1349: New Audio Interview With RAVN
June 26, 2012The Age Of Metal conducted an interview with vocalist Ravn of Norwegian black metallers 1349 before the band's June 19 concert at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California with MARDUK. You can now listen to the chat using the Mixcloud player below.
1349 recruited JOB FOR A COWBOY's Jon "The Charn" Rice to sit behind the kit for their North American tour as the support act for MARDUK. The trek, which kicked off June 2 in Baltimore, marks 1349's first activity on this continent since 2010, when they supported CANNIBAL CORPSE and TRIPTYKON on separate treks. That same year saw the release of the critically acclaimed "Demonoir", which Decibel magazine called "a riff-packed, forward-looking blast of rockin'-yet-technical grimness."
1349 released its first-ever live DVD, "Hellvetia Fire - The Official 1349 Bootleg", last October via Candlelight Records. The disc was filmed at Bikini Test La chaux De Fonds in Switzerland in 2005 and features a special guest appearance by Tom G. Warrior (HELLHAMMER, CELTIC FROST, TRYPTIKON).
The critically acclaimed album "Demonoir" by 1349 was reissued as a limited box set as part of the Indie Recordings Norwegian Collector's Edition Series. It contains seven bonus tracks, including an unreleased track that did not appear on the expanded edition or the limited edition, 12-page booklet, poster, guitar pick, a patch and autographed photo card. The box is handnumbered and limited to 1000 copies worldwide.
"Demonoir", the fifth full-length album from 1349, was recorded at Studio Nyhagen, deep in the woods in Norway with Tom G. Warrior (HELLHAMMER, CELTIC FROST),who showed the greatest respect for the task and played a key role as motivator and catalyst. His technical role of the recording was that of a co-producer, but far more important was his presence and understanding of what a challenging project "Demonoir" was.
