Taake - No

Review by Fr. Cory Sticha

The album "No" by Taake is a heavy metal masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of black metal and rock. The album is full of aggressive riffs, intricate drumming, and haunting vocals that create a dark and intense atmosphere. The songs are filled with dynamic shifts in tempo and mood, creating a sense of tension and release that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. The use of traditional Norwegian instruments and lyrics in the native language adds an extra layer of authenticity to the sound. "No" is a must-listen for any fan of extreme metal and a testament to Taake's status as one of the leading bands in the genre.

After the releases the band name changed to Taake, which represents the fog around the seven mountains of his hometown, Bjørgvin. Another demo was made in 1995 under the name "Manndaudsvinter" and a 7" EP was released in 1996, named "Koldbrann I Jesu Marg" on Høst's own Mosegrodd Productions. This solo-project is also very unusual because the lyrics are mostly formulated in old Norwegian verse pattern and written in the old runic alphabet. In 1999, "Nattestid..." was released, and it gave Taake a lot of fame. Høst had done all (harsh and clean vocals, guitar, lyrics) but bass and drums were done by session musician Tundra. It was recorded and produced in Grieghallen, by the famous Pytten. In 2002 the second full-length was released, "...Bjoergvin...
