Background
In February 2017, it was announced that 1349 have now signed to Season of Mist and are now said to be in the process of writing their seventh studio album, which is set to be released in 2019.[1][2] The first new single from the album, 'Dødskamp' was released digitally on 14 January 2019. The song was part of a compilation album inspired by the work of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch and released on the initiative of the Munch Museum. Guitarist Archaon called Munch one of the most important Norwegian artists, and stated that working on the song was emotionally difficult for the band.[3]
The second single, "Through Eyes of Stone", was released on 9 July 2019.[4] On 31 July 2019, it was revealed that the band's seventh studio album would be titled 'The Infernal Pathway', which was released on 18 October.[5] On the same day, the third single, "Enter Cold Void Dreaming", was released.[6] On 22 January 2020, a music video was released for the track. The video was directed by Aapo Lahtela and Vesa Ranta.[7] The band released the album's fourth and final single, "Striding the Chasm", on 3 September.[8]
