For three decades, 1349 have embodied the original spirit of black metal. Since manifesting from Oslo’s underground in the late ‘90s, the cold and hellish Norwegians have appeared at major European festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Hellfest and toured internationally with the likes of Celtic Frost, Cannibal Corpse and Carcass. Now, fresh from the ashes of eighth album ‘The Wolf & The King’, the band are releasing a new live recording entitled ‘Winter Mass’.
Taped shortly after pandemic lockdown was lifted, ‘Winter Mass’ explodes out the gates with 1349’s aural hellfire. During their set at Parkteatret in front of their home crowd, the band summon a career-spanning range of apocalyptic spells from their massive cauldron of chaos. Early classics like “Sculptor of Flesh” thrash with unchained madness and recent favorite "Striding the Chasm" whips by at a blistering pace that could only be captured by cover artist Kim Diaz Holm, who drew the album’s artwork while headbanging in the pit. "I will always be here / In all ways in all times", snarls Ravn on hellacious cut "I Am Abomination". After three decades and counting, what was once a proclamation is now a testament to 1349's enduring firepower.
Experience aural hellfire in the flesh back where it all began with ‘Winter Mass’.

For fans of MARDUK, CELTIC FROST, BEHEMOTH, MAYHEM, IMMORTAL.
