Black Vinyl

500x grey with black marble effect 12" (180g) in a black polylined innerbag, gatefold full-color on 350g with gloss lamination, all assembled in a PVC overbag.

“Et Hav av Avstand" is the 8th full-length studio album from the legendary Norwegian Black Metal band Taake.

It consists of four songs clocking in at 42 minutes, displaying some of the finest songwriting yet from this epic one-man band.

Fierce, but melancholy. Vigorously old-school but also progressive. retaining that unfiltered sense of unique rawness that is synonymous with Hoest’s charismatic sound and musical identity.

Taake still manages to stay relevant and at the forefront of the genre and Hoest, who plays every instrument on the album, has ensured that the album is imbued with the unique Taake sound whilst at the same time developing it further.

This is unmistakably Taake, and as always, an intense work that surprises and enthrals.

Clear Vinyl

“Stridens hus”, the sixth album from Taake, is now available for the first time on 180 gram white vinyl and transparent crystal vinyl! Both versions come with the original poster and each is limited to 750 copies.

"Stridens hus" took the unique Taake sound and developed it further. Still true to the spirit of the old Norwegian Black Metal, Hoest breathed new life into the genre by introducing different elements that ensured the sound remained fresh and relevant. However, this is still unmistakably Taake and, as always, we're treated to a varied album with intense, unique and unpredictable dynamics.

Once again, Hoest played all the instruments himself, but this time the Taake live band has contributed to the recording, alongside producer Bjørnar E. Nilsen.

"Stridens hus" takes the unique Taake sound and develops it further.
Still true to the spirit of the old Norwegian Black Metal, Hoest breathes new life into the genre by introducing different elements that ensure the sound remains fresh and relevant. Some parts are more groove and rock orientated, whilst some have a distinctly punk attitude. However, this is still unmistakably Taake and, as always, we're treated to a varied album with intense, unique and unpredictable dynamics.
