Now, 1914 unleash the lyric video for “Arrival. The Meuse-Argonne”. The song underlines the cruelty and misery of one of the biggest battles ever fought.
1914 on the historical background of the new video:
“The Meuse-Argonne Offensive was the bloodiest battle in U.S. military history, claiming the lives of more than 26,000 Americans and wounding 95,000. The Operation was launched in Northern France on Sept. 26, 1918 to push the Germans out of the country. The fight lasted a grueling 46 days and generated scores of stories of heroism and sacrifice. ‘The Americans are here,’ a German officer wrote. ‘We can kill them but we can’t stop them.’”
Strongly influenced by genre heroes like BOLT THROWER and ENTOMBED, 1914 released The Blind Leading The Blind, the follow up album for Eschatology of War (2015), on November 11th 2018, exactly 100 years after the end of WWI, which making them one of the most talked about bands in the genre.
