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.^{[4][5][6][7][8]} 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^[6]
