Kong Vinter is the seventh full-length album by Norwegian black metal band Taake. It was released on 24 November 2017.
Recording and reception
Kong Vinter is Taake's first album in three years, since Stridens hus. It was produced by long-time collaborator Bjoernar Erevik Nilsen and recorded at Conclave Studio in Bergen. The album was received well by Norwegian and international critics. Metal Hammer notably praised Hoest and Taake's longevity:
With Gorgoroth now past their prime, Abbath practising his Diamond Dave pose and Enslaved going prog, Taake – or should we say their overlord and sole performer in the studio, Hoest – pretty much remains the last band standing in their native Bergen, seven albums in.
— Olivier Badin, Metal Hammer
