DESCRIPTION
2002'S SECOND FULL-LENGTH OFFERING OF MASTERFULLY CRAFTED TRUE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL. PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD.
In 1993, Taake mastermind Hoest formed the band under the name Thule, releasing two demos; 'Der Vinterstormene Raste' in 1993 & 1994's 'Omfavnet Av Svarte Vinger'. Shortly afterwards, Thule became Taake (meaning 'Fog' in English), a name which reflected the band's music & the area where Hoest was from; the mountains of Bergen, Norway.
The second album from Taake, 'Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmerik (Heaven Cries over Bjoergvin)', was released in 2002. As with the 1999 debut, 'Nattestid.', songs were sung in old Norwegian. The album was again recorded at Grieghallen Studios (Immortal, Mayhem, Gorgoroth) with Pytten, with Hoest bringing in a full band for the recording: C. Corax on Guitars, Keridwen on bass & Mutt (Gaahlskagg, Trelldom) on drums.
'Bjoergvin' projects a similarly cold & raw feeling to the earlier black metal releases of fellow countrymen Darkthrone & Satyricon. The songs are injected with all manner of gloriously melodic, dark & twisted passages, whilst also introducing piano sections & keyboard experimentation to deepen the unsettling atmosphere prevalent throughout.
