The blind leading the blind

by 1914

supported by

Sid I first discovered this band when I randomly stumbled upon "Where Fear and Weapons Meet." Some consider them Blackened Doom/Death Metal. I just consider them Black Metal with the only caveat being they play detuned or 7 string guitars. Their songs are well orchestrated, layered with many unconventional instruments to add atmospheric ambience, and still spew some of the most raw and aggressive material. Favorite track: Beat The Bastards (The Exploited cover).

sebbo123 simply awesome! quiet start, slow build of the song and then bääm!
And Dmytro Kumar voice!!!! Favorite track: The Hundred Days Offensive.

Ronnie Lacey You hit a man under the chin with a spade you can take his head clean off. Favorite track: Stoßtrupp.

about

!!!NOTE ABOUT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD!!!

As you probably know, band signed a contract with major label, and we were forced close digital sales of the album. To save streaming via bandcamp we listed price 1000 USD, so it's not a typo. But you still will get digital version of the album as a free bonus after CD purchase.

"The music is massively heavy and steeped in the shocking misery of shattered bodies and pervasive death, and it’s also explosively violent, with searing riffs and soaring leads that, together with blazing drumwork and wrenching voices, raise visions of the horrible grandeur and mortifying terror of such man-made conflagrations as the battle to which these songs allude. It will really get your head moving, too - and I’m glad that 1914 have also continued to insert excerpts from period songs, as they do at their previous album." (No Clean Singing).

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 150 fans who also own “The blind leading the blind”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Menschenmühle
by Kanonenfieber

supported by 130 fans who also own “The blind leading the blind”

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
