The Wolf & The King

fyeahmetal This is the most "solid" sounding 1349 record to date, thanks to some good old-fashioned heavy metal riffing amongst the trademark BM and blackened thrash. So the songs are more memorable, and I find my favorite switching with each listen, a good sign. Add in some legit blazing solos, a few clean tones, and a touch of Celtic Frost-type atmosphere, and you have a well-rounded record that rewards repeat listens. Favorite track: Inferior Pathways.

Dan Hébert 1349 are back with what they do best. Ravn is at the top of his vocal game, the guitars are relentless (with wild lead parts-the guitar solo is rare in black metal) and Frost provides the necessary avalanches of percussion. Great album. Favorite track: The Vessel and The Storm.

Music: Archaon, Lyrics: Svartalv Break the circle - Cross that line See through the grand illusion I will walk with the beasts of cosmos Where darkness penetrates all light The old orders of the golden occult age Awake the sleeper - Draw that line Upon true founding principles Gods have seen me walk through fire Striding the stars between the voids Crossing fields of fire Carving path in bone Passing veils of torment Passing reality’s threshold Eternities without time Crossing eternal aeons Revelation in black Beyond the light of Aracoth God Devourer Conjurer of the hidden realms I am the cardinal directions By blood by fire - Invocate Approaching the seven realms God Devourer Tetragram consumed in flesh I am the equinox of Gods By flame by elixir - Of Death Approaching the gates of the seven realms God Devourer Spell-fire consume my soul I am the ancient incantation Oracular abyss unveiled - Behold Breaching the gates of the seven realms Break the circle - Cross that line See through the grand illusion I will walk with the beasts of cosmos Where darkness penetrates all light The old orders of the golden occult age Shrouded in the dark veils of alchemical riddles Symbols of the ancestral saints of the occult I am the immortalized path to equilibrium The names of the arcane Gods, devoured

Ash of Ages 05:27
Music: Archaon, Lyrics: Svartalv Unstoppable momentum Pandemonium supreme Unstoppable destruction Cataclysm supreme Primis Terra anthropocene Enter into obscurity Relentless wave - The instant death Cascading oceans - The instant shift Alhabor rise - Cleaving continents Orion’s dawn - The first extinction The ash of ages - Obscured by dust The ash of ages - Frozen in time The ash of ages - The eternal ones The ash of ages - Erased - All secret wisdom lost The ash of ages - Obscured by dust The ash of ages - Frozen in time The ash of ages - The eternal ones The ash of ages - Immortalized in sacred stone Like skeleton cathedrals under mountains of ash Where arcane empires flourished and ancient realms were crushed Continents dead adrift left in blackened embers As time is slowly turning moons and stones to dust Crushing the foundations of the temple-planet Like necrotic threads of burning rust through time Deep down the spirals of rotting primordial oceans Spectres from the remains of lost realms haunted past Crawling upon the black mat of the younger dryas The rivers of life have dwindled Like the sunset of a dying God World of lost horizons Crushed by wheels of time Under the star of stars Withered by the passing of time Like the last fading rays of the sun Ancestral blood - Forever underfoot Antediluvian death knell Storms of Ouroboros Kings of Algolian bloodline Your ghosts in all traces lost The ash of ages - Obscured by dust The ash of ages - Frozen in time The ash of ages - The eternal ones The ash of ages - In hidden recesses of the mind

Shadow Point 03:39
Music: Archaon, Lyrics: Svartalv Colossus - The first beast Where demons harness the suns Heartless star piercing through the black Beyond, the forbidden planets In shadowed synchronicity Vortex of godless existence Burning like infernos from afar Shadow Point Rōsh ha Sāṭān Star demonoir Ghoul perihelion Algol - Shadow Point Quintessence - The old ones Surrounded by darkness absolute Entangled twins - The first star of the gorgon Beyond, the malignant voids In blinding inferiority Orbit of deathless persistence Striding the diabolic, vast galaxies Algol Massive and ageless Where the towers of the Gods cannot see Majestic and infinite Where the shadows of the Gods cannot reach Shadow Point Rōsh ha Sāṭān Star demonoir Ghoul perihelion Dark nebula - Ancient sun Dark diamond - Demon sun Algol - Shadow Point

Music: Archaon, Lyrics: Svartalv Down the myriad timelines of the hidden cabals Through secret corridors awaken from astral sleep The dark emptiness of the obsidian-black plateaus Night-cloaking the occult ageless presence Carrying the archaic sanguineous secrets Through clandestine nether-realm labyrinths Beyond grim morbid marbled palaces Stalking dark recesses of the visionary mind On inferior pathways Necro-weavers - Apostles of dark Gods Silent harbingers of old On inferior pathways Earth-holders - Born of the underworld Shielding heretical codes It will remain forever in their perpetual shadow Icy threads of distant reflection Hidden spells drawn from books of the dead On pathways of elders obsessed Cursed to wander For eons in the dark Under the aural lights Guided by the Hellfire Under the icy moons In quicksilver movements Tracing blood-meridians The black-star in your palm

