Et Hav av Avstand is the eighth full-length studio album from the legendary Norwegian black metal band Taake. Spanning four tracks and running for 42 minutes, the album showcases some of the finest songwriting to date from this epic one-man project. Fierce yet melancholic, vigorously old-school yet undeniably progressive, it retains the unfiltered rawness that defines Hoest’s charismatic sound and musical identity.
Despite the passage of time, Taake remains as vital and relevant as ever. Hoest, who performs every instrument on the album, has infused it with the unmistakable Taake essence while continuing to evolve the project’s sound. This is unmistakably Taake—an intense, immersive work that both surprises and enthralls.
