Norwegian black metal act 1349 have unveiled the cover art for the North American and European special edition of their upcoming album, 'Demonoir.' The album will be released by Indie Recordings throughout Europe on April 26, and by Prosthetic Records in North America on April 27.

For the band's fifth full-length release, 1349 decided to suck out the fiercest and most potent energies from every single member and surroundings, channeling it into songs that are pulsating with uncanny atmospheres, rawness and nerve shattering intensity. The whole process of getting the material on record was like one long, exhausting black magic summoning that could not be allowed to go wrong.

'Demonoir' is without a shadow of a doubt 1349's darkest, most sinister and brutal work to date, and in this case it comes to mean that the band has gone from the utterly extreme to the genre-expanding and mindboggling. Black Metal cannot, and will never be the same. 'Demonoir' will be available in North America as a digipack CD and a limited edition 12" picture disc LP. The band is also confirmed for North American dates this spring with Cannibal Corpse.
