Norwegian black metallers 1349 have released a brand new single, titled "Dødskamp". "Dødskamp" is part of a four song compilation that spans multiple musical genres inspired by the work of world-renowned Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. That collection has enlisted multiple bands and was commissioned by the Munch Musem, Innovasjon Norge and Visit Norway. This track will appear on the band's 10'' vinyl, Dødskamp, with April 5th, 2019 release. 1349 will return with a full length release later this year.

Comments 1349's guitarist Archaon: "Munch is unquestionably one of the most important Norwegian artists. His work is dark and eerie and reflects a lot of anxiety, pain, and loneliness in the way I perceive them. So it suited us perfectly. I found this very exciting, especially as I've grown up with several Munch pieces on the walls. I chose the work "Dødskamp", which directly translates to "Death Struggle", which speaks volumes for itself. It was an emotionally Heavy task, and also a completely New way to compose and execute [for us]. It created some very long, sleepless nights but in the end it was worth it. This is our soundtrack to the dilemma of mortality."
