As noted in a previous post regarding “Svartedauen” (1900) by Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, the figure of Pesta – the personification of the Black Death - plays a central role in the series of drawings. She is featured either carrying a rake or a broom. The rake means few will survive and the broom signals total death for the community. In the above image Hoest, from the Norwegian black metal band Taake, draws on this symbolism by Kittelsen to underscore the dark worldview of the band. Above CD: “Helnorsk Svartmetall”

One of the most striking aspects of 'Hordaland Doedskvad' is the vast array of musical styles it encompasses. While Black Metal is often characterized by its raw, aggressive sound, this album demonstrates a level of depth and versatility that is not commonly found within the genre. The musicianship is both melodic and brutal, with the guitar work being particularly noteworthy. Unlike some Black Metal bands that rely heavily on repeating the same four chords, Taake's guitarist showcases their skill and creativity throughout the album.

The musical spectrum displayed in 'Hordaland Doedskvad' is especially impressive considering it comes from the Norwegian Black Metal scene, which has often been criticized for replicating Darkthrone's style. Taake manages to break free from these constraints, offering listeners a fresh and captivating experience.
