TAAKE REVEALS DETAILS OF EIGHTH FULL-LENGTH ALBUM AND NEW SINGLE

Posted: June 15, 2023 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, TAAKE

It has been thirty years since Hoest, nowadays a figure of near-legendary status on the Norwegian Black Metal scene, brought his one-man project TAAKE to life. Needless to say, lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then: seven full-length albums and a plethora of other releases, as well as a well-earned reputation for electrifying live appearances backed by a live band filled with superlative musicians.

It has been some time since 2017’s “Kong Vinter”, and it is as well to point out that a couple of years after its release, the world was hit by the Pandemic. However, this disaster proved to be a very creative time for Hoest, who was able to produce a significant amount of material, a portion of which is destined to see the light of day on TAAKE’s eighth full-length album. Titled “Et Hav av Avstand” (“A Sea of Distance”), it is set for release on Dark Essence Records on the 1st of September.

Consisting of four songs, with a combined running time of 42 minutes, “Et Hav av Avstand” arguably displays some of Hoest’s finest song writing to date. It is a fierce, but melancholy, piece of work that retains that unique, unfiltered, sense of rawness that is synonymous with Hoest’s sound and charismatic musical identity.

And today, fans will, for the first time, get a taste of the album with the release of the track “Et Uhyre av en Kniv” (“A Beast of a Knife”) which can be downloaded or streamed from a number of services at:

https://link.darkessencerecords.no/Taake_Et-uhyre-av-en-Kniv

Throughout his career Hoest has made sure that TAAKE manages to stay relevant and remain at the forefront of the Black Metal genre, losing none of the unique sound that has drawn legions of fans to the band, but at the same time never allowing that sound to stagnate.

He admitted in a recent, and very rare interview, that over the past few years he had hardly listened to any music. In other words, his recent compositions drew upon no inspiration outside of his own inner thoughts, feelings and reflections.

This has made “Et Hav av Avstand” a vigorously old-school album, appealing on that level to the more traditional listener, but Hoest, who plays every instrument on the album, has ensured that whilst the album is imbued with TAAKE’s unmistakable sound, that sound is, nevertheless, developed further, embracing the tastes of TAAKE’s more recent fans.

Recorded and produced by Bjørnar Erevik Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES) at his Conclave and Earshot Studios in Bergen, and with front cover photo by Bende Csaba, track listing for “Et Hav av Avstand” is as follows:

Denne forblaaste Ruin av en Bro
Utarmede Gruver
Gid sprakk Vi
Et Uhyre av en Kniv

“Et Hav av Avstand” will be available in CD, Cassette, LP (the first pressing of which will contain an A2 Poster), Ltd Edition White and Transparent LPs (limited to 1000 copies each), and Digital formats.

It can now be pre-ordered from:

Webshops: https://darkessencerecords.no/kar266-taake-et-hav-av-avstand/
US Webshop: https://darkessence.indiemerch.com

Plans are being drawn up for a tour, and in the meantime, TAAKE has been confirmed for the following festival appearances:

05 Aug: Beyond the Gates, Bergen, NO
12 Aug: Alcatraz Festival, Kortrijk, BE
25 Aug: Metal Mine, Sztuki, PL

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS SET TO RELEASE CD VERSION OF TAAKE TRACKS FROM RECENT 10″ SPLIT SERIES

Posted: May 21, 2021 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, TAAKE
Tags: Black Metal, Dark Essence Records, Helnorsk Svartmetall, Hoest, Norwegian Black Metal, Taake, TNBM

Over the past months, Norwegian Black Metal icons TAAKE have released a series of 10″ splits with three different bands (WHOREDOM RIFE, DEATHCULT and HELHEIM), on three different labels, and, as always happens in the case of vinyl releases, fans have been asking for a CD version.

And Dark Essence Records are happy, as always, to oblige. So, on the 2nd July, they will be releasing a limited edition Digipak CD, along with a Digital version, of the six TAAKE tracks from the series, which will include a very special acoustic version of “Nattestid ser Porten vid I”, acknowledged by Black Metal fans the world-over as not only a classic TAAKE track, but a classic of the whole genre itself.

The release is titled “Avvik”, which translated means “anomaly” or “deviation”, which makes it a very appropriate title given that the tracks from the splits would never really fit into any of TAAKE’s own releases. You could, of course, also argue that TAAKE mastermind Hoest has always ploughed a very individual furrow with his Helnorsk Svartmetall sound, standing outside the mainstream of Black Metal, and therefore making the choice of title doubly apt.

All the tracks of “Avvik” have been recorded and re-mixed by VULTURE INDUSTRIES’ Bjørnar E. Nilsen, and re-mastered for digital release by Herbrand Larsen at their Conclave & Earshot Studio in Bergen.

Some of the re-mixes have some very surprising guests, who do not appear on the originals and are exclusive to this release. These include Dr Mikannibal of SIGH who did TAAKE the honour of adding her saxophone to a slightly longer version of the Sisters of Mercy cover “Heartland”. Whilst TAAKE’s live guitarist (and banjo legend) Gjermund created the acoustic version “Nattestid ser Porten vid I”.

