1349 rose from the ashes of Alvheim in 1997, with Ravn (vocals &
drums), Tjalve (guitars) & Seidemann (Bass) as well as Balfori (guitars)
They
recorded, but never released a demo in early '98. Balfori quit shortly
after
due to musical differences.
In '99 they recorded the never released
promo
"Chaos Prefferred" 1349 needed another guitarist, and found Archaon
whose
speed and technique took their music to a new level of intensity and
brutality.
Come spring 2000, 1349 wanted to record a new promo
showcasing
their new material, and Ravn asked Frost to do the drums to get the
speed
required. Frost was later so impressed by the material written for the
next
release, that he wanted to become a permanent member of 1349. Holycaust
Records offered them a deal and released the new promo as an eponymous
MiniCD.
Early 2001 they felt they had enough killer songs for a
full-lenght
album: "Liberation". Recorded and Mixed in Gordon Studios, and
Mastered at
Strype Audio, "Liberation" mixed seamlessly Old School with modern
warp-speed hysteria. 1349 has played a few gigs, supporting Gorgoroth
and
later Cadaver Inc., as well as the "Hole in the Sky" festival in
Bergen. 1349
has now parted ways with Holycaust Records and are now signed on
Candlelight
Records.
Liberation will be out the 7th of April 2003. A new album is in the works, and is scheduled to be released next year.
Hell Awaits!
