One of the darkest and most strident black metal bands coming from Norway is personified by one man. Hoest, crawled from the mountains of Bergen (Norway) back in 1993, putting his roots firmly in the fiery, bloody ground zero of Norsk svartmetal. With TAAKE, Hoest has displayed a marvelous ability to innovate within the ostensibly rigid confines of black metal. Fans know what to expect, and that is the assurance that TAAKE continually manages to walk the fine line between creative expansion and maintenance of the rough, raw edge of Norwegian black metal. See the band live on our stage!
