Background information about 'The Wolf & The King'

From the frost-bitten wastelands of Norway comes 1349's latest assault on the senses - "The Wolf & The King". This isn't just another black metal album, it's a declaration of war against mediocrity. The band has crafted eight tracks of pure Norwegian black metal fury that feels like being caught in a blizzard of razor-sharp riffs and relentless blast beats. Opening with "The God Devourer", the album immediately establishes its apocalyptic atmosphere, while tracks like "Ash of Ages" showcase the band's ability to weave thrash influences into their extreme metal tapestry without losing an ounce of brutality.

What makes this release particularly compelling is how 1349 manages to balance their trademark ferocity with moments of dark elegance. "Shadow Point" and "Inferior Pathways" deliver classic headbanging moments that'll have you questioning your neck's structural integrity, while the closing track "Fatalist" serves as a haunting finale to this journey through darkness. The production captures every nuance of their sonic warfare, from the thunderous drums to the searing guitar work that cuts through the mix like a blade through flesh. Jordan Barlow's artwork perfectly complements the music's apocalyptic themes.
