Taake - Myr (2011)

[HallwaysOfAlways]

Hoest gets it.

[Seanus32]

I twang my own banjo whilst listening to this :) :)

[Tekkenfreek234]

There was a bit on The Man Show once where Jimmy and Adam tried to join Metallica and brought banjos with them instead of guitars. Maybe they were on to something...

[BobbyOxygen]

ahahaaha banjo comes out of fucking nowhere

[mermeladebitch]

this is awesome, the part of the banjo is simply incredible

[EvanesEmperor]

this is a lol. IT'S FANTASTIC!!!

[UnyieldingDefiance]

[Blackjuggalo530]

I LOVE THAT FUCKING BASE LINE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG!!!!!!!!!! \m/

[sludgeco]

[sickandtwisted058]

Taake shows americans how to put folk into black metal... FUCK YES



[LadyGagaFANHD]

Taaaaaake , I love you *__*

[swardsen]

Im almost certain the kid from Deliverance is the one responsible for the banjo part! You can see the evil in his inbred eyes! ;)

[thissmoothie]

hail the new banjo wave of black metal (NBWOBM)

[stefpatras]

Intet ly fra regnet No shelter from the rain Står stoisk og ser på at havet stiger Standing stoically watching the sea rising Et levende helvete A living hell Til døden innhenter og befrir The death and obtain relieve Pris djevelen være lovet Price devil be praised Han forfører deres døtre He seduces their daughters

[stefpatras]

TÅKE Som en tyv i lyngen kommer smitten snikende Like a thief in the heather comes contagion creeping Væsken av råtnende frukter The liquid from rotting fruits Ekko av den lukten Echo of that smell Blott et hensvunnet minne Exposes a disappeard's place memory Gravlagt i mitt fargeløse indre Buried in my colorless internal Jeg er mange udyr I am many beasts Himmelen ligger begravet her The sky is buried here Nedover downwards

[Soulplunder133]

that bunjo part is so fucking epic...I could never believe that something like Banjo and Norwegian Black Metal could be so fucking awesome...all this album is fcking masterpiece...btw yeah Myr is cool but Nordbundet still owns....Hail Hoest

[tutmes]

Hope they use an ukulele on next album. Awesome banjo btw.



[samathanwataguan]

I never even read the comments and then the banjo part came on. It's possibly the greatest musical experiment I've ever heard. I fucking love it!

[Frosthrone]

The banjo part is genious enough said

[groovygulerod]

"Guest performers include Nocturno Culto, Attila Csihar and Demonaz, among others." But who plays the banjo???

[docDirtydirty]

Damn, that banjo was something of the most refreshing I've heard for quite a while within BM.

[jackobyuk]

BANJO AT 3:20 LOL!!! CLOWN BLACK METAL \m/

[vipersb1]

@jackobyuk Since when are Banjo's and Clowns related??

[jackobyuk]

@vipersb1 google it and you will be surprised, mister living under a rock....

[ghostbusterz]

LMAO when the banjo came in! It does sound awesome though.

[djevel86]

I'm sorry but, the banjo fuckin' rules there, it does. Get used to it, get over it. Hails!

[Bassimastprime]

Bahaha, that banjo is sick. Always good to see BM bands who are willing to go out on a limb and deviate from the typical formulas.

[Weltenfeind33]

3:35 HHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

[groucho55]

The man uses an instrument for a specific purpose. He doesn't over do it, use it as a gimmick, or abuse it. The banjo is used to fill an idea and convey a certain emotion, and then it isn't used again. Its the same with the mandolin in the track "Helvetesmakt" after this one on the album. If you don't like it, don't listen to it

[exinfurnus]

black metal banjo: this is a first for me:love it!!

[NeglectedField]

6 people are in for a relatively mild winter

[faustios]

1st country/black metal attempt and.......fail.

[WotansBote]

@faustios i would say it is more folk than country

[Weltenfeind33]

xDD awesome!!!! this banjo is epic.

[Lozarouy]

black metal ho-down

[TruueMetal]

Just when i thought black metal couldn't be any more triumphant, a brilliant banjo solo occurs!

[CryptsOfEternity94]

THE BANJO IS SO SICK!!!! Taake officially made my fucking day.

[thammywinterfrost]

Hail Taake....

[MetalRules4Life1000]

I spat out all the water in my mouth when I heard the banjo part. I wasn't expecting it. Taake has really outdone themselves this time. Fucking epic I must say! :'D

[TheTeddy4567]

Black Metal is the sound of a pig, wich is thrown with 180 km/h towards a dustbin of iron.

XDDD  I did not mean it bad.

