Upcoming album from Taake with a debuted track to listen to

Many black metal fans are perhaps looking forward to listening to a new album of “helnorsk svartmetall” by Taake. May be some of them know that the albums of Hoest's iconic band from Bergen come out  every third year, so after Norges vaapen released in 2011, a new album by Taake was eagerly awaited this year. The new album will be no exception to this rule and will be released by the end of 2014: according to a statement of Patricia Thomas Band Management, Stridens hus, so the new album by Taake is titled, will be released on December 8 worldwide with the exception of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where it will be released on the 12th of the same month through Dark Essence Records.
Stridens hus, whose title means 'Struggle Home', will contain seven songs as usual, another rule of Taake; it was recorded and produced by Bjørnar Nilsen of Norwegian avant-gard black metal band Vulture Industries at his Conclave Studios in Bergen. As usual, Hoest played all the instruments himself, but this time members of Taake live band also contributed to the recording. According to the above mentioned statement, while remaining faithful to Taake's trademark “helnorsk svartmetall”, Stridens hus shows influences from groove rock and punk. A song from the album has however been debuted by Dark Essence, and you can listen to it below.

Tracklist:
1. Gamle Norig
2. Orm
3. Det fins en prins
4. Stank
5. En sang til sand om Ildebrann
6. Kongsgaard bestaar
7. Vinger
