A black metal band from Bergen, Norway, Taake was founded in 1995 by Hoest (Ørjan Stedjeberg). Initially known as Thule before changing their name to Taake in 1995, the band's name represents the fog surrounding the seven mountains of their hometown, Bjørgvin (Bergen).
Hoest has always been the driving force behind Taake and often handles all instruments on recordings. However, for live performances and specific projects, he collaborates with various session musicians to ensure a full lineup. The current band lineup includes Hoest on vocals since 1995, Gjermund Fredheim and Aindiachaí on guitars since 2007, V'gandr and Eld on bass since 2007 and 2015 respectively, Rune Nesse on drums since 2019, and Sanrabb on guitars since 2022.
With a sound reminiscent of bands like Carpathian Forest, Gehenna, and Marduk among others, Taake has established themselves as a prominent figure in the black metal scene. Their music is characterized by intense vocals accompanied by powerful guitar riffs and atmospheric melodies. Explore their discography to experience the raw energy and dark ambiance that defines Taake.

“Avvik” collects the Taake tracks from three split-10" releases for a limited digipak cd release.
