Fans of black metal, today is your day! Straight from Norwegian act 1349 and exclusively through Loudwire, we've got the official premiere of 'Slaves,' a brand new song and lyric video from the band!

Named after the year the bubonic plague reached Norway, 1349 is one of modern black metal's most celebrated acts. 'Slaves' is the first new piece of music released by 1349 since the band unveiled 'Demonoir' in 2010.

'Slaves' gives you everything a 1349 would want: dirty tones, screeching vocals, hate-filled lyrics, furious blasts + much more. Enjoy the track to its fullest, because there is almost no information on when 1349 will reveal a new album. We can confirm, however, that the band's newest full-length offering will be released sometime in 2014.

2014 will also be a pinnacle year for 1349 on the road, as the band will join Behemoth, Goatwhore, Inquisition and Black Crown Initiate for this year's Metal Alliance tour. 1349 will also crush fans for a number of side shows with Goatwhore while performing on the Metal Alliance tour. For the full list of upcoming 1349 tour dates, see below.

Enjoy our exclusive premiere of 1349's 'Slaves' lyric video above!
