Originally recorded and slated for release in 2011–2012, The Muse by Strife Abaddon is a long-awaited Devil Shyt album that nearly vanished into myth. Plagued by constant tracklist restructuring, fallouts with producers, shifting rosters, lost sessions, beat replacements, and stolen songs, the project faced years of setbacks. Strife refused to release it in an incomplete state, battling behind the scenes to preserve the album's original vision. Regarded as his personal favorite, The Muse stands as a haunting, carefully crafted body of work—each track echoing the obsessive care and creative fire that went into finally bringing it to life.
