“Stridens hus”, the sixth album from Taake, is now available for the first time on 180 gram white vinyl! Both versions come with the original poster and each is limited to 750 copies. "Stridens hus" took the unique Taake sound and developed it further. Still true to the spirit of the old Norwegian Black Metal, Hoest breathed new life into the genre by introducing different elements that ensured the sound remained fresh and relevant. However, this is still unmistakably Taake and, as always, we're treated to a varied album with intense, unique and unpredictable dynamics.
Once again, Hoest played all the instruments himself, but this time the Taake live band has contributed to the recording, alongside producer Bjørnar E. Nilsen.
Now in their 37th year of blasphemous brutality, Finnish Black Metal iconoclasts ARCHGOAT remain one of the most single-minded and relentlessly visceral bands in extreme music.
Wampyric Rites is evoked from his deep sleep in the anno MMXIX by three ghostly entities inside the desolate dungeons covered by the dust of time and drinking from the chalice the ecstasy of the ancient spirit of Black Metal and Old School Dungeon Synth resulting in his first work called Demo I.
