Taake - Nattestid Ser Porten Vid

This may actually be the last truly great norwegian bm album ever released. I can't really think of any later albums that qualify I think. This is a masterpiece though, especially the first and last track.

Tro og frender
til krikegaard baeres
vond tid venter naer
paa dem som stirret seg blinde
FOR Å SE GUD!

This is so amazing I'm like whoa! And there are boobs on the cover!
 
i really enjoy the mid-'90s gothenburg sound in general, and it's actually primarily at the gates' fault that it went to shit. you can instantly date any of the more tasteful stuff as being prior to (or alongside) SLAUGHTER OF THE SOUL and THE GALLERY, it's a shame it didn't generally continue on after that even in the underground, 'twas just one of those flash in the pan crazes.
There's no way that you could lump in The Gallery and Slaughter of the Soul together.
 
Massive album, kind of a surprise really. I know sludge is far from a favorite here but this album is nasty... and fuck the album art is gorgeous.
