The past few years, Taake has been more active than ever with tours around the world and a steady live line-up. The fifth studio album, Noregs Vaapen, sees the band refine their True Norwegian Black Metal sound, but also take a step further and include some new elements. The album is filled with Hoests trademark riffs, melodies and vocals, but also includes more unpredictable parts more blacknroll grooves, ice cold mellotrons, and white trash banjo. This time, Hoest has invited his live line-up, consisting of Thurzur, Vgandr, Aindiachai and Gjermund to contribute on some songs, and also have guest appearances from people like Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone), Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Demonaz (Immortal), Bjrnar Nilsen (Vulture Industries) and Skagg (Gaahlskagg, Deathcult). Hoest himself is behind all music, lyrics, instruments and vocals as usual. With its intense, unique, Norwegian and otherworldly sound, Taake delivers their most diverse and unique album to this date! This is the perfect weapon for True Norwegian Black Metal.
