not much details were provided about the making of intense sixth output [2014] by legendary project of Hoest, except the fact of many guest appearances by certain Norwegian musicians, but otherwise it gives the best opportunity to focus on actual music, which is kept in best traditions of grim, dramatic and trend-avoiding direction that does the loudest and most important talking; regardless of small deviations, enriching the emotional vibe, Taake always kept close to primordial TNBM formula, and this time round it is as never evident - while staying on ferocious side of dynamic performance, seven robust tracks are full of piercing northern harmonies as well, creating catchy, intriguing and apt drama of its own; recent Norwegian clear vinyl edition with A2 sized poster is limited to 750 units
