Release: 2 July 2021
Taake is back with a collection of all their singles which never really fitted into any album and thus was released on different labels together with Whoredom Rife,Helheim & Deathcult over 3 different split 10".
"Avvik" translates to anomaly or deviation and is a fitting title for the release of these tracks.
There are cover tracks of Darkthrone's Ravnajuv here and Dr Mikannibal of SIGH did the honour of adding her saxophone on a slightly longer version of the Sisters Of Mercy cover "Heartland".
Both covers sound good and are in the familiar Taake style.
Taake has developed over the years in a good direction but still kept to the core basics and that is quite impressive I'd say.
All tracks are good in their own way and I see no reason to avoid "Avvik" if you are a black metal fan or just want to own all the tracks on one album.
The ingredients for Taake's music seems to be good and melodic melodies mixed with grim harshness.
Let's not forget the acoustic version of the classic track "Nattestid Ser Porten Vid I" which is done by their live guitarist Gjermund and is exclusive for this release and it's a very enjoyable and mellow cover which brings some nostalgia to mind.
This is surely something for collectors or just fans of good black metal as said.
Love it or hate it, I still enjoy Taake very much and the path they have taken.
The promo letter says that "Avvik" closes once chapter for Taake and opens a new one, this sounds very interesting as one never knows what these guys are up to.
