“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.
Compact disk comes with a bonus disk featuring alternative versions of the album tracks with Cryptic Winter (Judas Iscariot etc.) on drums along with unreleased material.