Track listing for “Avvik” is as follows:

1. Ubeseiret
2. Heartland
3. Nattestid ser Porten vid I
4. Slagmark
5. Ravnajuv
6. Brotne Bein og Mannefall
7. Ein Baat i Foss

“Avvik” is now available to pre-order at the following:

Webshop: https://darkessencerecords.no/shop
Bandcamp: https://taake.bandcamp.com
US Webshop: https://darkessence.aisamerch.com/

TAAKE will hit the road in January of 2022 with KAMPFAR for the long-awaited tour which was previously cancelled due to the pandemic.

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS TO RELEASE SPLIT EP FROM TAAKE AND HELHEIM

Posted: December 10, 2020 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, HELHEIM, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, TAAKE
Tags: Bergen, Black Metal, Dark Essence Records, Helheim, Helnorsk Svartmetall, Norway, Norwegian Black Metal, Taake

Norwegian Black Metal icon Hoest has cast some positivity into the hell that has been 2020, with the release of two TAAKE 10″split EPs, one with DEATHCULT (on Edged Circle Productions) and one with WHOREDOM RIFE (on Terratur Possessions), and now, as the year draws to a close, a third split has been announced.

The new EP will see TAAKE join forces with HELHEIM, and will be the last of the three 10″ splits. Titled ”Henholdsvis” the EP will appear on Bergen’s eponymous Dark Essence Records, the long-time label of both bands, and is set for release on the 5th March 2021.

For “Henholdsvis” TAAKE has recorded two new tracks, “Brotne Bein og Mannefall” and “Ein Baat i Foss”, whose lyrics are based on poems by the famed Norwegian writer Arne Garborg (1851-1924). With these new tracks, the band has produced the kind of Black Metal fans crave – dark, cold and gritty.

HELHEIM, on the other hand, will present two covers. The first is a re-mastered version of EMPEROR’s “Heksesabbat / Witches Sabbath”, which originally appeared on the tribute album “A Tribute to Emperor – In Honour of Icon E” in 2012, and which has now been totally remastered. For the second of the two covers HELHEIM have chosen to go down a very interesting path by recording a very different, and original, version of “Orkan” , from TAAKE’s “Noregs Vaapen” album.

Recorded by Bjørnar E. Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES, BLACK HOLE GENERATOR) at his Conclave and Earshot Studios in the bands’ hometown of Bergen, and with artwork by H’grimnir, tracklisting for “Henholdsvis” is as follows:

1. Brotne Bein og Mannefall – Taake
2. Ein Baat i Foss – Taake
3. Orkan – Helheim
4. Heksesabbat – Helheim

“Henholdsvis” will be released in 10″ black vinyl as well as in red, white and blue vinyl, limited to 333 copies each. It will also be available in digital format and can now be pre-order from the following:

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS TO RE-RELEASE VINYL VERSIONS OF TWO TAAKE ALBUMS

Posted: September 13, 2019 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, TAAKE, Uncategorized
Tags: Black Metal, Dark Essence Records, Helnorsk Svartmetall, Norwegian Black Metal, Taake, Vinyl

Good news for fans of TAAKE who have long been clamouring for the re-release of the long-sold out vinyl versions of 2008’s “Taake” and 2017’s “Kong Vinter” albums, because, as of the 22nd November, they will be available on Dark Essence Records.

Featuring Hoest on vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar and drums, TAAKE’s self-titled album was recorded at the Conclave and Earshot Studio by Bjornar E. Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES, BLACK HOLE GENERATOR), back in the dog days of 2008 and has, since then, become a Black Metal classic. Following on from the iconic trilogy of “Nattestid…”, “…Bjoergvin…” and “…Doedskvad”, the album heralded new start, with TAAKE becoming more active as a live entity.

Originally released on CD, “Taake” was given a limited vinyl release in 2009, and, other than as a part of 2018’s career spanning picture disc box set “7 Fjell”, it has never since been available on vinyl. With the original pressing currently selling for astronomical prices on the secondary market, fans have actively sought to persuade Dark Essence to make it available once again, and the label has listened to their pleas.

“Taake” will be released in gatefold format, with the bonus track that appeared on the original vinyl having been removed. To differentiate it from the 2009 release”Taake” will come with an alternative cover, using a photo from the original photo shoot, and will be available in three different versions. Aside from the regular black version, there will also be white vinyl version, which will be limited to 500 copies, and a 250 copies, strictly limited, clear vinyl version which will only be available exclusively through the Dark Essence Records Webshop.

