About the album

With their self-titled release "Taake," the Norwegian band delves deep into the raw and atmospheric realms of black metal. Recorded amidst the "dog days" of 2008 at Conclave Studio, this album captures an essence both primal and sophisticated. Taake's sound is a blend of intense riffs, haunting melodies, and Hoest's distinctive vocal delivery. The album is not just a collection of songs but a journey through the bleak landscapes of Norway, encapsulating emotions ranging from raw aggression to melancholic introspection.

"Taake" stands as a testament to the band's enduring legacy in the black metal scene. The tracks are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, offering listeners an immersive experience that is both brutal and beautiful. The inclusion of lyrics in runes adds a layer of mystique and authenticity, connecting modern listeners with ancient traditions. This release solidifies Taake's position as one of the forerunners in the genre, pushing boundaries while staying true to their roots.
