Artist: 1349

Metal Injection is worldwide, and it's never more evident than with our new photo gallery from 1349's recent Countdown To Apocalypse show, which also featured Aeon Throne, Monolithic and Nidigr. Check out the epic photo gallery from Aline Miladinovich for more killer pictures! The post Stunning 1349 Photo Gallery from the "Countdown To Apocalypse" appeared first on Metal Injection .

I got really excited when I saw that the new Cradle of Filth video is for a song called "Frost On Her Pillow," because I assumed the band had written a song about a woman on vacation or perhaps a business trip who, after returning to her hotel room one evening, finds not a mint, [...]

Click here for our massive photo gallery from this tour It’s been a hell of a rewarding Spring/Summer for me as far as kick-ass shows and festivals, and it seems as though the moment I recover from one grand metal adventure, I’m busy preparing for another one. (Hence my delay in getting these tour reports ...

See the full photo gallery from this show. Last April presented an extraordinary opportunity to cover two 1349/Gate to Khaos shows in Western Norway in two cites I’d never before visited - Bergen, and Stavanger. Never one to turn down an opportunity to go wherever the music wishes to take me, (especially if it’s a ...

Our intrepid photographer Aline Cote-Miladinovich attended Inferno Festival in Oslo, Norway in April and filed this report, along with a massive photo gallery of her experiences. Something strange and magical happens in the town of Oslo, Norway over Easter week. Most of polite society flees to the mountains while a scourge of metal heads pour ...

There's this awesome novel The Kindly Ones told from the viewpoint of a holocaust bureaucrat in the Nazi regime. Taking in its measured, unshrill account of total horror is a workout for the concentration and emotions, so I had to crank tons of brain-searing metal to stay sharp - y'know, just like during actual workouts [...]

Marduk are always a really fun band to see live. I love their incorporation of groove with classic black metal tendencies. Looks like I can get to see it live an in person very soon, as they have announced a pretty stellar tour with fellow satanists 1349, Withered and Weapon. All the raping and pillaging ...

Am I allowed to use the word "sweet" as a modifier for describing anything related to black metal? Fuck it, I don't care. This tour is going to be sweet: Marduk, 1349 and Withered would make a great lineup as their own triumvirate, and although I don't know much about Weapon if they're palling around with [...]

All this week, Tom Dare has been guiding you through how Black Metal has evolved over the course of the last two decades (check out parts one , two , three and four if you haven't already). Now, as the week draws to a close, we've asked Tom to put together the songs that have made it happen into a Spotify Slaylist , and in doing to to lovingly cobble them together in an order that somehow tries to make sense of the wildly differing styles that constitute the genre these [...]

Yep, you read that right. We all know the meanest and nastiest black metal bands come from Norway, but did you ever think that this evil would spread into the world of fashion? 1349 have teamed up with Anti designer , Karoline Bakken Lund, to create an exclusive line of jeans, made to suit all your church-burning needs. The promo pictures show the band distressing the jeans in a dark smoky room and (wait for it!) even holding a lighter next to some buttons! Holy shit, that’s "scary". According to [...]

We asked Metal Injection Photographer Aline Miladinovich to reflect on her Top 5 Shows in 2011. You can check out some of her favorites, as well as all her other photos in our gallery section. Whittling all the epic shows I was fortunate enough to see in 2011 into only five choices, then prioritizing them ...

It’s always been my motto that “I’ll go wherever the music takes me,” and since no place on earth is any further than a plane ride away, my last global metal adventure took me and my trusty camera to Wrexham, Leeds, and Manchester, UK for three EAR-gasmic nights with Norway’s own 1349. Having last seen ...

Our man, Amit Sharma, was all over Bloodstock Open Air 2011 - when he wasn't pouring booze down his neck and checking out bands destroying the stages at Catton Hall, he was backstage putting bands through the various kinds of nonsense you've come to expect from a Thrash Hits interview. Just before his slot with [...]

The bad news is that drummer Derrick Nau has left the band, although apparently under amicable circumstances - in a statement, the group says that Nau "is returning to art school and does not wish to be a musician anymore." C'est la vie. The great news is that the band has already named a replacement for [...]

There's nothing I shouldn't like about 13492s latest album, Demonoir: it's the band at blazing black-metal-at-grindcore-speed again, and its experimental parts feel appropriate, even necessary. But something feels about it hollow: the flesh, bones, and organs are all there, but is there any soul (even a black one) beneath them? How could an album with [...]

Rejoice, wackos of the wax!Chicago jazz metallers Yakuza's latest record, Of Seismic Consequence, is now available on vinyl. While they've been selling them on their tour with Triptykon and 1349, Profound Lore has a limited amount for sale here. It was only released in 250 blue copies and 250 clear, so get steppin! Yakuza's Sonny Rollins-meets-Slayer style of brutality was meant to be heard this

by Andrew Wilhelm (TX)One good thing about Austin is that most of the major music venues are located in one part of town. One of the only time this backfires, though, is Halloween. Downtown turns into a giant clusterfuck of bad costumes, even worse face paint, drag rats, corner evangelicals, and drunken maniacs. Do not even think about driving down unless you are a taxi driver, or you are getting

BADABOOM! We promised you more awesomeness from Triptykon today, and here it is: an exclusive stream of Shatter: Eparistera Daimones Accompanied, the new EP from the legendary Tom G. Warrior's incredible new band, a full week before its October 26 release via Century Media. Featuring three previously-unreleased songs from the Eparistera Daimones studio sessions, plus [...]

Above is the video for Triptykon's "Shatter," from the EP of the same name set to be released Oct. 25. If you liked the songs from Eparistera Daimones, the Tom G. Warrior-led group's amazing debut, you will dig this song just as much. This video shares a lot of the qualities of Celtic Frost's "A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh" video, but is no mere retread. Giant stone rooms make for a much