Tracklisting as follows:

Taake Vinyl Edition 2019

Atternatt
Umenneske
Lukt til Helvete
Doedsjarl
Motpol
September omsider
Velg bort Livet

Taake vinyl rerelease PR

TAAKE’s “Kong Vinter” once again saw Hoest playing all the instruments on an album that rose like a Black Metal beacon from the gloom of the rugged, rain-swept coastline of Bjoergvin. Traditional in spirit, “Kong Vinter” provides a soundscape underscored by a nasty groove, that at times can appear deceptively playful. It is familiar to the ear, and yet it has a freshness that is so often found lacking in the genre, demonstrating Hoest’s unnerring ability to develop TAAKE’s sound in such a way that keeps it relevant and up to date, whilst retaining the intensity that fans have come to admire in the genre.

“Kong Vinter” will be available in a regular sleeve in a black vinyl version. Once again a new photo from the original photo shoot has been used for the cover, and the bonus track from the original vinyl version has been removed.

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS CELEBRATES TAAKE’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY WITH A LIMITED EDITION PICTURE DISC BOX SET CONTAINING ALL THE BAND’S FULL-LENGTH ALBUMS

Posted: October 25, 2018 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, TAAKE, Uncategorized

taake-7fjell PR3

If there is one thing that Hoest, the iconic leader and frontman of Norwegian Black Metallers TAAKE, has demonstrated with his trademark Helnorsk Svartmetall sound over the band’s twenty five year career, it is that it is possible for the genre not only to survive, but also to thrive and re-generate itself into something fresh and relevant, whilst losing none of its traditional feel.

And alongside TAAKE for many years now has been the Dark Essence Records label, based, like the band itself, in Bergen, and well known not only for its roster of long-established and extremely successful exponents of Black and Extreme Metal, but also for its unerring ability to sniff out the best of the new generation of bands coming up today.

Now, this hugely successful partnership between label and band has come up with a collaboration that will see the release of “7 Fjell”. This career-spanning, limited edition box set will be a one-time only issue of 1,000 copies, and will contain seven picture discs that comprise all of TAAKE’s full-length albums to date. Each individual disc of seven tracks each (no bonus tracks), will come in a die-cut sleeve, and also included in the box will be a TAAKE slip mat for your record player! Of the seven albums, the last four have never before been released as picture discs.

“7 Fjell”, which translated means the “7 Mountains”, is a reference to both the seven mountains that surround Bergen, as well as the seven albums themselves. With artwork by HELHEIM’s H’grimnir, based on a photo by Peter Beste, the picture discs are as follows:

Nattestid…. (1999)

Having kicked off the 25th Anniversary celebrations with a show in the band’s home town of Bergen, TAAKE’s iconic frontman and founder , Hoest, has, over the years, honed the band’s trademark “Helnorsk Svartmetall ” sound to perfection. For a quarter of a century Hoest has always remained true to the spirit of Norwegian Black Metal, both in the studio and on the stage, and has never allowed the icy, dangerous edge, much beloved by Black Metal fans, to stagnate, keeping it fresh with surprising twists and turns.

Hoest’s powerful presence, which dominates any stage on which he sets foot, coupled with a live lineup of experienced and highly skilled musicians, and an extensive back catalogue to draw from, has always ensured that TAAKE’s performances are an experience that is guaranteed to enthral.

Aside from the upcoming European tour, TAAKE will be making a number of Festival and club appearances this year including Stockholm Slaughter in Sweden, Incineration Festival in the UK, Tuska Live in Finland, In Flammen Open Air in Germany, Beyond the Gates in Norway and the Colony Summer Fest in Italy.

TAAKE’s “Helnorsk Svartmetall ” sound, honed to perfection by TAAKE’s iconic frontman and founder Hoest, has been keeping the spirit of Norwegian Black Metal alive for a quarter of a century, both in the studio and on the stage, whilst never allowing the icy, dangerous edge, much beloved by Black Metal fans, to stagnate.

TAAKE’s seventh full-length album “Kong Vinter” was released on Dark Essence Records at the end of 2017 and is available, along with the band’s other releasesn and exclusive merchandise, from the following, as well as all the usual retailers:

Taake US Tour PR1

One of the most iconic bands on the Norwegian Black Metal scene, TAAKE’s seventh full-length album “Kong Vinter”, released on Dark Essence Records at the end of 2017, further cemented the reputation of its enigmatic founder and frontman, Hoest, as one of those rare artists who manage to keep alive the old Norwegian spirit of Black Metal, in what has nowadays become a multi faceted, and fractured, genre. And, not only does he succeed in keeping the original genre alive, he also manages to breathe fresh life into it, with the introduction of new, and sometimes surprising, elements into the band’s music, whilst at the same time ensuring that it never loses that icy, dangerous, edge.

With a live lineup of skilled, and highly experienced musicians, TAAKE is a force to be reckoned with on the live circuit. Hoest’s charismatic persona and powerful presence dominate the stage, and his high octane performances, combined with an extensive back catalogue from which to draw the band’s set, means that TAAKE’s shows are not just unique, but also varied.

“Kong Vinter” and other TAAKE releases and merchandise are available from all the usual retailers as well as from the folllowing:

Bandcamp: https://taake.bandcamp.com/
EU Webshop: www.darkessencerecords.no/webshop/
US Webshop https://darkessence.aisamerch.com/
