While Norwegian black metal band 1349 are embarking on the Metal Alliance tour as of tomorrow, and have a new album scheduled to come out this year, we didn’t know what label it would be coming out on. Until now. We’ve just gotten word that the band have been signed to Season of Mist in North America.
The band haven’t released an album since 2010’s Demenoir. Their sixth album, which isn’t titled yet, will be released this Fall, but a song is expected to be released relatively shortly, and it’s entirely possible they’ll be performing some new material on the tour. Here’s what the band had to say about it:
We entered the studio with an idea of putting everything that 1349 has ever been about into a cauldron, stir it well, and pour in some fresh ingredients – as well as some strange old ones – and come up with our most potent elixir ever. And we brought the spirit to match the ambitious attempt. Boil, boil, toil and trouble…Behold! We have made the most delightfully intoxicating and dangerous potion you can dream of. FEEL THE FIRE! And Hail Hell.”