Inner Portal 05:08
Music: Archaon, Lyrics: Svartalv Inner Portal Temple of flesh Brought to the threshold of mortals Enter… Inner Portal Altar of death Carving the cryptic horizon Inner Portal Cathedral of bone Exhale to hold the sun and night Enter… Inner Portal Through hexagrammic gate Absorbed by the shadows of the void Watchers of the abyss This black fire burns so deep Fusing bones to darkness Move through stone, move through flesh Inner Portal Into the deep hidden valleys of the soul Enter… Inner Portal Beyond all secrets of promethean visions Towards the constant summit Departing - Soul from skin In prolonged moments, stretching into eternities Onto the abyssal planes Infernal firmament breached Merging quicksilver-soul Side by side, with mind and beast ‘Moving through the elements Spectral shadows in unbreakable cycles Codes within codes Portals to inner dark dimensions’ Beyond the vail, of wisdom enshrined Into the firestorm, I walk the burning waters

Music: Archaon, Lyrics: Svartalv Death chimes It is the twilight of the victors In moments of perfect putrefaction Upon the altars of the insane You rise To chisel realms to ruin Reaching for the soul you never had Crawling in the path of triumphators Towards the gallows of the mad I am the vessel I am the storm I am the eye of defiance Materialization of hellfire I am the vessel I am the storm An unkindness of ravens A murder of crows Flamed by hatred I am the dark divide I am the dark frontier, I am the fire sermon Cold shadows scraping deep in soul Stretched beyond human limitation In total contempt of life Driven into nonexistence Pilgrim of hatred I am all shadow-life I am the tide of torment - I am the Infernal Wrath of the raven I am the nest of glass I am the touch of death - I am the claw of fire Nigredo is building As paradise is lost The head of the raven Decapitation of crow Palasius is burning As equilibrium rot Flood of torment Standing in parallel to your unborn oaths Born from hatred Devoid of all empathy Calcination of Blackness Profound catharsis of the unbound mind I am the vessel I am the storm I am Reborn

Obscura 03:44
Music: Archaon / Seidemann, Lyrics: Svartalv When the world was flesh and teeth When the days where none and the light shone Not In a timeless fleeting ever instant Forever thorned in eternities grip The hidden ever lasting Obscura The pandemics of chaos Obscura Revelation-maelstroms As spirit-eclipse into vortex-voids Like a ghost in the Godless spheres Through the multitude, pale dimensions Into obscurity - Inside this chamber of skin Into obscurity - The ever unchanging Upon the tide of slow eternities Summoning the primordial nexus Eyes burning black like distant stars Deep into myriad reflections In that moment of eclipsis' Foreshadowed, through the arcane dark Into obscurity of the shadow of Hell Infinity without depth or dimension Hell-tongue speak the hidden words Breathing vacuum, Spitting fire
8.
Fatalist 05:51
Music: Archaon / Ravn / Ronni Le Tekrø, Lyrics: Svartalv Theorem, of the entangled threads of chaos Drink deep, of the mercurial depths Walk the salt of ancient ocean-deserts Reaching, for the knowledge of the Gods Under the vitriolic, blue gleam of Saturn Blackest planet - Rise through this flesh The lesser, the major, the majestic and the horned Requiem of soul, ordained by death Subject of Mars, take form from embers Flesh for knowledge - Crown for flesh Upon the founding, three elemental pillars Death of self, through alchemical rebirth Wolf for king - Flesh from wolf Transcending stratum infernali’ On Spagyric paths be driven To metamorphosis absolute Fatalist Rebirth - Through womb of ash Return - Of flesh-triumphant Rise - Paragon of pure perfection Resurrection - Crown of liberation The infinity of dying, of a timeless heart From destruction comes new creation Epignosis, obtained through fire from beyond Resurrected through wolf and ash Purification - Through the high art of death Resurrection - Through sacrifice of death Transition - Dark-origo exceeds Meliora - Passing inner shields Wrath of the Grey - Come into self Advancing the vortex by fire Antimony Eclipse regal flesh Beyond this point there is only fire Antimony Devour king and gold Timeless self Wolf on pyre Fatalist Return - Of king-triumphant Rise - Through formative death Rebirth - From baptism of fire Resurrected - The ash-birth of flesh Lupus metallorum Transition Sulphur king Reborn, from ash of sin

about

Carved from the frozen landscapes of Norway, 1349 have etched their mark upon the black metal pantheon, wielding their instruments like war-axes in the vanguard of the genre's relentless assault. With a legacy drenched in the blood of aural extremities, they have become the standard-bearers of unyielding sonic warfare, relentless in their pursuit of the darker arts.
Behold The Wolf and The King, the latest cataclysm to be unleashed by 1349. A tempestuous odyssey through eight tracks of pure, unadulterated black metal, flawlessly showcasing the band's mastery over chaos and carnage. From the voracious onslaught of The God Devourer to the sinister depths of Fatalist, each track is a portal into a realm where shadows reign supreme, and the air is thick with the stench of decay. Ash of Ages blends thrash influences with extreme black metal flourishes, crafting a journey through the heart of darkness, while Shadow Point and Inferior Pathways conjoin to forge an iron spine of classic headbanging riffs and inexorable groove. With The Wolf and The King, 1349 continues to stretch the boundaries of the genre, infusing their relentless blast beats and searing guitars with an atmosphere of apocalyptic elegance.
