As far as newer black metal bands are concerned,
1349 was considered one of
Norway's rising stars among this new scene. Notice how I said "was" and not "is", this is because their new album is atrocious, especially when compared to their older works such as
Beyond the Apocalypse,
Liberation, and
Hellfire which were some of the first albums that really got me into Norwegian Black metal.
Revelations of the Black Flame is
1349's version of
Volcano by
Satyricon... remember that horrible attempt at a sell-out? This album has all that and more... incredibly long songs that never really pick up speed, along with vocals that are almost laughable in parts, and a production value that sounds Mainstream-ish.
If you're looking for proof of their change in sound on this new album, you only need to listen to any song from any of their previous albums and compare it to a song off this new release. Tracks like "Maggot Fetus - Teeth Like
Thorns" and "Set The Controls For The
Heart Of The Sun" both make no sense whatsoever, and are just plain boring.
There's no two ways about this album, it's just plain bad.
True Norwegian Black
Metal fans will, without a doubt, be disappointed by
Revelations of the Black Flame.
