1914 is set to release their new record Viribus Unitis on November 14, but they’ve got one last battle to fight – specifically the final single “1918 Pt 3: ADE (A Duty to Escape)” featuring Aaron Stainthorpe (ex-My Dying Bride, High Parasite, etc.). Because if you’re going for something fairly melancholic, it feels only logical to Stainthorpe a call.
On the single, 1914 vocalist k.u.k. Galizisches IR Nr.15, Gefreiter, Ditmar Kumarberg said: “The final single and video, ‘1918 Pt. 3: ADE (A Duty to Escape)’, was created in collaboration with two geniuses: the master of animation, Costin Chioreanu, and the genius of liturgical, soul-piercing vocals that you could never mistake for anyone else—Aaron Stainthorpe.
“This is a story of unbreakable will to live, of the burning thirst for freedom and love. A story of faith in friendship, and the strength that comes from those who stand beside you. Where one falls, together, you rise. You conquer the freezing mountains, the deep snows, and even captivity. Beside you are your brothers-in-arms—the ones who lift you in the darkest hour.
“‘Those who survived enemy fire – refuse to lose their friends’: And when old values collapse, and the world you knew fades—the only thing holding you together is love. Love for a daughter. For a wife. For your family. The only hope that I care is to meet my daughter and wif’: Love, friendship, and mutual support— the things that make us human. Especially in times of war.”
Pre-orders for Viribus Unitis are available here.
