One of the most striking aspects of 'Hordaland Doedskvad' is the vast array of musical styles it encompasses. While Black Metal is often characterized by its raw, aggressive sound, this album demonstrates a level of depth and versatility that is not commonly found within the genre. The musicianship is both melodic and brutal, with the guitar work being particularly noteworthy. Unlike some Black Metal bands that rely heavily on repeating the same four chords, Taake's guitarist showcases their skill and creativity throughout the album.
The musical spectrum displayed in 'Hordaland Doedskvad' is especially impressive considering it comes from the Norwegian Black Metal scene, which has often been criticized for replicating Darkthrone's style. Taake manages to break free from these constraints, offering listeners a fresh and captivating experience.
