Revelations of the Black Flame is the fourth studio album by Norwegian black metal band 1349.

The studio sessions took place during December 2008 in a woodland studio in Bøverbru (a village in the Toten region of Norway).[8][9] 1349 mixed the album in January 2009.[10] The album was co-mixed by Tom Gabriel Fischer.[11] This marked the first and as yet, only experimental album by the band, as they almost completely abandoned their earlier old school black metal style, primarily shifting to a more Dark ambient sound, although all other releases have stuck with their original style.
