Taake
Rating: 4/5
If you read my other Taake reviews, you’ll have worked out that I’m quite the fan, so when I found out there was going to be a new album in late 2008 it quickly became one of my most anticipated releases of that year. It took a while but finally I had my copy of the self-titled long player in my sweaty hands and I eagerly dropped it in my CD player. I was elated! Here was the same old school Black Metal love I had come to expect and I started to think this was the best Taake album yet. Fast forward four or so months and the story has changed, just a little bit…
A Taake album was defined by two things prior to this self-titled disc: rip roaring old school Black Metal riffs, and superb folksy melodies thrashed out by razor-sharp guitars. Well I’m very glad to say that the former is still here in spades! Taake is chock-full of head banging goodness courtesy of some of the best second wave style Black Metal riffs going around. …
