Taake are a band from Norway that has a history that dates back to the 90's that plays a very primal form of viking/black metal and this is a review of their self titled album which was released by Century Media Records under collaboration with Svartekunst Productions during the year of 2009.
Drums are mostly mid paced to fast with a lot of brutal blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone which follows the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they bring out a very powerful sound.
Rhythm guitars are mostly mid paced to fast primal Norwegian style black metal riffs with some thrash and punk feelings to them at times along with some slower distorted riffing, while the lead guitars are very primal sounding black metal guitar solos.
Vocals are all high pitched black metal screams, while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and seem to cover Norse/Asataru style themes, as for the production on this recording which was recorded at Innspilt i Conclave Studio in 2008 sounds very dark, raw, and heavy.
In my opinion this is another good release from Taake and this is a lot more rawer than most albums that come out on Century Media Records, if you are a fan of their previous albums you will not be disappointed with this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Atternatt" "September omsider" and "Velg bort Livet". RECOMMENDED BUY.
