Nattestid Ser Porten Vid (translation Night Sees the Wide Gate) was the first full-length album released by Norwegian black metal band Taake. It was released by Wounded Love Records in 1999. The album was written entirely by Høst but he brought in a session musician, Tundra, to perform bass and drums. It was recorded throughout 1997 and 1998 at Grieghallen. "Nattestid..." is part one of a trilogy, all the writing on the CD and lyrics in the booklet are written in runes. All of the lyrics are sung in Norwegian. This album is now considered a classic.
