Kong Vinter is the seventh full-length album by Norwegian black metal band Taake. It was released on 24 November 2017.[1][2][3]
Recording and reception
[edit | edit source]Kong Vinter is Taake's first album in three years, since Stridens hus. It was produced by long-time collaborator Bjoernar Erevik Nilsen and recorded at Conclave Studio in Bergen. The album was received well by Norwegian and international critics.[4][5][6][7][8] Metal Hammer notably praised Hoest and Taake's longevity:
With Gorgoroth now past their prime, Abbath practising his Diamond Dave pose and Enslaved going prog, Taake – or should we say their overlord and sole performer in the studio, Hoest – pretty much remains the last band standing in their native Bergen, seven albums in.
— Olivier Badin, Metal Hammer[6]
