Taake - Kveld

Review by Jules Corriere

Kveld, the latest album by Norwegian black metal band Taake, is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that showcases the band's signature sound and style. With its atmospheric and melodic compositions, the album takes the listener on a journey through the dark and mysterious landscapes of the Norwegian wilderness.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful instrumental track "Sverdets Vei", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features haunting guitar riffs, atmospheric synths, and haunting vocals that create an eerie and mystical atmosphere.

The album then moves into the powerful and aggressive "Inntrenger", which features driving rhythms, blistering guitar riffs, and intense vocals that showcase the band's black metal roots. The track is a perfect example of Taake's ability to seamlessly blend melody and aggression.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Havet i Huset", which features beautiful acoustic guitars and haunting vocals, and "Fra Vadested Til Vaandesmed", which features powerful drumming, intense guitar riffs, and a driving rhythm that will leave listeners headbanging.

About Taake

Black metal band from Bergen, Norway. The solo project started in 1993 lead by U. Høst under the name Thule. Høst doesn't do everything himself though, he does get help from session musicians.

After the releases the band name changed to Taake, which represents the fog around the seven mountains of his hometown, Bjørgvin. Another demo was made in 1995 under the name "Manndaudsvinter" and a 7" EP was released in 1996, named "Koldbrann I Jesu Marg" on Høst's own Mosegrodd Productions. This solo-project is also very unusual because the lyrics are mostly formulated in old Norwegian verse pattern and written in the old runic alphabet. In 1999, "Nattestid..." was released, and it gave Taake a lot of fame. Høst had done all (harsh and clean vocals, guitar, lyrics) but bass and drums were done by session musician Tundra. It was recorded and produced in Grieghallen, by the famous Pytten. In 2002 the second full-length was released, "...Bjoergvin...
