1349 is a black metal band hailing from Norway. The group was formed in 1997 when the band Alvheim broke up and several members sought to create a new black metal band. 1349 has received an unusual amount of attention due to the membership of the well-known black metal drummer Frost of Satyricon. The name 1349 was chosen by the band because it is the year the black death was spread to Norway.

1349 is the year the bubonic plague arrived in Norway; see 1349.da:1349 (band)
