The first full-length album, Nattestid..., was originally released in 1999. The album was written entirely by Hoest, who was joined by a session musician, Tundra, to perform bass and drums. It was recorded 1997/98 at the legendary Grieghallen Studios (Immortal, Mayhem, Gorgoroth) with Pytten. Nattestid was a stellar introduction to Taake's unusual brand of cold and yet surprisingly melodic, at times complex composition. The album featured both grim and clean vocals alongside icy riffs and atmospherics creating a truly dark experience. The lyrics were written and sung in old Norwegian and with an execution compared to the likes of earlier Darkthrone, Immortal or Satyricon, Nattestid was quickly acclaimed as a classic of Norwegian Black Metal. This edition is presented on 180gm vinyl with evocative alternate cover art.

Das Black-Metal-Urgestein DARKMOON WARRIOR entfesselt abermals das Chaos! Die Band aus Brandenburg gehört zu den dienstältesten im deutschen Underground und zu jenen, die authentisch die Flamme des Schwarzmetalls am Lodern halten – wie auch ihr neues Werk »Graveyard Planet« aufs Eindrucksvollste beweist.
