Love it when black metal clicks for people. It takes time but nothing else rides that line of magic, melancholy, violence, hatred and fury in the same way.
the riff at 7:27 still to this day imo is the most melodic delicious atmospheric riff in Black Metal. Top 3 at least and honestly Taake might have the other two lol
All in all probably my favorite black metal band. Love how melodic and atmospheric they are, all while maintaining tons of energy and immediacy. Especially in those first 3 albums they released; all of which are modern masterpieces IMO. It's all pretty much 1 guy (goes by the name 'Hoest' and is seen on all of the album covers) that writes and records all the instruments and vocals and everything, but he gets a bunch of session musicians to go on tour with him. Guy is a total badass and IMO he hasn't made a single bad album since he started back in the 90s.
That huge smile on your face at the end of this track, to me, completely reflects everything that makes black metal so wonderful, and while they may not be the most revered-as-classic band out there, I do think Taake, especially on those first three albums, stand as the absolute pinnacle of the genre. A wonderfully romantic mix of triumph, power, sorrow, and grief that can't really be found anywhere else in music.
(I think their first album is even better, mostly because the guy he had as session drummer, bassist, and backing vocals brought a little extra magic. This third album is just as good in the songwriting department, though. For newcomers to the band or black metal in general, the first track on the debut, "Vid I" is a great starting point, but since you've already listened to a bunch of black metal and this song, maybe you could go straight to the majestic "Vid VII".)
Probably late to the party here, but it's pronounced "T[eau]ke" (with vowel as in 'John'), and the song is Hordaland (county in Norway) Doedskvad (meaning 'poem of death'), with the "oe" being an old (19th century) way of writing the letter Ø (pronounced like a French 'eu', as in 'Mr. Burns'). Great band from Bergen, good friend with the bass player Ørjan (who also plays in Helheim). The lyrics are a bit out there though.
Really great reaction! The whole album is immaculate on vinyl, you have to hear the other songs they all have really beautiful moments, especially the chorus guitar patterns of part two. You’re the only one I’ve found that has reacted to this album, please do more! Subscribed for this video✨
So glad to see you getting on the Black Metal Train. Once caught into it, it's a never-ending journey. You are cursed ;) Few 'Classics' recommendations below. Immortal - Withstand the Fall of Time Dissection - Night’s Blood Satyricon - Mother North [original version) Mayhem - Freezing Moon Marduk - Nightwing Emperor - The Loss and Curse of Reverence Diabolical Masquerade - The Zkeleton Keyz to the Dead (Katatonia's Guitarist project back in the days)
Taake is one of the greatest and unique BM bands and I love when people not familiar with the genre JUST GET IT, as you do. You describe what the music communicates emotionally just perfectly, too! In fact, I grew up with this music and couldn't have put it into any more succinct words. What I'm saying is an outsider's perspective is very refreshing to hear. By the way, I can tell you're hooked by the magic now, enjoy!
the famous guitar riffs that snorre blackthorn rush pioneered. as a canadian i traveled alone to norway in 2018 to visit and also because i love black metal so much. i have been to most of the famous black metal places in norway. i rented a car and drove 3500km across norway. i have been to 35 countries and norway is by far the most beautiful place i have ever seen. it is majestic. and it is not a cliché or a rumour, yes norwegians are tall asf. at 5,9 many girls were my height. i have had some pretty cool discussions with many people over there. norwegians are very nice, but they are not talkative like me. my french canadian latin blood is a bit too hot for them ah ah. norway is awesome. but holy shit it is expensive. it cost me 15k for a month. a minuscule hotel room will cost you 350-to 400 bucks in oslo and they d'ont have ac nowhere even if it is 33 celcius in july. in stavanger it was 16 celcius. temperature is very good in the fjords. i met a girl at the hotel in stavanger, holy hell she was hot and nice.
Taake are masters of their own, they have really really good material overall, and even some good covers of songs of other bands... It's been a while since I listened to anything of theirs, but I'm sure someone in the comments will recommend another great song, they have legit masterpieces. If you want to keep going in the direction of Atmospheric Black Metal you could try with Windir - Todeswaltz, they have cool elements of folk too, a band somewhat similar to Taake. As for evil.... I shouldn't but I'm gonna recommend Dark Throne - Crossing The Triangle Of Flames. I think there's nothing more raw, cold, dark, and evil than this. It's a hard pill to swallow though, so keeo in mind it won't appeal at first glance.
