Editor's note

1914, a band named for the year World War I began

A metal and post-punk project that draws heavily from historical conflict for its songs.

If you want to get a feel for 1914, start with 'FN.380 ACP#19074' or 'A7V Mephisto.' Both songs show how they turn historical details into something heavy and immediate.

They're not just another metal band, they build entire songs around specific moments from World War I. That kind of detail gives their music a grim, almost archival weight, and it's why they've carved out a space in alternative music without fitting neatly into one category.

Formed in the early 2000s around vocalist and guitarist Bryan Funck, they've released albums like 'The Blind Owl' and 'Where Fear and Weapons Meet.' Their lineup has rotated over time, but the focus on World War I themes has stayed consistent, from early tracks like 'Hanging On The Old Barbed Wire' to later ones such as 'Passchenhell.'

The band 1914 formed in the early 2000s around vocalist and guitarist Bryan Funck. Their name references the year World War I began, which hints at their interest in historical conflict.

They've released albums including 'The Blind Owl,' 'Hiraeth,' and 'Where Fear and Weapons Meet.' Their track 'FN.380 ACP#19074' appears among their most notable songs. The music incorporates elements from post-punk and metal, with a rotating lineup of musicians contributing over time.
