Today we're revealing a new Trve Interview with Matt Eliott, a musician who is part of the line-up for the E.P. that will accompany the Core Book.
Like many people, I discovered Matt Eliott with the album Drinking Song while wandering on Youtube. Since then, his music has haunted me and accompanied my writing. It plays over and over again, forming a loop, drawing out the emotion I've been hiding deep down so that I can put it down on paper.
I've often been asked why MIR's characters are so damaged and neurotic. I don't have an answer: to me, they're honest, desperately honest.
A bit like the guy who's been crying listening to the same album for five hours.
Asking Matt to be part of the E.P. was an obvious choice for me, because even if he doesn't do Black Metal, or even Metal at all, Matt is at the heart of MIR's genesis.
He may not have written it, but he gave birth to it.
This video reflects our feelings. Simple, sensitive and unvarnished.
We hope this piece of intimacy will explain better than clumsy words the essence of MIR and what this project means to us.
