Our Take

Norwegian black metal stalwarts Taake return with their latest offering, "Stridens Hus" (Clear Vinyl), and it's safe to say they haven't toned down their signature haunting sound one bit.

From the moment the needle drops, listeners are greeted with a cascade of riffs as sharp as a Viking's axe, cutting through the murky atmosphere like a ship through icy waters. Frontman Hoest's snarling vocals are as potent as ever, invoking images of shadowy forests and pre-Christian rituals.

Tracks like "Det Fins En Prins" and "Orm" showcase Taake's ability to seamlessly blend relentless blast beats with melodic guitar lines, creating an immersive listening experience that transports you straight to the heart of the Scandinavian wilderness.

But it's not all doom and gloom - "Stridens Hus" also offers moments of unexpected beauty, such as the haunting acoustic interludes on "Fra Vadested Til Vaandesmed" that provide a momentary reprieve from the sonic onslaught.

Whether you're a die-hard black metal fan or just dipping your toes into the icy waters of the genre, Taake's "Stridens Hus" is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab your drinking horn, light the torches, and prepare to be engulfed in the darkness. Skål!
