True Norwegian black metal horde 1349 will be releasing their eighth full-length, 'The Wolf and the King,' tomorrow, October 4, 2024, via Season of Mist! The band is now streaming the record in its entirety ahead of tomorrow's release! Listen below.

1349 comments, "We have come to our journey’s end. We knew that only our strongest, darkest and most dedicated effort would enable us to reach our destination. Yet here we stand.

"A vast darkness is what lies in front of us. Where our voyage ends, yours begin. We bring no light but Hellfire itself."

The forthcoming offering was mastered by Jarrett Pritchard and produced and mixed by Pritchard & 1349 frontman Ravn at NEW CONSTELLATION R.M.P.

Pre-orders for 'The Wolf and the King' are now live HERE.

In addition, 1349 is now spreading hellfire across Europe with support from Kampfar and Afsky. The full run of shows can be found below while tickets can be found HERE.

Recorded at Amper Tone in Oslo, Norway, and New Constellation R.M.P. in Orlando, Florida, The Wolf and the King was produced and mixed by Ravn and Jarrett Pritchard (Eulogy, Pulchra Morte), the band’s long-standing sonic wizard who also worked on their previous two albums. The lyrics were written by the band’s longtime wordsmith, Svartalv, who has been working with 1349 for twenty years.

Jordan Barlow’s elaborate artwork for The Wolf and the King reflects the album’s chronological position in 1349’s discography. “This is our eighth album, and the artwork and lyrics are filled with references to this number of infinity,” Ravn explains. “You can basically go on a quest finding references to the number in the artwork.”

All told, The Wolf and the King is the exalted output of the joint force that is 1349. “We all work together to make the best black metal possible every time we release an album,” Ravn says. “This is our common goal. We’re a band on a mission.”
