Today, Ukrainian blackened death/doom metal visionaries 1914 announced the re-release of their highly acclaimed debut album, Eschatology Of War, and their sophomore album, The Blind Leading The Blind. Both releases will be available from 29 July on cassette tape, limited to 200 copies per title, and exclusively via Napalm Records mailorder. Profits from these limited edition cassette tapes will be donated directly to the band to support their country in the ongoing war.
1914 states: "Just like a hundred years ago, Ukraine is at war again. As a hundred years ago - the enemy is the same. Then, during the Great War, we were part of the Great European Family - the Habsburg Empire. Now we are fighting for our right to return to the great family of European nations. We are fighting for the right to exist, to live, to joy, to raise children and dream about the future. We sang about the Great War until this war came to our home and became a part of our everyday life. But we do not give up and the whole world is on our side, your help is incredibly important to us. All funds raised from the sales of these albums will go to support Ukraine in its fight against the invaders. Make your contribution to the fight against imperialism and tyranny! Remember - One day the empire will fall! A tyrant's overthrow is the only acceptable way!"
Since its formation in 2014, 1914 has told gruesome tales of World War I, charting this inexorable path through history with its debut album, Eschatology Of War (2015). Followed by The Blind Leading The Blind (2018), the band unveiled its sinister third epos, Where Fear And Weapons Meet, last autumn.
1914's uncompromising achievement of combining old-school death and black metal, spiced with the approach of sludge and doom, can't be pigeonholed and stands up with fans and critics alike. The five-piece has created its remarkable world of sound, delivered most authentically. Along with intense lyrics and a unique visual experience, 1914 transports its listeners back to one of the cruellest times of mankind, compelling them to face their horrible past, never to be forgotten.
