New Release of Old Music from TAAKE!

I LOVE me some old school Taake, and at the risk of sounding too cool for school, when it comes to this guy, his older music is just better.  What can I say, his more recent stuff started to sound run of the mill.   But I digress, because overall I a a big fan and I still play his self-titled album often.

Well, for us super cool black metal snobs, it seems that Hoest will being taking Taake back to their roots in celebration of  "20 years of staying true to his musical identity" by releasing a 20-song, 2 CD collection of Taake rarities.  The anniversary album will be released on Dark Essence Records on March 4th and will coincide with a planned European tour which "will herald the start of a year celebrating Taake's unique contribution to Norwegian black metal." (as you can see he is very modest).

Titled Gravkamre, Kroner Og Troner (AKA Burial Chambers, Crowns And Thrones), the release will not only feature exclusive new tracks, but also rare and previously unreleased material as well as alternative versions and recordings that have, until now, only been available on vinyl.

Check out "Et Pust Av Oeyne", a track from the album below.
