Keskustelua raskaammasta musiikista ›

Uutta albumia siis pukkaa toukokuussa.
 
Norway's 1349 return with their brand new album "Revelations of the Black Flame" a blackened journey that encompasses black metal, dark ambient, noise, industrial and the soundtrack to a twisted David Lynch film.
 
This album sees the band toning back on the balls to the wall blasting speed of previous albums and trying something crawling, darker and altogether more mature. With this album the band have realized that to truly capture the aural essence of evil you need contrast and time for the musical soundscapes to lull you into a false sense of security so when the black metal does kick in you're dragged bodily into what can only be described as a nightmare. The new album was produced by legendary Tom G Warrior of Celtic Frost fame and will be released on three formats - the standard CD, special edition double CD that includes a bonus live disc recorded in Stockholm ("Works Of Fire. Forces of Hell Live Stockholm 2005") and the deluxe 180 gram blood red collector's vinyl.

Onhan tuota kyllä tullut jo odoteltuakin. Vaikuttaa siltä, että on tulossa yllättäen varsin jotain muuta, kuin etukäteen odotin, viitaten määritelmiin "dark ambient" ja "industrial". Mikä toisaalta taas on lupaavaa, 1349 on kuitenkin onnistunut muuttumaan levyltä toiselle kehittämällä musiikkiaan uusiin suuntiin ja korkeaa tasoa ylläpitäen säilyttäen kuitenkin samalla oman ominaissoundinsa.
