Terrorizer is proud to present an exclusive premiere of ‘Slaves’, the brand new lyric video from Norwegian black metallers 1349, and the first song to be heard from their eagerly awaited new album…

It’s been unnervingly quiet on the 1349 front since 2010’s ‘Demonoir’, but now it appears the grim quartet are firmly back in action. The harsh, icy strains of ‘Slaves’ is rich with that classic Norwegian black metal vibe, and bodes very well indeed for the new record.

The band have given the following statement about the upcoming album:

“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.”

And regarding the new track ‘Slaves’, vocalist Ravn commented:

“We chose ‘Slaves’ because it showcases very well the spirit of the coming album. ‘Slaves’ has already become a fan favorite live on the Metal Alliance tour and the tour-exclusive 7″ stock is depleting fast. It is with great pride we see it unleashed upon the world!”

The ‘Slaves’ single is available now from Indie Recordings.
