Kong Vinter - CD

Taake's seventh album now available in jewel case format. 

From the rugged, rain-swept coastline of Bjoergvin, surrounded by the looming embrace of seven mountains, rises Taake's seventh full-length album, a beacon of traditional black metal. It is fresh yet traditional in spirit. It is familiar to the ear, yet unexpected, winding its sinuous and unpredictable way through a soundscape that only a mother could love. A soundscape underpinned by a wicked groove that at times can seem deceptively playful. Taake still manages to stay relevant and at the forefront of the genre, and true to form, Hoest, who plays every instrument on "Kong Vinter" himself, has ensured that the album is imbued with the unique Taake sound, while at the same time developing it further. "Kong Vinter" is both progressive and straightforward, with a touch of the devil's own music - rock'n'roll. This is unmistakably Taake, and as always, Hoest has created an intense work that surprises and thrills. Prepare yourself for an icy journey through the merciless Norwegian winter, because winter takes everything.
