1914 have released a brand new music video!
The new music video, for the track 1918 Pt. 3: ADE (A Duty to Escape), is the final single lifted from the Ukrainian death metal force’s upcoming album Viribus Unitis, scheduled to be released tomorrow, November 14th, via Napalm Records.
Fusing blackened death-doom with vivid historical storytelling, the track enlists Aaron Stainthorpe (formerly of MY DYING BRIDE, HIGH PARASITE) to deliver hauntingly dark vocals, portraying resistance and survival through the album’s protagonist, Ivan.
Speaking about the new song, k.u.k. Galizisches IR Nr.15, Gefreiter, Ditmar Kumarberg says, “the final single and video, 1918 Pt. 3: ADE (A Duty to Escape), was created in collaboration with two geniuses: the master of animation, Costin Chioreanu, and the genius of liturgical, soul-piercing vocals that you could never mistake for anyone else, Aaron Stainthorpe. This is a story of unbreakable will to live, of the burning thirst for freedom and love. A story of faith in friendship, and the strength that comes from those who stand beside you. Where one falls, together, you rise. You conquer the freezing mountains, the deep snows and even captivity. Beside you are your brothers-in-arms, the ones who lift you in the darkest hour.
‘Those who survived enemy fire – refuse to lose their friends’: And when old values collapse, and the world you knew fades, the only thing holding you together is love. Love for a daughter. For a wife. For your family.
‘The only hope that I care is to meet my daughter and wife’: Love, friendship, and mutual support, the things that make us human. Especially in times of war.”