[aegar666]

where did u get the picture from? cos i love it!!! its fucking epic! :D

[csehszlovakze]

for those who complain about the banjo, listen to Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmerik part 3, it has a jewharp!

[nonickworks]

banjo?! cool, why not :D

[TheOct10]

Hey, My Dad plays the Banjo. I wonder if I can get hoim to like Black metal now!! hahaha.. that was fucking Badass!! Banjo is hard as fuck to play. Much respect!!

[ShunsuiKyouraku8]

I love the banjo ^^

[kubuthor]

Banjo, the ultimate satan-tool...

As all the country-musicians know for decades... :))

[Lightfox177]

[tuulenkoti]

[Blackerer]

[Jerzzi007]

At the first listening I didn't like the banjo. Now think it's fucking awsome

[Balder88Balder]

the Banjo sounds so fucking epic <333

[EZisasEZdoes]

There needs to be more banjo in black metal. Fuck city folk.

[DRUGact]

banjo di merda!!

[Kuolleille]

"I hope we have the coldest winter ever..."

Gets me every time.

And yes, the banjo bit is fucking brilliant.

[LukosMelanos]

Only matters Nature...

[dodongoshit]

Oh banjo, you so random <3

[bringerofdeath1212]

fucking epic banjo riff of faith :D

[BongDaChongKuoGo]

Taake never seize to surprise...

[gravnaes]

HAHA, I fucking love Taake for the banjo bit - so unexpected.

[ColossalVoids]

Banjo Black Metal.

[PestTeufelApokalypse]

taake kazooie? i'm lovin it!!!

[Demonbane41276]

Love the banjo and the atmosphere, usually not a big fan of these vocal but i think they are done well and not overpowering...good sounds !m!

[Angrhel]

Der Rabenschrei (Thurzur!) ist toll! Ich weiß nicht, was ich von dem Banjo halten soll ..... erscheint mir im Zusammenhang mit TAAKE sehr fremd! Aber geiler Song!

[EquusStorm]

Banjo solo is best solo.

[iqqoo]

FUCKING BRUTAL BANJO!!!

[saligonth]

Oh sweet, some more guys making up for being talentless by screaming.

[dubya68]

Deliverance = kvlt.

[FLIPPITYFLOOP]

[Budoshi]

Banjo i en metall-låt:D Høres helt dust ut, men det funker som bare råballe:D

[piGGtraad]

[Cuntexplosion]

can you feel the countryside? HELL YEAH ! xD BANJO FTW !

[Cuntexplosion]

can you feel the countryside? HELL YEAH ! xD BANJO FTW !

[JanBirsa]

3:20 best part of song

[AirinDisobedience]

Sounds very very interesting, I like the parts where unusual instruments for BM come out, like the banjo here; the effect is very similar to the piano used in Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmerik I...:)

[ichorous]

Holy shit, the banjo part is absolutely awesome. Fuck the haters!

[wormsinfestedfetus]

The banjo owns this song.

[sludgeco]

fucking awesome. and the banjo makes it twice as awesome. if you disagree, well i think you have bad taste

[vinterfroest]

Fuck I love that banjo! Fucking great instrument! One of the best instruments of the world...

[csehszlovakze]

@vinterfroest right after drums, guitar and bass

[Gemetzell]

@tomuchBAformyJIFF Wasn't saying that nobody has used banjos before, merely pointing out it's a step in a different direction than that of the generic BM sound. Over-reacted a bit in my comment though, opinions are opinions and don't concern me.

[Gemetzell]

You're all fucking retarded if you don't like the banjo bit. The same generic black metal sound is far too repetitive and over-done, this is genius.

[wrongfuture]

@Gemetzell i don't like generic black metal either, but the banjo part is simply inept and actually sounds quite hipster-ish.

[2kao]

@Gemetzell genius would be taking generic black metal sounds and making them sound special. That's what he usually did, and that's why I somehow dislike the "exotic" banjo even though the riff is great

[jrangel7861]

Sick banjo solo!

[Jerzzi007]

wtf banjo? Why??

[eisklinge89]

Hell yea a banjo :D thats somethin unique. hopefully there will be a song were a banjo fits in better. im sure that you can create a great atmospherem a bit darker maybe, with this instrument. i like it :)

[VforVanish]

that banjo suonds like a joke

[Dorftroll]

I really love their debut, and I quite like their 2nd album. Then I was increasingly disppointed, to say the least, by everything they did. Now I really thought about buying that album, but then they came up with that banjo black 'n roll part. What a crap! Hoest, you should have retired 10 years ago!

[Nekrosculptor]

Is that a banjo? O.o
