TAAKE REVEALS DETAILS OF SEVENTH FULL-LENGTH ALBUM
Posted: September 27, 2017 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, TAAKE, Uncategorized
Tags: Bergen, Black Metal, Dark Essence Records, Helnorsk Svartmetall, Norway, Norwegian Black Metal, Taake
Nestled within the looming embrace of seven mountains, the rugged, rain-swept coastline of Bjoergvin has spawned many extreme bands and musicians over the years, but none quite as iconic as TAAKE and its formidable founder Hoest, who is now back with a seventh full-length album. Titled "Kong Vinter" (King Winter), the album is set for release on Dark Essence Records on the 24th November in Digipak CD, Digital and Vinyl formats, with the Vinyl available in black, transparent and white versions. All are double 180 gram LPs in gatefold cover. Transparent and white are limited to 1000 each.
Over the years Hoest has steered his creation with unerring accuracy through the mire of Black Metal. He has avoided the pitfalls of either stagnation or over-experimentation, and remained true to the spirit of the traditional Black Metal genre, whilst at the same time breathing fresh life into it.
True to form Hoest has spent three years working on "Kong Vinter", ensuring that the album is imbued with the unique Taake sound, whilst at the same time taking it even further. It is deceptively familiar to the ear, yet it is unpredictable as it winds its way sinuously through a soundscape that only a mother could love. A soundscape underscored by a nasty groove, that at times can seem devilishly playful.
The result is an album that is both progressive and straight forward, with a touch of the devil's own music – rock'n'roll , making it unmistakably Taake. It is, in fact, an illustration as to why, for over two decades, Hoest has succeeded in remaining relevant and at the forefront of the genre.
"Kong Vinter", on which Hoest plays all the instruments himself, was recorded and produced by Bjornar Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES) at his Conclave and Earshot Studios in Bergen. With a running time of 55 minutes, photography by Christopher Zibell and artwork by Tom Korsvold of Coverart, track listing is as follows:
Sverdets Vei
Inntrenger
Huset i Havet
Havet i Huset
Jernhaand
Maanebrent
Fra Bjoergegrend mot Glemselen
On Top (De Press cover, bonus track on the vinyl edition)
"Kong Vinter" is now available to pre-order from the following:

With his exciting stage presence and formidable writing skills, founder and frontman Hoest has made sure that, whilst remaining true to TAAKE's Black Metal roots, he has never allowed the band to become formulaic or mired in the past. His approach has always been to bring something new and original, and, at times, totally unexpected, to TAAKE's signature Helnorsk Svartmetall sound. Which has led the band, and Hoest himself, to be regarded as one of the most respected bands and artists in the Norwegian Black Metal scene.
More information about TAAKE can be found on the band's website at http://taake.svartekunst.no/ or on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/taakeofficial
TAAKE's music can be heard on Bandcamp at https://taake.bandcamp.com
Dark Essence Records label-mates HELHEIM, whose vocalist/bassist V'gandr also happens to play in TAAKE, has been acknowledged for over two decades as a Norse Black Metal band in the truest sense, eschewing the "comic book" aspects that plague so many of the bands claiming to belong in that genre. Through their music and lyrics HELHEIM explore the darker aspects of the North-European pre-Christian culture, and bring a modern interpretation that captures the spirit of the Norse heritage in ways that have eluded both to researchers and archaeologists. The band's ninth full-length album "landawarijaR" was released at the beginning of the year, once again to considerable critical acclaim.

The USA's GOST, is, in founder Baalberith's own words "Directed and commanded by another power. The power of darkness, which many people do not believe exists. The power of the Devil. The power of Satan. The power of Baalberith". LIttle is known about mask-wearing Baalberith, but his music, which has been described by the zine Spin as "bridging extreme metal with the more synthetic tones of darkwave, dance, and classic horror soundtracks", makes an interesting addition to the lineup. GOST's sophomore full-length "Sans Paradisi" was released on Blood Music in 2016

