Everything about 1349 Band totally explained
1349 is a
black metal band hailing from a suburb of
Oslo, Norway. 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 doesn't incorporate synthesisers. As a result, 1349 have been compared to the early incarnations of
Enslaved,
Emperor,
Burzum,
Gorgoroth,
Darkthrone,
Immortal, and
Mayhem, and are also described as being much heavier than most other Black Metal bands. This band have so far have rejected the more commercial style of black metal exhibited by some bands.
The name
1349 was chosen by the band because it's the year the
Black Death plague spread to Norway.

1997 and comprises several former members of the band
Alvheim. Their drummer,
Frost is also a member of
Satyricon.
1349 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 their debut album, Liberation. They have also covered
Celtic Frost, the band that Ravn recognises as his principle influence, at their live shows.
In
2006, they toured the USA with Celtic Frost. Ravn also appeared on Celtic Frost's 2006 album, Monotheist, performing guest vocals on the CD digi-pack bonus track, Temple of Depression.
In

Hellfest festival, they were to play during the day, but they asked to change to play in the dark instead.

Celtic Frost frontman
Tom Gabriel Fischer during their appearance at the
Inferno Metal Festival on March
2008 in Oslo for a rendition of the Celtic Frost song "The Usurper".
