Our Take
Our Take
Norwegian black metal band Taake have never been ones to shy away from controversy. With their latest offering, "Et Hav Av Avstand" (which translates to "A Sea of Distance"), they dive deep into the icy waters of despair and despair, creating a cacophony of chaotic beauty that is sure to leave listeners both mesmerised and bewildered.
The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "A Sea of Distance," a track that lures you in with its atmospheric guitar riffs before plunging you headfirst into a swirling maelstrom of blast beats and guttural screams. It's a rollercoaster of emotion that never lets up, with each track building on the intensity of the last.
"Transcending Darkness" is a standout track with its eerie melodies and hypnotic rhythms, while "The Shadows We Cast" showcases Taake's skill in crafting epic compositions that are both melodic and abrasive. The title track, "Et Hav Av Avstand," is a sprawling epic that clocks in at over 10 minutes long, taking the listener on a journey through the darkest depths of the human psyche.
Overall, "Et Hav Av Avstand" is a triumph for Taake, showcasing their mastery of the black metal genre and cementing their status as one of the most innovative bands in the scene today. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a glass of mead, and let Taake take you on a journey through the icy wilderness of their music. You won't regret it.