NORWEGIAN BLACK METALLERS TAAKE ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES
Posted: March 22, 2017 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, TAAKE, Uncategorized
Tags: Black Metal, Dark Essence Records, Helnorsk Svartmetall, Hoest, Norwegian Black Metal, Taake
True to their word Norwegian Black Metallers TAAKE are set to return to North America to play some parts of the country they didn't reach on their first US tour in 2016, as well as re-visit some locations.
20 May: El Corazon, Seattle, WA
21 May: Star Theater, Portland, OR
23 May: The Independent, San Francisco, CA
24 May: The Regent, Los Angeles, CA
26 May: Brick by Brick, San Diego, CA
27 May: Club Red, Mesa, AZ
More information regarding supports will be issued in April
With their signature Helnorsk Svartmetall sound, TAAKE have always stayed true to their Black Metal roots , but the band's iconic founder and frontman, Hoest, has refused to allow himself to get bogged down in the formulaic writing that plagues so many bands in the genre today – bands both old and new. His approach has always been one of trying something new, and original, even if it's something totally unexpected, and it is this that has kept TAAKE at the top of their game for over two decades.
With his formidable stage presence, Hoest has acquired a quasi-legendary status amongst fans, and the band's return to the US will hopefully give more of TAAKE's followers a chance to see one of Norway's most admired and influential Black Metal bands.
Aside from the US tour, TAAKE will play four dates in the UK in April, and has already been confirmed for various festival appearances over the coming year.

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS TO RE-RELEASE TAAKE'S CLASSIC "…DOEDSKVAD" ALBUM ON VINYL
Posted: August 25, 2016 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES, TAAKE
Tags: Black Metal, Dark Essence Records, Helnorsk Svartmetall, Hoest, Norway, Norwegian Black Metal, Taake
With the vinyl version long-sold out and much in demand from fans, Dark Essence Records are set to re-release TAAKE's "…Doedskvad" in LP format. The cover art for the LP differs from the original Dark Essence release, and is the one that was used for the limited edition splatter vinyl that was available on Perverted Taste, and which also sold out and is no longer available.
First released in 2005, and acknowledged by many to be a Black Metal masterpiece, "…Doedskvad" forms the final part of TAAKE's classic Trilogy, which includes the "Nattestid" and "Bjoergvin" albums. It was recorded at the legendary Grieghallen Studios, with guest appearances from Nattefrost (CARPATHIAN FOREST), NORDAVIND (ex-CARPATHIAN FOREST) and Taipan (ORCUSTUS).
The new vinyl edition will hit the streets on the 16th September and is available to pre-order now from http://www.darkessencerecords.no/shop/doedskvad-2/ or http://taake.bandcamp.com/album/doedskvad , as well as from the Dark Essence Records North American webshop at https://darkessence.aisamerch.com/item/41647
Tracklisting for "…Doedskvad" as follows:
Hordalands Doedskvad part I
Hordalands Doedskvad part II
Hordalands Doedskvad part III
Hordalands Doedskvad part IV
Hordalands Doedskvad part V
Hordalands Doedskvad part VI
Hordalands Doedskvad part VII
Founded by Hoest, one of the most the most respected frontment in the genre, TAAKE's Helnorsk Svartmetall sound remains true to the traditions of Norwegian Black Metal, but never allows itself to become stale, introducing fresh, and often musically controversial , ideas with each album. The use of a banjo on the track "Myr" on the band's 2011 album "Noregs Vaapen, for example, initially caused consternation amongst some of the diehard Black Metal fans, but is now acknowledged as an eccentric stroke of genius, and is one of the most anticipated songs at TAAKE concerts.
Following a string of festival appearances this summer, and with two North American tours behind them, TAAKE will hit the road in Europe during December for a series of dates with Niklas Kvarforth's SHINING. With these two dynamic and high profile frontmen taking to the stage on the same bill, the tour is understandably much anticipated by fans. Dates will be announced shortly.

