This song describes the terrible events of the Battle of the Messines Ridge during June 7-14, 1917 in Belgium, one of the most insane episodes of the Great War. Subjects of the British crown and ANZACS dug a huge tunnels under the German positions, packed them with hundreds of tons of explosives and blew them up. In one second, in just one moment about 10,000 people have died. They were simply torn to pieces. The human brain is always subject to non-trivial approaches to kill each other. The title of the track is a direct reference to the wonderful book by Jan Passingham - 'Pillars of Fire: The Battle of the Messines Ridge', also the movie 'Beneath Hill 60', and memories of the participants of this event. Some eyewitnesses described the scene as "pillars of fire", although many also acknowledged this was indescribable.

I love how this song captures the feelings of dread, doom and horror that was WW1 and trench warfare. Not all metal bands out there get that or manage to put that across. War is quite frankly horrific, and we'd do well as a society to remember that.
Indeed. War is horrible and it really pisses me off, when some bands present it as something "glorious" and "brotherly". One of the reasons I despise Sabaton.
@@draganov Sabaton didn't glorify wars, they just show us what it is.
It is glorious when soldiers fight for their own country, for their own people, for their own freedom.
It is brotherly when soldiers fight side by side with brother in arm Against All Odds even go far to the point that they can sacrifice themselves for their friend and family.
you have to understand that wars is Humanity grayzone, in wars it show us the bad thing that human can do to each other in the same time it show us the good thing human can do to each other.
Wars is generate by greed, hatred, contradictions and divergence. all of that is Humanity nature so as long as human continue to be human there's no peace just temporarily prepare for war.
And many of this Sabaton song show the dark and depressed side of humanity for example final solution, The End of the War to End All Wars, In Flanders Fields, Great War, Fields of Verdun.
so yes it's not glorify when they just tell the true.
@@draganov
You must react to The Final Solution, Cliffs of Gallipoli, The End of The War to End all Wars, and many more.
Well said
Absolutely, especially when you've experienced war yourself, but my war, our eras war, was nothing as horrific and terrible as ww1, its hard to imagine trench warfare, these men on all sides were truly IroN MeN. Hail the fallen.
Damn, that scene with the aftermath of the explosion. Just blood and guts everywhere. Truly captures the essence of WW1.
Another great song! Interesting fact: there are still some giant mines from this battle underground in the area today, all are inaccessible though because the tunnels have collapsed. The last explosion occurred in 1955, when a 20m deep crater with 60m of diameter was created.
And above one of them is a farm. I call it Kaboom farm. It's a lovely place, but... above a damn mine of severals tons if I remember correctly. (I was told the mine can't explode anymore but stil...)
It were the good tunnels - 26 ways of doom
One million pounds of ammonal
Were packed into the underground pits
Our artillery was silenced, for the first time in years, all was quiet
The sky was a very dark blue in the pre-dawn light
And I swear we heard how the nightingale sings
3 a.m. 7th June
We demolished the bottom of Messines
Trigger down, torn apart by the whirlpool of flame
Nineteen explosions, 10, 000 were killed, colonel said
The boches were stunned, dazed, and horror-stricken
If they were not killed outright
Many of them lay dead in the great craters opened
By the mines secretly planted by "the Moles"
Better the devil you know, than the devil you don't
And i swear we heard how the nightingale sings
3 a.m. 7th June
We demolished the bottom of Messines
Trigger down, torn apart by the whirlpool of flame
10, 000 were killed, colonel said
It were the good tunnels ...
This is definitely gonna be one of my top albums of 2021.
Indeed.
Listened to the new album a few times already today, it's damn good!
the ringing sound after the blast is a nice touch
Once again, I am extremely impressed with this band. The vocals are like Death telling the tale itself. The guitars, bass, and drums intensify the feeling me emitting from the track! Amazing! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
I cannot put into words how fucking awesome 1914 is. Thank you for fusing my passion for WW1 history and blackened death metal together in a way that is more amazing than I could ever hope for.
