Norwegian black metal icon Hoest has cast some positivity into the hell that has been 2020, with the release of two Taake 10″ split EPs, one with Deathcult (on Edged Circle Productions) and one with Whoredom Rife (on Terratur Possessions), and now, as the year draws to a close, a third split has been announced with Helheim through Dark Essence Records. Titled Henholdsvis, the EP is set for release on the 5th of March 2021.

For Henholdsvis Taake has recorded two new tracks, "Brotne Bein Og Mannefall" and "Ein Baat I Foss", whose lyrics are based on poems by the famed Norwegian writer Arne Garborg (1851-1924). Helheim, on the other hand, will present two covers. The first is a remastered version of Emperor's "Heksesabbat / Witches Sabbath", which originally appeared on the tribute album A Tribute to Emperor - In Honour of Icon E in 2012. The other is a cover of "Orkan" from Taake's Noregs Vaapen album.

Recorded by Bjørnar E. Nilsen ( Vulture Industries, Black Hole Generator) at his Conclave and Earshot Studios in the bands' hometown of Bergen, and with artwork by H'grimnir, the track listing for Henholdsvis is as follows:

1. Brotne Bein Og Mannefall - Taake
2. Ein Baat I Foss - Taake
3. Orkan - Helheim
4. Heksesabbat - Helheim
