Ukrainian blackened death/doom WWI experts 1914 continue to reflect the gruesome tales of World War I, its soldiers' fate, their death, fear and feats to be never forgotten, and will unleash their new opus, Where Fear And Weapons Meet, on the 22nd of October via Napalm Records.
Its eleven tracks of pure historic harshness follow up to the band's sophomore full-length, The Blind Leading The Blind (2018), and debut, Eschatology Of War (2015), both highly acclaimed amongst critics, and create a sophisticated variety of massively brutal blackened death metal accented by dramatic and realistic audio soundscapes and disquieting melodies spiced with the approach of sludge and doom.
Massive first single "...And a Cross Now Marks His Place" already marks an absolute highlight, as this stamping outburst features none other than Paradise Lost icon Nick Holmes, whose pervasive delivery matches with 1914's mastermind Hptm. Ditmar Kumarberg's (9. Westpreußisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 176) vocal harshness.
Hptm. Ditmar Kumarberg on the first song: "The story behind "...And A Cross Now Marks His Place" totally captured me: This is the real letter, handwritten by the British officer to the mother of a soldier who died in action. This was not a standard form sent in thousands, but more like a personal message. He describes the way her son died, tells words of consolation, and emphasizes how the Crown is proud of him, another victim of the massacre between Empires." Link