DETAILS OF NEW TAAKE ALBUM REVEALED AND NEW TRACK DEBUTED
Posted: October 22, 2014 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, TAAKE
Tags: Black Metal, Helnorsk Svartmetall, Hoest
With the traditional three year wait between TAAKE albums now over, Dark Essence Records has today announced the first details of what will be the iconic Norwegian band's sixth full-length album. Titled "Stridens hus", the seven-track album is set for release on the 8th December world-wide, with the exception of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where the album will appear on the 12th of the month . The label has also debuted the track "Det fins en Prins" from "Stridens hus" and it can be heard below and at https://soundcloud.com/dark-essence-records/taake-det-fins-en-prins
"Stridens hus" is recorded and produced by Bjornar Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES) at his Conclave and Earshot Studios in Bergen. As with all TAAKE albums, frontman and founder Hoest plays all the instruments himself, but this time members of the TAAKE live band have also contributed to the recording. Album artwork from a photo by Nekrographie. Track Listing as follows:
1. Gamle Norig
2. Orm
3. Det fins en Prins
4. Stank
5. En Sang til Sand om Ildebrann
6. Kongsgaard bestaar
7. Vinger
With a career spanning over two decades, Hoest has always remained faithful to his trademark Helnorsk Svartmetall sound, but he has never allowed the grass to grow under his feet, and, with each release, he has breathed new life into an often stale and derivative genre; his unique and innovative twists ensuring that Black Metal still remains fresh and relevant today. And "Stridens hus" is no exception. But the whole is without a doubt unmistakably Hoest's TAAKE: varied, intense, unique and unpredictable.
TAAKE is currently in the middle of the Kulde Tour which will end on the 26th October. Other confirmed upcoming shows as follows:
22 Oct: Barrak Music Club, Ostrava, CZ
23 Oct: F-Haus, Jena, DE

Juventus have welcomed Aaron Ramsey to Turin for their final home game of the Serie A season against Atalanta.
The Arsenal man has already agreed to move to join the Italian giants, and will switch allegiances following the end of the current campaign.
With his season curtailed early due to injury, Ramsey featured as a guest of Juve as they prepared to finish their title-winning season off on a high.

Shio Review
Adrian Burrows 04/06/18 1 Comment
Don't let Shio's delicate and ethereal aesthetics fool you, this game is a hardcore platforming fans' naughty dream. It's appropriate, considering the game takes place within the protagonist's sleepy visions. Initially created – astonishingly – by just one man, before being polished up and released by Coconut Island Games, Shio manages to not only be a comprehensive 2D platformer, providing extremely fluid action, but also has time to provide several innovations in the genre as well.
In a plot that echo's Christopher Nolan's 2010 classic 'Inception', Shio sees the player character – a mysterious masked warrior – descend further and further into his dreams. The plot is without doubt the weakest aspect of Shio, being incomprehensible enough to be redundant. Its world setting and characters attempt deep philosophical thoughts and theories, but the result is a mess and is best ignored instead Focus on the gameplay instead, as this is a very challenging game. In fact, it's so difficult that it will probably make you cry. And not in a 'one tear gently rolling down a cheek' Hollywood way either, I'm talking full on snot-filled sobbing here.
Things are initially simple enough, as all the player must do is navigate either horizontally or vertically from one side of the platforming arena to the other. Controls are limited to running left and right and a basic jump, with an additional ability of the warrior being able to utilize floating Chinese lanterns to provide a 'double jump' ability. In a break from most other modern games, that's it. No further abilities are conferred to the warrior, so it's instead up to the player to develop their own skills and it is the seemingly way in which Coconut Island Games ramp up the difficulty, using standard platforming tropes in entirely new ways, that makes this prospect so compelling.
One aspect of Shio's success is its fast, fluid and precise controls. Vital in a platformer, it is an aspect that's often overlooked, resulting in player frustration as a case of premature death is caused through no fault of their own. Shio avoids this through having its admittedly limited controls be incredibly well implemented. Without this, the dance of death the developer asks of the player, as they leap through buzz saws, flame balls and lava walls with the smallest of margins for error, would results in many controllers being hurled across the room with a sense of hopelessness. I mean, many controllers will still be smashed against the floor – I know mine was – but it won't be the games' fault, it will be all yours. This sense of frustration is no doubt heightened by the instant death that occurs upon contact with any hazard. Our warrior friend isn't hardy in the slightest; even contact with leaves will see him explode in blue light.
It's all worth it though, as that moment of elation when you finally manage to traverse a particularly difficult assault course requiring near perfect timing, is second to none. These assault courses are stunning peices of design, introducing new concepts, a wind-tunnel here, a broken lantern there, before combining them to brilliant effect.
The developer helps mitigate further frustrations through some clever innovations. Prior to each bite size platforming section, the game will provide you with an optional map of the obstacles ahead of you. Though there's still trial and error to get to the end, this clever addition removes some of a mystery of what's up ahead. On the easier difficulty settings there are plenty of check points and each self contained assault course takes no more than sixty seconds on a successful run. If you do die, you are instantly respawned at the last check point with no frustrating death animations or loading times to break up the action and slow you down. Coconut Island Games know that you'll be failing a lot before finally being successful, so why make that process arduous when it need not be?
Extra incentive is provided to revisit each of the many courses, as they are all timed against a faceless antagonist. Trying to figure out how to beat some of these insanely fast times is all part of the fun/failure-fuelled rage, providing an element of replayability that's otherwise missing in Shio's brief run time. In another startling example of simple innovation, you can revisit any checkpoint in the game instantly by donning the warrior's wooden mask with a quick tap of R2. There's lengthy loading times or awkward menus to navigate, the quick tap of a button will send you to any previously visited point within the game.
Despite these attempts to ease player frustration and to make the gameplay 'fair', this is still an incredibly challenging experience. The game also features a number several intense difficulty spikes. What the game asks of you is often almost incomprehensible, and having to make a steep vertical ascent only to fail at the last hurdle, fall to the bottom and begin again is particularly heart breaking.
Be prepared to have to persist in a way not often seen in videogames in 2018. Some sections, despite only taking 30 seconds to complete on a perfect run, took me forty or fifty attempts to finally achieve. Whether or not this idea appeals to you should tell you all you need to know about whether or not Shio is the game for you.
What's Good:
It's so challenging you'll love it
Impecable design of platforming sections
Several small innovations
Very addictive
What's Bad:
It's so difficult you'll hate it
Lots of difficulty spikes
Story is a mess
Very brief in length
Shio is not a game for the faint of heart. Tremendously challenging, it truly will push you to the limit of your videogame abilities. The stunning level design, clear visuals and wonderfully tight controls all ensure that the game is fair, but that won't be enough to stop player frustration from ultimately setting in. Played in short sittings this is a taught, tight and compelling experience. Just have an extra controller nearby, you'll need it to replace the one you just threw out the window.

