True Norwegian black metal belongs in the underground, and who better than the movement’s current standard bearers - and this month's Subterranea cover stars – 1349 to take that quite literally?
With the release of their sixth full-length, Massive Cauldron Of Chaos, looming on the horizon – September 29 via Indie Recordings for seekers of specific information – and threatening to do away with our current Indian summer for good, the Oslo four-piece have braved the possibility of getting buried beneath tons of ancient rubble by descending into the grimmest mines of Kongsberg in the South-Eastern lands of Norway to record a video for the track Slaves.
Looking part Myst-gone-necro, part The Hills Have Eyes-style horror movie, this beautifully shot promo shows the band in imperious form, full of clinical, scything guitars, vocals like a fist clenched around your soul and a massive sermon-like chorus that will have you raising clenched fists to the quivering skies in seconds flat.
Gaze ye into the world of Slaves below and may darkness be your guide!
