As the release of their fourth album, Viribus Unitis (out 14 November on Napalm Records), approaches, the unrelenting 1914 unleash their second single/lyric video. With "1914 (The Siege of Przemyśl)", the Ukrainian blackened death/doom battalion unveils further horrors of war. Thundering doom riffs and ghostly historical recordings relentlessly descend into the longest siege of World War I, where the Austro-Hungarian army experienced a crushing defeat. Once again, history bleeds through every note - grim, grand, and devastating!
Viribus Unitis deepens 1914's commitment to historical authenticity, both lyrically and conceptually. Told through the personal accounts of a Ukrainian soldier in the K.u.K. army, the album follows real events, tracing a timeline from 1914 to 1919, and paints a grim journey through the war's rise, climax, and hollow aftermath.
k.u.k. Galizisches IR Nr.15, Gefreiter, Ditmar Kumarberg, about "1914 (The Siege of Przemyśl)": "Trapped behind fortress walls: In the icy grip of World War I, 130,000 Austro-Hungarian soldiers found themselves surrounded, starving, and desperate inside the mighty fortress of Przemyśl. From September 1914 to March 1915, the Russian army laid siege, pounding the city with artillery and choking off supplies. Months passed. Food ran out. Horses, dogs, even rats, became rations. Disease spread. Morale crumbled. And then... surrender. One of the greatest capitulations of the war. The once-proud fortress fell, handing Russia a symbolic victory on the Eastern Front. But victory was fleeting! A short-term win for Russia, but the tides turned again when the Central Powers retook the city later that year. War shows no mercy".