Melbourne shared solar + storage pilot wins state grant
By Sophie Vorrath August 28, 2018 Battery/Storage, Software/Gadgets, Solar 0 Comments
A Melbourne pilot project that aims to install shared solar and battery storage systems in three multi-tenanted buildings has won nearly $1 million in grant funding from the Victorian government.
State energy minister Lily D'Ambrosio announced the $980,000 grant for the Ovida Community Energy Hub project on Monday, as part of her government's Microgrid Demonstration Initiative, launched in 2017.
The consortium behind the $2 million project includes the relatively new energy market player Ovida, shared solar start-up Allume Energy, distribution company Jemena, RMIT and the Moreland Energy Foundation.
The project will install solar PV and battery systems in three as-yet unnamed multi-tenanted commercial and residential buildings, to help cut energy costs for around 650 customers – all up it is expected to generate 5000kWh of renewable energy and support 11,000kWh of energy storage.
Allume Energy CEO Cameron Knox at the Highett shared solar install.
The project will, presumably, use the energy sharing technology of Allume, which earlier this year switched on its first commercial shared solar system, at a mixed residential and retail building in the Melbourne Bayside suburb of Highett.
As we reported here, that 7.2kW system is delivering cheap PV power to five apartments, a baker, a hair salon, and an occupational therapist, using Allume's mix of software and hardware, called SOLSHARE.
The technology – essentially contained within a small box – is designed to work within the building's existing metering infrastructure, or "behind the meter," to allow solar to be distributed and billed to individual apartments.
Allume worked with Ovida on that project, too, as financial backers with benefits – Ovida also happen to have obtained a electricity retail exemption from the Australian Energy Regulator for all states and territories except Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Their involvement allowed the rooftop PV system to be installed at no upfront cost through a 10-year "roof licence" with the landlord or the owners corporation.
Allume then charges the tenants for the solar electricity on a "pay for the power, and not the panels" basis, through a power purchase agreement, at a locked-in rate of 30 per cent less than the retail electricity price.
"Traditionally solar arrangements in multi-tenanted apartment blocks have been all or nothing – meaning all residents had to invest in and use the system for it to work," said Ovida's Paul Adams, in comments this week about the new Melbourne project.
"We know this can be a challenge because apartment blocks often include long-term residents, owners, and short-term occupants who each have different energy needs and expectations.
Adams said the new Melbourne trial was also aimed at tackling energy affordability, by providing the panels, battery and infrastructure to customers with no up-front costs.
"This removes inequality in the market place and by trialling the microgrid technology, we can explore how companies can viably supply such solutions – again, with no financial commitment required from homeowners," he said.
In a statement on LinkedIn, Allume Energy said it was proud to be a part of the team effort, which would "demonstrate the application of microgrids in multi-tenanted buildings such as apartments and shopping centres."
As we have reported on One Step, the push to extend the benefits of rooftop solar to those without the means – or the roof – to install it themselves is quickly giving rise to a new breed of start-ups –
SunTenants, Allume, Enova, and Power Ledger, to name a few.
Governments are also stepping into the breach, with a particular focus on extending access to solar and other energy saving technologies to rentals and lower income households.
The Victorian government's Microgrid Demonstration Initiative grant program is providing $10 million to support eight state-wide microgrid projects totaling over $37 million in value.
The idea is to give small networks of electricity users a local supply of cheap and reliable power that can function independently of the electricity grid, using renewable energy as the primary generation source.
Separately, the government last week launched a $3 million grant program to support the development of a renewables based microgrid project in the Latrobe Valley.
"Microgrid projects are part of our plan to drive down energy prices, reduce emissions and create a pipeline of investment in renewable energy," D"Ambrosio said on Monday, in comments about the Ovida project.
"This initiative will allow more households and businesses in multi-tenanted buildings to take control of their energy bills."
The Victorian Greens, meanwhile, have launched their own renter's solar power policy, ahead of the November state election, giving tenants of private and public housing, and apartment owners, access to solar gardens.

