10" split single on black vinyl. Limited 777 copies

The blackest and definitely most blasphemous split-release everto emerge from the city between the seven mountains of Bergen,Norway: Jaertegn with Taake and Deathcult. The split features onenew track from each band, as well as one cover each from some trueheavyweights of the genre, Darkthrone and Beherit respectively.Hoest is no stranger to Deathcult, as he does play Bass in theband, a role he fills on this split album as well, pulling doubleduty for both Taake and Deathcult. Deathcult have two full lengthsunder their belt prior to this release, and are not to beunderestimated, their debut Cult Of The Dragon was met with muchappraisal in the underground circles. The first thing one willnotice on Taake`s side of this EP is already very apparent on thefirst track Slagmark. This doest not sound like a Kong Vinterleftover. The production on this track is far rawer than most ofTaakes output the last 10 years at the very least. Hoest`s vocalsalso sound much more vicious and spiteful than your standard Taakeperformance, it´s like he spews every line with pure venom.

Deathcult don´t call themselves Cruel Norwegian Black metal fornothing. Deathcult´s music is vicious and cruel. The riffs of theirfirst offering on this EP Der Würger (The strangler) brings youstraight back to the church burning glory days of the genre. Vocalsare standard black metal fare rasps, occasionally layered for akind of echo effect. Rasps are perfectly fine, black metal neverwanted or needed to be anything extraordinary in terms of vocals,but the layering does help keep it from growing stale. Like Taake,Deathcult have their groovier moments, some of the riffs later inthe track sound like straight up Black n roll. All 4 tracks aresolid, the Beherit cover being particularly standout, and overallthe EP is definitely not a blight in either of the bands cataloguesof music. So in the end, how it functions together might not bethat important. "Jaertegn" is a great EP. 2 great covers, 2 tracksthat make you want more, all we can do is hope for another Taakefull length, and patiently wait for one from Deathcult.
