The true Norwegian black metal horde 1349 is set to release their newest live album titled 'Winter Mass' on November 28th 2025 through Season of Mist. On November 20th 2021, a concert was held at Parkteatret in Oslo, Norway, where 1349 is from. Along with this announcement, 1349 is releasing live recording of the song “I Am Abomination” which is accompanied by a video.
Raven, the frontman of 1349 mentions, “We show the unadulterated intensity of what we call ‘Aural Hellfire.’ We feel this concert really represents us. We stand on this stage feeling so powerful. Plastic needs to be stopped, especially with Kim Holm doing all of these drawings of us, he is able to get that energy out there through his art. Take this whole package of unfiltered Hellfire, put it in a pot and it becomes the art that Kim Holm made along with the drawings.”
The album is set to be released in a variety of formats including video, vinyl, and cd. Pre orders can now be found HERE.

1349 has also recently announced among the first wave of bands to take the stage at next year’s edition of Beyond the Gates Festival. The epic four-day metal event will take place yet again in the heart of Bergen (NO) on July 29 - August 1, 2026. Tickets are available HERE.
The cover artwork and layouts for 'Winter Mass' were created by Kim Diaz Holm. The Norwegian artist has captured more than 2,000 concerts, often while standing to the side of the stage. Holm has worked with larger-than-life artists like Abbath but developed a special connection with 1349 after drawing them at both Inferno Festival and Hulen in 2012. Over the past 13 years, he has continued to document the band's incendiary live shows and even designed their merch. What he's created for Winter Mass draws fans even closer to fire. Sketched while he was headbanging in the pit, these drawings leap off the page with the same raw, dark spirit as their muse.
