Memory Garden's sixth studio album, titled 1349, is finished and ready for release on December 17th, 2021 via No Remorse Records. This will the first full length effort in 8 years from Swedish veterans. It was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö and the cover artwork is created once again by the mighty Hjules Illustration and Design.

"1349 is a conceptual album and the storyline covers both fact and fiction, taking place during the pandemic years of the black plague. "Stefan and I were talking about how the new songs were coming together nicely, and he told me he really wanted the album to carry a concept", states drummer Tom Björn.

"We started contemplating different themes that could fit our music, and we both got hooked on the black plague. A very dark and tragic period of history... We drew some guidelines, or a few key words for the concept, and after that I developed the story incorporating a few facts with the fictive elements. It's not a linear timeline throughout the album, but a few songs are connected by the same character and happen in the correct order. Some things have to be read between the lines though".
