For me Taake has reinvented Black Metal and rekindled the old flames from the early 90's with a devastating new agenda.

You can say goodbye to verse/chorus/verse structure and be baffled and amazed at what Host can conjour. Just when you think you know whats coming; Blam! A totally unexpected key, tempo or riff change smacks you in the face like a frozen kipper.

All the way through this album, there are riffs all over the place, wierd little bits of singing along with the guitar and downright strange arrangements. Blastbeats, slowbeats, audible bass lines and catchy melodies. Sounds a bit dodgy the word melody and I hate associating it with Black Metal but that's essentially what drives the songs here. Old school sounding riffs from the majestic to the raw, rocking riffs that really have no place but oddly they work....Taake always keeps you guessing.

Personally I think this album only has one weak point, Part IV is weaker that the other tunes on the menu. If it was as good as the other songs this would be a perfect album.

Aside from that 'blip' this album is right up there on Waffen's BM rostrum with Shadowthrone and Opus Nocturne. 9.5/10