To myself I just find this very-heavy metal it's hard/harsh sounding for sure but not how I'd eXpect black-metal sounds either
🎧🌍🔥
World heavys-united!!! 🎧🌍🔥💀🔥
Guys, congratulations, this is a really talented and well-made product. I watched the clip and listened the track on the one hand with incredible aesthetic pleasure, on the other hand with a sense of horror at the realisation of the tragedy of the depicted events.
Епічно, потужно, до мурашок по шкірі. Найкращий український гурт традиційно на висоті 🤘🖤
I love the cartoon. I mean, yep, it's gore and gross, but so was the war. Everything is so perfect. The music, the voice, the feelings they give.
I used to work for an Aussie's company, Messines' ridge was part of our remembrance tour. Where you can see deep ponds, an explosion occured for sure.
I played a war board game based on the Battle of Messines. I didn't know anything about the battle until I was reading through the rules and I realized what was going to have to defended against. Needless to say, it was a dark few hours lol
what game was it? it sounds dope
@@cramsrab5871 I also want to know this.
@@SkepticalZombie as do I
Мужики, вы нереальные молодцы! Не могу дождаться вашего альбома! Спасибо вам !
(EN) British remember their war loose and wins. In songs and poetry. It's good. But we..we'll hear Sabaton about our history. (Ru) Британцы помнят их военные поражения и победы. это хорошо. Но мы...мы будем слушать Sabaton про нашу историю.
1- Причем тут британцы, когда 1914- украинская группа?
2- У Сабатон про Россию очень малая часть песен.
Very excited to get this new album, the previous one was an absolute masterpiece!
Я не дивлюсь фільми жахів, тому що мені вистачає історії. Страшнішого за реальність немає нічого) Дякую за чудовий трек та кліп!)))
Yet again another class tune....you take history and make sure people don't forget it...and for that I thank you..war is terrible and as a mum..I feel for those who have lost sons and daughters to it
I think this song will make your band blow up for real :D
Неймовірно, дякую Вам за чудовий кліп та якісну музику!
This one and 100 days offensive are beautiful man. Not sure what one i dig more.
Heavy, contentful & deep. Outstanding!
Both the song and the video are breath taking. I had such a good time talking to Dmytro about this album and the history that factors into it.
Well if their goal was to capture the sheer brutality of what was probably the most savage war ever they succeeded. Some things need to be remembered so we don't repeat the mistakes of this preventable pointless war.
Best band in the world. Hope you guys are safe 🖤
І музика і кліп дуже круті і атмосферні! Українці роблять шедеври 🤘🇺🇦🦾🎸☢️⚒️🏭
I have the luxury to (legally) listen to the new album in full already. It's a gem! More symphonic sounding but still 100% 1914 in its glorious heaviness. "FN .380 ACP#19074" will be awesome live! It's really cool to hear how the sound of the band has evolved with every release. Can't wait for both the vinyl and CD to arrive!
Aight man, I ain't asking for a way to listen to it but I want to know something. Which song would you closely compare in terms of sound and speed to the hellfighter song in the new album, from the songs in their two past albums? Cause that is the song I can't wait to hear
@@Locoinmysleep Hard to compare because the songs are all unique and the band sure is putting effort in not repeating themselves. But when it comes to speed, let's say something between Dernier Pigeon and Stoßtrupp. It's more melodic fast than brutal fast, but an excellent track. Love it!
@@Frank074 yo, I just heard to that first track about FN. So far, that song, for me, has been the best they have ever made, maybe I'm more of a melodic listener, but that song will be the highlight of any live show. All I gotta do and wait for the whole album to drop
Дуже якісно, найочікуваніший вітчизняний реліз року!
Absolutely Dope. Can't wait for album's release
Лише нещодавно знайшла вас', дуже крута група! Привіт із Києва.
the movie Beneath Hill 60 was filmed in my home town. Amazing movie
Can't wait for the preorder to arrive!
The British were the first to attempt to send humans into space. Ten thousand Germans at a time. The mission simply failed lol
Ukraine's metal is having a great 2021 year.
