the 1 MIO sales just four days after its release on July 25th. The #trailer features a special bespoke edit of the song, with a full version of the song set to be released on #gearbox Publishing's YouTube channel at a later point this year. Watch the #trailer featuring the bespoke edit of the song here: https://youtu.be/LpNdu5Bw62E In support of the new track, Heafy, an avid streamer in his own right, will be joining a series of #remnantii live streams after his current tour through Europe with his band Trivium. Heafy on the collaboration: "Video games and video game music has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. At 5, I beat my first video game (Super Mario Bros.) and my journey went to RPGs like Final Fantasy, and then FPSs like Doom. The first time I heard the music in Doom (I was 11) - I knew someday I wanted to make music like this in video games. I didn't even know about metal or that the music in that game was metal. Fast forward to 2023. I am so excited - honoured - privileged - and thankful to say I've been asked to compose some music inspired by #remnantii for the promotion of the game. I can't wait for you to hear this." Wielder of the Plague arrives as the acclaimed band are mid-way through their EU tour. To celebrate the partnership with #remnantii, Heafy and the band will be giving away an amazing #remnantii package (including a #remnantii backpack and shirt featuring Matt's logo as well as art and logo inspired by #remnantii created specifically for this collaboration – picture below) later this month.