We list the most relevant Culinary Schools in Searsport ME. Job growth shows an anticipated 5% growth.
From a personal standpoint, culinary schools are amazing for the development of an individual. An individual's ability to create a dish not only offers self-rewarding benefits, but it also brings great delight to those around you.
Cooks generally speaking must have physical strength, manual dexterity and a good sense of taste and smell. They must have the ability to function like a member of the team. Chefs as well as head cooks must have the creativity to produce recipes. They need to be confident leaders and have good communication and time management abilities.


Having been sent from the country to work in Melbourne in 1941, local resident Alex Robertson has seen a few changes!
The lucid 90-year-old is still active in business and plans to be around for a while yet.
"Mum lived 'til 97 and dad died at 94 so I'm confident of a few more years," he grinned.
Having sold real estate for decades, Alex knows Melbourne better than most and loves it even more.
He sold the first apartment in the Spring St block where he lives about 40 years ago. Four years later, he bought his home and hasn't tired of his view across the Treasury Gardens and out to the Dandenongs.
Mr Robertson's commercial real estate business was for a time the hottest thing in town.
Mr Robertson has long been a "player" in the Melbourne scene and counts among his contemporaries captains of industry and knights of the realm. He was awarded an Order of Australia in 2016 for community service, particularly fundraising for the Northern Hospital.
He says his greatest contribution to Melbourne has been successfully championing to local and state governments the notion of the city as a tourist destination.
"The message was that Melbourne needed to be open for tourism," he said.
The rise in visitation to Melbourne and the dominance of hospitality within the CBD are just two of the changes he has experienced as a CBD resident.
He said when he arrived in Melbourne in the 1940s, the city was divided into precincts, largely based on business type.
"You had customs agents and ships provedores in King St. The Western Market was still going. In fact, the Eastern Market was too. If it was still going, it would be the greatest tourist attraction in Melbourne," he said.
Mr Robertson recalls seeing General Douglas Macarthur outside the former Menzies Hotel during WWII.
He said there once were nine pubs and 10 furniture stores in Bourke St alone.
In the here and now, Mr Robertson sees the top end of Bourke St as a "little village" and his building as a "vertical street". But beyond that, he does not see a lot of "community" in the CBD.
He said he was initially attracted to CBD living because of its centrality and its ability to avoid commuting and choking traffic.
"It's about proximity to restaurants, galleries and theatres and all that the capital city can provide," he said.
But he is concerned about the seemingly unlimited growth in the city with a disproportionate investment in infrastructure.
He said city dwellers living in confined, tiny apartments were now using local cafes to escape and find community.
"How else do you get to know your neighbours?" he asked.
But despite these concerns, the heart of the optimistic farm boy who came to the big city with the ambition to become an auctioneer still beats strongly.
"I was a dreamer – a poor student – so mum pulled me out of school at 15," he said.
Mr Robertson's experience proves that dreams can come true.