Great choice, I think Taake is probably the best black metal band, have to agree with Stars Die's comment. Up there with Sepultura, Death, Meshuggah, Vektor and Spastic Ink for me in terms of bands that transcend metal.
More Taake songs: Myr is a good one. That's got an unexpected twist to it. I won't give it away. Taake's cover of Emperor's I am the Black Wizards is excellent. Nordbundet. The entire Hordalands Doedskvad album. For starters........
I love your grin throughout this. It's kinda weird seeing the Twitter mob cancel these guys for being "edgy" or "Nazi" - meanwhile you have music lovers from all over the world going "huh?" Metal unites. Twitter does not.
Yeah man, definitely shout out to your Patron kyle for this pick! :P I've been listening this shit forever and I'm so fucking glad you have reached it too! And it's even more cool, that you feel it! :P It's pretty much as you said, that it's hard to reach people to like or even understand this kinda stuff, if they don't have anything to do with it...! I could say about you after seeing your reactions for some time now with other kinda metal, that it's very possible you to embrace this kinda music and I'm so damn glad that you do so! :P You asked about other Taake songs, so I can add one song per album here (I will add links too, which should be the ones you listen/react, so you don't get so much shit from viewers by picking crappy versions! ;) :D I go album after album in a chronological order (minus the 3rd album, which is this one you just reacted!) So this is kinda, if you'd had to hear only one song per album, so these would be my choises to you! ;) Nattestid ser porten vid VII (czcams.com/video/L1sWywOYa_I/video.html) Over Bjoergvin graater himmerik VI (czcams.com/video/7mo_kFG4K9o/video.html) Motpol (czcams.com/video/AmgDoWZWFwo/video.html) Nordbundet (czcams.com/video/swcEUTd16Go/video.html) Det fins en Prins (czcams.com/video/4WeOy28ahvw/video.html) Sverdets Vei (czcams.com/video/qUT-YzDOHac/video.html) Ubeseiret (czcams.com/video/hA0SHqTT6Ps/video.html) PS. songs "Motpol" and "Nordbundet" aren't actually the album versions, but from the ep called "Kulde". I choosed those, because they're recorded live with the band in their rehearsal place/studio and has more "live" feel in it and still the sound is great and not like "crappy live sound"! The "Ubeseiret" song is one of the latest tracks of the band released as a single and a split and I think it's so strange and groovy, and still black metal over all, so I believe you enjoy it too! ;) Feel free to listen these songs wether you react to them online or by yourself, I believe it's gointo be a good treat to you for sure! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the Transilvanian Hunger reaction as well! :P I'm pretty sure they recorded the instruments separately, eventhough it sounded like everything is recorded at the same time with one take with a casette player! :D They really concentrated to the sound and the feel, that it's cold and eerie and devastating but still you can catch the song with no problem! And that's why the whole music style exploded everywhere back when it was released! Kinda funny, that their first album was like death metal, since they're mainly known as this black metal band and transilvanian hunder is their most know song! If you want to listen their first album, I recommend to take this track (czcams.com/video/QAEh3Jbr7Sk/video.html) as an example, how they were, before they turned to that, what you just listened! ;) Yeah, take care, I will wait new reactions for you for sure! Have a blast one! ;)
As a metalhead, I've few suggestions for you and here we go.. I recommend for you to listen to Immortal, and especially these albums: Diabolical Fullmoon Mystcisicm, Pure Holocaust, At the Heart of Winter and Sons of Northern Darkness. But actually every album from Immortal is good! But those are my favourites🤘🤘🤘 And what about Taake, it's really really good, atmospheric and crazy stuff I like it🤘🤘🤘
Norwegian bm is great, but wait 'till you get to some good Finnish stuff like Horna, Behexen, Barathrum, Ajattara and Azaghal. They are some of the best classic bands we have. Some of the newer bands like Hiidenhauta and Paara are amazing too!
I'LL SECOND THAT BIG FUCKING TIME. TWO OF MY FAVORITES. IF ONLY I COULD'VD SEEN THEM LIVE BACK IN THE DAY...........AT LEAST I'VE GOT THEIR LIVE DVDS.........
The vinyl I have of this record has an alternate album cover of him giving the most black metal thumbs down ever.. it was the album that introduced me to black metal when I was in high school and it continues to be the first album I recommend to others looking to get into the general genre
Great video 👍 hey can you react to any of these songs? DEVILISH TRIO - SONS OF THE SERPENT DEVILISH TRIO - WALK WHEN IT RAINS DEVILISH TRIO - FEED YOUR HEAD DEVILISH TRIO - TAKE A LOOK AROUND DEVILISH TRIO - DECISIONS OF TORMENT DEVILISH TRIO - DARK SPACE DEVILISH TRIO - RITUAL DEVILISH TRIO - CONFLICT IS IMMINENT

