1914 Claim Italian Police Stole Money the Band Raised for Ukrainian Troops
Their first show in Italy should have been an entirely positive experience, but Ukrainian World War I-themed blackened death metal band 1914 ran into a problem with local police over money they collected during the tour.
According to a statement the band shared with fans, their visit to Italy went mostly without a hitch until they went to leave the country. During their travels, they were stopped by the country’s financial police and subjected to an inspection. What resulted was the immediate seizure of cash donations the band had been collecting throughout the run of dates to support the Ukrainian army.
Though the band says they made sure to keep the amounts within legal declaration limits as they pertain to each member, the fact that all the money was stored in a single box meant they were in violation of some law.
“We were carrying cash donations for the army ā funds we collect during the tour. And this didn’t sit well with the officers, because the cash was kept together in one box. Even though we did not exceed the declaration limits per person and did not break any laws, the Italian Guardia di Finanza saw it differently and fined both us and the donation funds.”
The band said they tried to explain themselves to authorities, but their protestations fell on deaf ears, despite even going so far as to seek legal counsel. What resulted was a ā¬4,800 fine issued by the Guardia di Finanza.
“We hope that the ā¬4,800 taken from us by the Guardia di Finanza will help them continue their work confidently and feel satisfied. But i want you to know ā your people completely f’cing wrong.”

EATEN BY SHARKS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM THE UNDERTOW OF HATE. FIRST SINGLE āCAPSIZEDā DROPS MAY 30 VIA CDN RECORDS – @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EATEN BY SHARKS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM THE UNDERTOW OF HATE . FIRST SINGLE āCAPSIZEDā DROPS MAY 30 VIA CDN RECORDS
Presave & stream: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/eatenbysharks1/capsized
Canadaās rising extreme metal force Eaten By Sharks return with a vengeance, announcing their upcoming full-length album The Undertow Of Hate , set for release July 17, 2026 via CDN Records. Leading the charge is the albumās first single, āCapsized,ā arriving May 30 and delivering a crushing preview of the bandās most focused and punishing material to date.
Blending progressive death metal with technical precision, groove-heavy riffs, and deathcore aggression, Eaten By Sharks have evolved far beyond their earlier Eradication era. With The Undertow Of Hate , the band leans fully into a composition-driven approach, crafting songs that prioritize flow, momentum, and unpredictability over formula.
āCapsizedā serves as the opening descent into the albumās dark conceptual narrative. It captures the moment where calm waters give way to chaos, setting the tone for a cinematic journey through isolation, destruction, and transformation at sea. The track showcases the bandās signature balance of polyrhythmic complexity, shifting time signatures, and straight crushing groove, all while maintaining cohesion.
The band states:
āEaten By Sharks follow up their 2022 release, Eradication , with a more refined and fully realized record in The Undertow of Hate . This album reflects a deeper understanding of who we are as artists. We took time to fully immerse ourselves in the writing process and build a cohesive concept rooted in a single cinematic moment of horror. The record follows a journey that begins in calm, descends into chaos at sea, and ultimately returns to where it started, transformed into something darker and irreversible.
Throughout the album, subtle thematic details and visual elements tie directly into the overarching concept, creating a unified experience between the music and the artwork. Musically, we push further into the sound weāve become known for, blending polyrhythms, odd time signatures, and crushing grooves while always prioritizing flow and momentum between ideas.
Working again with producer Christian Donaldson helped tighten the performances and bring out the best in the material. The Undertow of Hate represents some of our most focused and punishing work to date. It is heavy, groovy, and constantly evolving without losing coherence.ā
Produced by Eaten By Sharks and Christian Donaldson, and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Donaldson, the album captures the band at their sharpest and most intentional. Each track shifts between technical brutality, groove-laden passages, and relentless aggression, all tied together by a dark conceptual thread rooted in nautical horror.
For fans of Fit For An Autopsy, Gojira, and Cattle Decapitation, The Undertow Of Hate is shaping up to be a standout release in modern extreme metal, pushing boundaries while staying firmly grounded in heaviness.
Release Details:
Single: āCapsizedā
