1349 return to UK

1349 will return to the UK in November at the end of a European tour, they’ve confirmed.

The four shows follow the launch of Massive Cauldron Of Chaos on September 29 via Indie Recordings. Metal Hammer last week revealed Mengele’s, the first track from their sixth record.

The Norwegian outfit are delighted to be crossing the continent for the first time in seven years. They say: “We haven’t done a proper tour of Europe since 2005, so it’s about time we got back in the saddle and offered our fans some unholy black metal.

“The tour will feature several cuts from the album, blended with some good ol’ classics from the rest of our catalogue. Prepare for the Aural Hallfire Legion to strike!”

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