@@fadedwithog For real, Nattens Madrigal is also full of those sorts of parts.
"Let's put a happy little instrumental here....there" -Taake
Taake is an ode to the golden age of Kvlt. Hail.
This whole album shreds, each song gets better as the album goes on
All in all probably my favorite black metal band.
Love how melodic and atmospheric they are, all while maintaining tons of energy and immediacy. Especially in those first 3 albums they released; all of which are modern masterpieces IMO.

And they sound amazing live, never seen a bad performance from TAAKE!

Не знаю классика Taake или нет, но слушал многие ранние коллективы, но именно благодаря Taake я вкусил суть Black Metal

This song is a masterpiece. So unique.
woah never heard this track from Taake before..the ending was beautiful..riffs for days
Even though it's his most popular song lol
Not new to black metal and I love Taake! Takes my whole body and soul for a trip. And gives me so much extra strength at the gym! 😂
Taake
So glad to see you getting on the Black Metal Train. Once caught into it, it's a never-ending journey. You are cursed ;) Few 'Classics' recommendations below.
Immortal - Withstand the Fall of Time
Dissection - Night’s Blood
Satyricon - Mother North [original version)
Mayhem - Freezing Moon
Marduk - Nightwing
Emperor - The Loss and Curse of Reverence
Diabolical Masquerade - The Zkeleton Keyz to the Dead (Katatonia's Guitarist project back in the days)
Listen to the entire album beginning to end, it's a masterpiece. Taake fucking rules 🤘
respect for covering Taake
Taake is one of the greatest and unique BM bands and I love when people not familiar with the genre JUST GET IT, as you do. You describe what the music communicates emotionally just perfectly, too!

