Norwegian black metal horde 1349 have unveiled a new performance video for the song “Striding the Chasm,” which appears on the band’s upcoming live album, Winter Mass. The clip can be found below.
Winter Mass will be released on November 28 via Season of Mist. The concert was captured on November 20, 2021 in the band’s hometown of Oslo, Norway at the venue Parkteatret.
1349 frontman Ravn comments:
“‘Striding The Chasm’ is an emblematic track. It maintains the 1349 signature ferocity, but also adds a complexity in its approach and stands out as the most thrash-infused pinnacle in our catalog. It is the track that challenges the listener to confront their own dark and primal nature. Performing this track live was a revelation to me as the imminent connection between the song and audience became an instant hit and I feel the track’s potential is enhanced even more now within a live setting, within our Live Ritual…within our ‘Winter Mass.'”
Bassist Seidemann adds:
“‘Striding the Chasm’ from ‘Winter Mass’ showcases 1349 in supersonic splendor. The live version is a flawlessly executed, hyperaggressive up-tempo rendition, demonstrating the black metal mastery of 1349.”
