Demonoir is the fifth full-length album by Norwegian black metal band 1349. The new album shows "a return to the band's more traditional, raw-yet-technical black metal sound." It was released on 26 April 2010 in Europe and the day after in North America. Ravn, 1349's lead singer, stated that most of Demonoir was written and rehearsed over the course of a few months. Archaon, the guitarist, was the main songwriter, but the other members helped arrange and structure the tracks. Demonoir was co-produced by Thomas Gabriel Fischer (along with Ravn and Archeon) and was recorded at Studio Nyhagen in Norway. Demonoir features a return to 1349's old style compared to its more experimental predecessor, Revelations of the Black Flame. Critics characterized Demonoir as having traditional aspects of black metal, including fast tempos, a "razor-wire guitar sound",and an overall aggressive sound. The songs on Demonoir are separated by ambient interludes, all named "Tunnel of Set".