This is crude true black metal 😈🤘🍻😎

Thank you for listening and promoting music from my city man, infernal hails from Norway !! UGH !!!
Your reaction is spot on, loved how you understood the different lines in this song and the raw power
Next track kicks right in!
One of my favorite records. Easy.
You really should do some Burzum.
Taake are masters of their own, they have really really good material overall, and even some good covers of songs of other bands...
It's been a while since I listened to anything of theirs, but I'm sure someone in the comments will recommend another great song, they have legit masterpieces.
If you want to keep going in the direction of Atmospheric Black Metal you could try with Windir - Todeswaltz, they have cool elements of folk too, a band somewhat similar to Taake.
As for evil.... I shouldn't but I'm gonna recommend Dark Throne - Crossing The Triangle Of Flames. I think there's nothing more raw, cold, dark, and evil than this. It's a hard pill to swallow though, so keeo in mind it won't appeal at first glance.
They’re The Childhood of Forgot Past
Easily one of my favorite black metal bands. Myr is another track you should check out off of the "Noregs Vaapen". It's got a tasty surprise for you!
That whole album is really good
Just found your channel and I'm loving it. Easily some of the best reaction videos I've seen.
Great choice, I think Taake is probably the best black metal band, have to agree with Stars Die's comment. Up there with Sepultura, Death, Meshuggah, Vektor and Spastic Ink for me in terms of bands that transcend metal.
Taake
More Taake songs: Myr is a good one. That's got an unexpected twist to it. I won't give it away. Taake's cover of Emperor's I am the Black Wizards is excellent. Nordbundet. The entire Hordalands Doedskvad album. For starters........
I make electronic trax..nothing inspires me more than BM as far as my melodies are concerned.
Please react to Windir next. "Arntor, ein Windir", "Journey to the end" or "Saknet" for example.
I love your grin throughout this.
It's kinda weird seeing the Twitter mob cancel these guys for being "edgy" or "Nazi" - meanwhile you have music lovers from all over the world going "huh?"
Metal unites. Twitter does not.
Incredible album.

black metal has best atmospheres in metal 🔥🖤🔥🖤
As a metalhead, I've few suggestions for you and here we go.. I recommend for you to listen to Immortal, and especially these albums: Diabolical Fullmoon Mystcisicm, Pure Holocaust, At the Heart of Winter and Sons of Northern Darkness. But actually every album from Immortal is good! But those are my favourites🤘🤘🤘
And what about Taake, it's really really good, atmospheric and crazy stuff I like it🤘🤘🤘
DFM is such a good album by Immortal, the drumming slaps in that album
I like you:)
The "Clean" screms in the back are from Nattefrost of Capathian Forest 😁🤘
Some good Blackmetal to react to:
Watain - Malfeitor
Marduk - Dreams of blood and iron
Taake - III
Burzum - Dunkelheit
Carpathian Forrest is the rawest meanest nastiest black metal I've heard.Check it out🖤🤘✌
Norwegian bm is great, but wait 'till you get to some good Finnish stuff like Horna, Behexen, Barathrum, Ajattara and Azaghal. They are some of the best classic bands we have. Some of the newer bands like Hiidenhauta and Paara are amazing too!
Dont forget noenum!
Check Dissection and Emperor two great bands
I'LL SECOND THAT BIG FUCKING TIME. TWO OF MY FAVORITES. IF ONLY I COULD'VD SEEN THEM LIVE BACK IN THE DAY...........AT LEAST I'VE GOT THEIR LIVE DVDS.........
You really should react to Zeal and Ardor someday, it's a different type of black metal
Checkout out Myr by Taake. Some Banjo black metal.
The vinyl I have of this record has an alternate album cover of him giving the most black metal thumbs down ever.. it was the album that introduced me to black metal when I was in high school and it continues to be the first album I recommend to others looking to get into the general genre
Or try Ages, with At the behest of reasons. Im my opinion, one of the absolut greatest of the new age Black Metal. Absolut fantastic song.
You SHOULD check "satyricon walk the path of sorrow"
You should definitely react to" In Fragments" new single "Katharsis". Hard stuff 😉!
"IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT" CHECK THEM OUT..
You should try DJEVEL!! Amazing band.
Taake Myr. Give it a try. Also, Peste Noire french BM.
Also try akhlys, Belphegor, nightbringer, mirrorthrone, netherbird, septicflesh, rotting christ, fleshgod apocalypse
Taake = TOE-keh
As far as artists to check out, I would recommend Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Heilung, Blowfly, jpegmafia, Saor, Rotting Christ...
You should really try out Mørk Gryning with their song fältherren. That should catch you.
Uada
Mgla
Groza
Try this..
You should keep listening further into the next one
🇧🇷🔥🤟
Esse som é fudido boa escolha
