1349 is a black metal band hailing from a suburb of Oslo, Norway. The group formed in 1997 and is comprised of several former members of the band Alvheim.
1349 is notable for its well-known drummer, Frost of (amongst other bands) Satyricon. The band's music is purposely similar in style and construction to the Second Wave of Norwegian black metal bands of the early 1990s and does not incorporate synthesisers. As a result 1349 have been compared, often favourably, to the early incarnations of Enslaved, Burzum, Gorgoroth, Darkthrone, Immortal, and Mayhem. The band tour on a regular basis their live shows often begin with fire-breathing. In recognizing their influences, the band performed a cover of Mayhem's "Buried by Time and Dust" on the debut album Liberation. They have also covered Celtic Frost, the band that Ravn recognises as his principle influence, at their live shows and toured the USA with Celtic Frost in 2006. Ravn also appeared on Celtic Frost's 2006 album Monotheist performing guest vocals on the CD digi-pack bonus track Temple of Depression.
The name 1349 was chosen by the band because it is the year the Black Death plague spread to Norway.
A music video of 1349's song 'Sculptor of Flesh' was released following the band's 2005 album, Hellfire. The video switches from the band performing the song to clips of surgery during playback.