I had no idea a comment could age so badly
This album gonna be a banger, can't wait to hear the song about the Harlem hellfighters
After I heard this song I did some research about the story that is told in this song. I am shocked how ONE SINGLE EXPLOSION killed 10.000 German soldiers. This is unbelievable. Love this song. Greetings from Germany.🇩🇪
The 10,000 is one of the famous Myths of Messiness. The number killed by the 19 mines (not one single explosion) alone is estimated by the British to be far lower not likely more than 500-2,000.
Fantastic song but it's the artwork that is jaw dropping, it reminds me of the art in the Charlie's War comics from my youth
This is unreal. Best find in ages.
Still waiting on my green vinyl copy of this from October..... What an amazing album!!!!!
Creepy masterpiece. Thanks
The music of trenches filled with rats, gangrene and sorrow.
Video hits as hard as the song. Awesome job!
A true masterpiece of high art.
caralho que obra linda, muito foda!
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Saudações do 🇧🇷
Devastating
Goosebumps! Reality of war for such successful offence operation. Meant to be hymn of victory but guys made it dreadfully natural.
Perfect work! Just perfect
Es un verdadero placer escuchar y ver propuestas como estas. Grande !!!!!! 1914.
I liked it but prefered the other track released, this song sounds like it'd work better in an album context than as a single... Cool Video and I can't wait for the album to drop.
Amazing track from an awesome album. Love this band 🖤
This is fucking brilliant.... its like one by metallica but really proper grim and black metal, superb
What an awesome band!
I wish that in addition they'll start another band - 1939.
Pounding battle song and gorgeous video.🔥🔥🔥
Great job guys thanks a lot!
Amazing!
Now I want to play Valiant Hearts while listening to this.
Marduk Vibes 🤘🏻
55 crystal generation people dislikes this, they don't like history, nor the truth, nor my comment, nor anything
Powerful sound. Sturmtruppen 2021.
Мега крутий ролик, трек просто порвав. Це більше ніж я очікував. Чекаємо виходу нового альбому.
Sorry but that high pitch ringing at 3:45 just ruins the whole song. Its fine for the video but listening to that with headphones at work or wherever else is not pleasant.
Thats the point. U have little sneak peek how u would feel after one of those explosions.
Forgot this band existed. Now I don't know who will have the better WW1-themed metal album of 2021: these guys or Kanonenfieber?
Great !
3:44-4:32 That ringing is annoying as fuck!
Yep, but it's necessary to feel the song
I tried to like this song but the ringing in the middle of the song is incredibly irritating. I don't want to turn down the volume for that part every time I listen to this song.
I also hate it but that was the point. To make us feel like we just been through a huge explosion. To make us feel uncomfortable.
if you want to hear more of that sound search up "dog whistle ten hours" 🤭
Metal and fucking history/war, hand in hand the waltz us through the trauma, that many of us have endured thoughout time.
Ooooohhhh new 1914, I am so hyped.
Мурашки.
Brutal.
Horrifying
Візуалізація нерекально крута, дивишся і афігіваєш від усього!
Cool! \m/
No War!
wow
Интересно, кто занимается за оформлением клипов группы, анимации?
A Fucking Masterpiece
Amasing!!!
Well somebody is making black metal listenable and interesting.
Wow
This album is going to rip!

I saw this in an nz film and a lot more accurate.
KILLER
Потужно!!!!
Can’t wait for a collaboration with Sabaton 😁
Sabaton sucks, 1914 rules
god i hope sabaton never even gets close to them, they might smear 1914 in crap
NO WAY!!!
Sabaton glorify war with their happy sounding tunes about the horrors of war, yes i really want to listen to a happy sounding song, while listening to a song about
one of the deadliest and most tragic conflicts in human history... 1914 instead treats the subject matter with the utmost respect and care
instead of glorifying it, they just tell you the bitter honest truth about WWI
There is no glory in war, only death, misery, blood and anguish, and 1914 understands this completly, not like Sabaton which makes war sound like it's a fun jolly good time...
well seems me and you are the odd ones out in wanting a collab. Would be epic to have these guys put in their style in a fusion of a power/black metal song
Aww yes. The battle of messiness. Me VS my room...
Still an ongoing war
slava ukraini!
