Swedish doom metallers Memory Garden have revealed a video clip for the title track of their upcoming new album 1349. The band's sixth studio full-length will be released on 17 December via No Remorse Records. It was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö and features guest appearances of artists such as Niklas Stålvind (Wolf), Josefin Bäck (the original voice of "Marion" from the first demo in 1993!) and Göran "Freddy" Fredrikson (medieval instruments). The artwork was created by Hjules Illustration and Design (Destruction, Grave Digger, Annihilator, Stratovarius).
1349 is a conceptual album and the storyline covers both fact and fiction, taking place during the pandemic years of the black plague. "Stefan and I were talking about how the new songs were coming together nicely, and he told me he really wanted the album to carry a concept", states drummer Tom Björn. "We started contemplating different themes that could fit our music, and we both got hooked on the black plague. A very dark and tragic period of history... We drew some guidelines, or a few key words for the concept, and after that I developed the story incorporating a few facts with the fictive elements. It's not a linear timeline throughout the album, but a few songs are connected by the same character and happen in the correct order. Some things have to be read between the lines though." Link
